Reminder: We are seeking TWO Postdoctoral Fellows for conservation research of the critically endangered Vancouver Island marmot: a population & habitat viability modelling & a conservation genomics position in partnership with @unbc-nresi.bsky.social More info marmots.org/recovery-eff... #consgen 🌎
A Vancouver Island marmot pup watches you intently. What are they thinking? Are they thinking about how much they need YOU to apply your incredible research skills to saving their species? No. At least probably not. But they do need it, even if they are not thinking it. Is this a fantastical and highly inaccurate description of the inner monologue of a small marmot really "descriptive alt text?" We think so. For the record, the marmot is resting its forelegs on a surprising diamond shaped rock, both on a larger moss covered stone with grasses in the background.

There is a very significant chance that the entire Research and Development program at the US Forest Service is going to be dismantled in the coming weeks. This is going to be devastating and will hamstring our ability to manage public lands and the wildlife that depend on them.

The Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases NSF program has been archived. Huge loss. Does anyone know if the current proposals in the queue for funding will not be reviewed or are panels still happening?

I fear that, especially now, scientists getting off Twitter where we can engage with the general public and instead siloing ourselves here is a very big mistake. We need to share what we do and why it's important with the broadest possible audience.

Week 2 of tracking Deer 665's fall migration. She made a rather large movement during the first couple weeks of November. Many deer often stopover before leaving the foothills and heading south to winter range. Will be interesting to see if 665 does the same.

The comments are all crapping on the technology and math, but it seems like many don't understand the idea. The idea is store lots of C with a small mass of the powder by quickly absorbing it and releasing it over and over again with low energy on industrial scales. That's the idea.
