Are you #ReadyToRewild ? Today is #WorldRewildingDay To protect, restore and rewild the living world is probably the most effective solution we have at hand to fight both the climate- and ecological emergencies. Rewilding Britain

In science, the divide between reject vs. accept or lose vs. win is often very arbitrary. It's not enough to be great, you also have to be LUCKY. More great people would be lucky if we invested more $ in science. For now, all you can do is win with humility & lose with courage.

I've spent my professional life as an ecologist and its increasingly hard to balance the dispassionate scientist with the agony of watching nature being destroyed... Great article by @kimberlynicholas.bsky.social theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

BREAKING: We're suing Georgia over its illegal voter suppression law.

I just wrote to my senators and representatives to support Energy Innovation & Carbon Dividend Act. This policy is one of the best ways to fight the #ClimateEmergency. Join me in taking #ClimateAction and ask your representatives to support energyinnovationact.org

President Biden will host 40 world leaders for a climate summit on Earth Day, where he will announce a new target to reduce U.S. emissions. This is an important step to restore U.S. global climate leadership. ejus.tc/3mR4K9V

I am participating in an #EarthDay2021 fundraising event for the UW food pantry. Sustainability trivia with a twist: I get a pie 🥧in the face for a wrong answer 😛 If you want to donate, let me know $$ for each pie face received. green.uw.edu/blog/2021-04/s…

The majority of the world may not have access to the vaccines for a couple of years. Rich countries like the US are pursuing a vaccines-only pandemic strategy, hoarding supplies instead of implementing public health measures and sharing the vaccines. Unacceptable.

Cool new pub from @kristie_ebi, Jeremy Hess, and wonderful colleagues Dr. Loladze Becca Neumann @Rob__Wood and others! Nutritional quality of crops in a high CO2 world: an agenda for research and technology development doi.org/10.1088/1748-9… via IOPscience

Such good advice, the rule of thirds! ..."When you are chasing a big goal you should feel good 1/3 of the time, OK 1/3 of the time & crummy a 1/3 of the time." ... If not, you are either overworking or not working hard enough!

My daughter’s pretty cool 😎 👩🏼‍🔬

Seattle’s Duwamish River cleanup is under triple threat - Sign the Petition! chng.it/q6gNTcNv via Change.org

The US House passed the #PFAS Action Act, which restricts these “forever chemicals” and jumpstarts their cleanup. Sen. Maria Cantwell and Senator Patty Murray will you follow suit and pass policy that protects the health of your constituents? Please do!

We have finished compiling the latest trends in the state of the world's ice. Antarctica, Greenland, the world's glaciers, & Arctic sea ice are at or near record lows. Share with others- we are in a climate emergency: doi.org/10.1093/biosci… Pressure policy makers to take action

As many as 1 in 10 American deaths today is caused by air pollution. A #PriceOnCarbon now could help save 4.5 million lives over the next 50 years: bit.ly/3hHeUJf #ClimateChange #ClimateChangeSolutions #CarbonTax #CarbonPricing

The impacts of climate change are growing both in frequency & severity. We need science to lead the way. Sen. Maria Cantwell, please support the National Climate Adaptation & Resilience Strategy Act (S.3531/H.R.6461) & the Climate Adaptation Science Centers Act (H.R.6654/S.3621).

My first ever podcast interview is out! "What is a River 2022" on theriverradius.com. We talk about what is in a river at the micro level - sources of water, residence times, chemicals, pathogens... it was fun! (but it is hard to listen to oneself and not be critical! )

Join me in holding the fossil fuel industry accountable. Demand Congress reject side deals that benefit Big Oil and focus instead of passing environmental justice legislation. We need #ClimateAction now! act.ucsusa.org/3Djb1XC
