1/2 Honored to share my journey as a first-gen scientist with Vivien Marx🐘📬⛅️ in @NatureMethods! Highlights: • The power of diversity in STEM • How perseverance overcomes doubts • The impact of mentorship & support Let's keep pushing for inclusive science! #DiversityInSTEM

My last site visit as a S&TPolicyFellowships fellow for Senator Alex Padilla! It was an honor to chat with Yosemite National Park about their approaches to equitable park access and managing sequoias under climate change 🏞️ (rockin’ the socks and sandals look ofc!)

What Kamala Harris’s historic bid for the US presidency means for science. We scientists are optimistic!! nature.com/articles/d4158…

So lovely to finally get to see Korie Grayson, PhD (she/her) in person rather than on zoom! We worked together for years on Women Doing Science and now are reunited as S&TPolicyFellowships fellows 💙

45 memos, 10 letters, 5 bills, and 1 selfie later - my year as a fellow with Senator Alex Padilla has flown by! So grateful to have worked in this office. California, you are in great hands! (Pictured with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)/Caltech connection: the beaver! 🦫)

At the airport on my way back to California, reflecting on an incredible year as the S&TPolicyFellowships congressional fellow in climate science. Thanks for this sweet story 💙I already miss Team Padilla! aaas.org/news/meet-alex…

Dive into Dr Alexandra A Phillips's fellowship year...via social! As STPF's first Legislative Branch Fellow in #climate science, Alex said she "really wanted to...work on legislation that would help the climate crisis in a way that I felt like my research was doing." bit.ly/4dv2csC

13 years ago I was picking up my campus card to start my first year of college - now I’m back at UC Santa Barbara to start my first year as faculty 🥹💙

Working on slides for my graduate environmental writing class and realized that nobody ever really taught me the steps for writing an academic paper, so here is my process some dozen or so manuscripts later.

Job alert! 🚨 Looks like a great position opening up at UC Riverside to be an assistant teaching faculty in environmental science (Happy to chat more or share materials with anyone interested in teaching faculty roles) aprecruit.ucr.edu/JPF01980

Job alert! UCSB Bren School is hiring an environmental economist & data scientist 💵 🌏📊 Applications are due 11/25. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about Bren, UCSB, or the position. recruit.ap.ucsb.edu/JPF02842

I love to see so many new teaching faculty jobs opening up at UC Santa Barbara! 🍎 Another great opportunity at the intersection of #datascience and the environment. Apply by November 22. recruit.ap.ucsb.edu/JPF02860

A much needed moment with the ocean today 💙

Very proud of this work and the wonderful people involved! We introduce the idea of an isotope-exchange 'clock' that estimates the in situ residence time of acetate via Orbitrap MS and identify an active carbon cycle in the continental subsurface. nature.com/articles/s4146…

That feeling when you vote for the first female president 🥹 Can’t wait to see what you do for our climate and our country Kamala Harris! 🎉 #IVotedEarly

New #TREE paper motivated by my brilliant colleague, Ruth Oliver UCSB Bren School! Trends in Ecology & Evolution "Animal tracking data provide unprecedented detail about how and why populations change" doi.org/10.1016/j.tree…

Great way to kick off AGU (American Geophysical Union) day one! Thanks Elizabeth Landau for inviting me to be a part of your #AGU2024 workshop on science policy engagement 🏛️
