Native grasslands are considered one of the most endangered ecosystems on the planet, and home to a third of Canada's endangered species. So why are we still plowing them up?

"With grad student stipends ranging from low to insultingly low, a platter of goodies can be an unwelcome extravagance." Science Careers columnist Adam Ruben argues that grad students shouldn't be expected to serve food and drink at committee meetings. sciencemag.org/careers/2019/1…

It's a win-win: preserve our remaining native grasslands, save multiple species at risk, sequester and store carbon. #grasslandsareawesome Alberta Wilderness Association @CPAWSAB Grasslands More Reliable Carbon Sink than Trees - Science and Climate climatechange.ucdavis.edu/news/grassland… via UC Davis

Dave Stanton is working on this specimen together with Pontus Skoglund. It's 18 kyrs old! So far, we have sequenced it's genome to 2X coverage. But we still can't say if it's a #wolf or a #dog. Maybe it's the common ancestor? More sequencing needed! (Photo: S Fedorov)

Hot off the Press is our recently published book chapter on The Transformative Impact of Genomics on Sage-Grouse Conservation and Management. Here we summarize the latest approaches and findings about sage-grouse genetics and genomics link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…

My lab is having a 2-Day writing retreat on Campus today at CSU. Trying to increase our individual and Lab Productivity. Not a bad view for 2 days. Thanks CSU Writes.

Kristen Davis talking at the SRM Meeting in Denver about her MS Research on Birds and Beef management through Collaboratvie Adaptive Resource Management. Heterogeneity of the landscape is a tight Balancing Act!

Dr. Jennifer Timmmer sharing her PhD research integrating Sagebrush Bird density predictions into STMs for sagebrush ecosystems. A novel application that should be applied more broadly for management applications.

Aldridge Lab Metting today, going all virtual. It was actually kind of fun to connect. Friday, we will try out vFAC..'v' for Virtual. Looking forward to it!

The Thunderbirds flew over the Blue Truck office today in a show of thanks and respect for Colorado’s amazing health care professionals. Thank you! We’ll get through this. #airforce #Thunderbirds #flyover

A small reminder and a great Story. Earth day and Leopold's Land Ethic coming of age with the youth of today. chicagotribune.com/opinion/commen…

What does a mask do? Blocks respiratory droplets coming from your mouth and throat. Two simple demos: First, I sneezed, sang, talked & coughed toward an agar culture plate with or without a mask. Bacteria colonies show where droplets landed. A mask blocks virtually all of them.

Great Job today Arianna. I hope you took the night off and celebrated. Cheers!

Our range-wide Hierarchical Sage-grouse Population Monitoring Framework was just Published. A huge workload with many great Collaborators.

New Ptarmigan PhD (or MS) ASSISTANTSHIPS: Cameron L Aldridge from CSU Ecosystem Science and Sustainability USGS is recruiting 2 MS/ PhD positions in ecology to study white-tailed ptarmigan population processes (demographics and genomics) More info and how to apply here: nrel.colostate.edu/investigator/c…
