American Society of Naturalists has released a statement in support of Dr. Priyanga Amarasekare. What UCLA is doing to her is a hot secretive mess: amnat.org/announcements/…

Also where's the support from Ecological Society?? They'll give an award to a woman of color, but then not support her any further than that?

Join Climate Reality Los Angeles and us next Saturday for a walk and conversation about #NativePlants, #Water, #Biodiversity, #Trees, #StormwaterCapture, the #ClimateCrisis, how they connect, and what we can do!!!! Learn more and RSVP at ncsa.la/native_plants_….

Take this with a grain of salt, as this author has his own problematic history at several institutions, but here's more info on the history of discrimination at UCLA, even before the ongoing case against Priyanga: pamarasekare.org/an-insider-s

A small way to help Dr. Priyanga Amarasekare would be to sign this new petition to California legislators (see previous recent posts in my feed for more info on this situation). Please repost: urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https…

Hang out with Richard at ESA and you will not be disappointed 👇
