I put up a copy of the presentation I gave for the Boston Postdoc Association at the #NPA meeting, for anyone that wants to see the (pre-COVID, 2019) survey from #BostonPostdocs: youtube.com/watch?v=p_jpyj… I’ll also tweet some of the highlights below: [THREAD]

Hi my friends, check out my newly launched research initiative here gofund.me/9a0a30ee because I believe you will love helping us with the biggest challenge today. #climatechanegscience #fireupresearchCA #CAfire #WomenInSTEM #FireEcology #climbingscientist #biodiversity

Congratulations to DOCTORA Estefania Fernandez! Her dissertation has it all: ✅ Understudied carbon pools ✅ Global insect declines ✅ Tropical forest restoration I couldn't be a prouder co-advisor! University of Missouri–St. Louis Harris World Ecology Center MoBot Research Dept. Tropical Studies

It’s bittersweet to announce that I’ve left academia for a data science job in the NGO world. It has been about a month since I rescinded my post-doc (and while I’m bummed not to be working with that amazing crew), I couldn’t be happier. I wrote a short 🧵 about that decision:

Come get a PHD with me and Jacob Barney and Tess Thompson on how to keep invasive species out of stream restorations! SERestoration ESA Restoration

Great new study by Matthew W. Austin etal, featured in the STL Post-Dispatch!

🚨Funded PhD in Restoration Ecology & Invasive Species🚨 Come help me, Jacob Barney, and Tess Thompson do impactful research to make stream #restoration more resistant to #invasivespecies ESA Restoration SERestoration Natural Areas Association Chesapeake Bay Trust

Indigenous Peoples and their traditional knowledge are essential to sustain forest biodiversity. #WeAreIndigenous #IndigenousDay #IndigenousPeoplesDay

There is a happy medium between active planting and passive restoration- #AssistedNaturalRegeneration! Check out this approach and its potential to restore millions of hectares of land, sequester carbon, & more: #GenerationRestoration #AFR100

#NBSCarbonCredits- If done right, will help: 🤝Deliver the #ParisAgreement goals 🌱Foster protection & #restoration of natural ecosystems 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Secure the rights & livelihoods of #Indigenous Peoples & local communities. This guidance provides insights on their voluntary use:

lighter than concrete, more fire-resistant than steel, strong enough to support an eighteen-story skyscraper: mass timber is the most solarpunk shit imaginable-- it's also an interesting study in what green industry actually means. a thread.

We are looking to hire a postdoc for fall 2022 or spring 2023. If you are interested in plant-soil interactions, soil microbial functional legacies, or coupled C & N dynamics – let’s chat at #ESA2022! Details ecosystemchronicles.wordpress.com/join-the-lab/

Really nice piece on clarifying #sustainability in selectively logging natural forests. Definitions of sustainable yield are ambiguous, which are often reflected in regulations and result in declining yields over time. #forests | #forestry | @aroopsind academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/arti…

Its really hard for me to figure out a good justification for planting trees above 4000 m in the rain shadow of the Himalayas with less then 100 mm of rain/year. To me this is the farcical endpoint of mindless promotion of tree planting. news.trust.org/item/202208170…

Forest science includes social science, and we will absolutely fail to use forests to store carbon if we fail to understand their social dynamics, yet this collection in Nature contains 0 mention of or publication of social science. nature.com/articles/d4158…

“I am keen to see the recent IUCN’s assessment of #Malawi’s FLR policy alignment providing concrete areas for policy interventions, and I believe the #RestorationPolicyAccelerator comes at a good time to help fill the gaps identified.” #TanguTumeo- IUCN ESARO

This report was published thanks to the efforts of Harvard Medical Postdoc Association, BPDA President @yalcinessra, Mayank Chugh (he/him), and many more. Postdocs deserve a competitive wage if institutes hope to retain them and foster their success in academia. Help us spread the word!

Calling businesses / organizations actively recruiting or interested in meeting with PhD scientists: please consider attending the Harvard FAS Postdoc Association career fair on June 15! Reach out with questions or to express interest! More info: bit.ly/3Hfis3d #careerfair #careers Please RT!
