“Given the fact that there is opportunity cost in every decision we make,” Stephen reflects, “should you generally invest more in the things that you are already good at or things that you want to improve in?” Hear Angela Duckworth’s reply on this week’s ep: freak.ws/3y5nMQ8

Excited about what the future of Plant Ecophysiology has in store for this great group of scientists. #PhysFest 3!

After #Tunisia's president suspends parliament, dismisses the prime minister and cabinet and assumes emergency powers, Institute for the Study of Diplomacy non-resident fellow Gordon Gray explores what's next for the birthplace of the Arab Spring. Read more:

A lot of sweat and frustration went into getting here, but we're finally getting close to a manuscript on resources and applications for open-source monitoring for addressing questions on fine-scale microclimate variability in forests!

First authors on some of the more interesting recent papers I've read aren't on Twitter...a sign?

Is there (should there be) some scale of appropriateness for number of studies originating from the same experiment (and so geographic point, in ecology), overlapping data and/or yrs of study, with adjacent messages, citing each other as foundational info? #AcademicTwitter

Déclaration du Lieutenant-colonel Mamady Doumbouya. Il annonce l'arrestation du Président Alpha Condé ainsi que d'autres mesures comme la dissolution de la constitution, des institutions en place, la fermeture des frontières. #Kaloum #Guinee #Kibaro

Ended a 3.5 yr study today tracking fine-scale #forest #microclimate & young tree responses in a forest restoration treatment where tree groups are left with intentional vertical and horizontal heterogeneity. #forestresilience Thx esp Jeffery B. Cannon, PhD🌲🔥🌪️ Scott Bradfield & others.

For you Kate Hill

Check out our new paper out in Agricultural and Forest Meteorology Journal, we developed and tested a system for measuring abiotic variables for #forest and #fireecology. They are open source, 90% cheaper than iButtons, and can do way more! Thanks to the big team that made this work! bit.ly/3Nx2aCZ

A couple examples of when inadvertent habitat creation with #microclimate sensors means being more careful where your hands go
