Excited that this paper is out in the world! A global synthesis of vegetation change since the last glacial maximum based on 594 paleoecological records led by me, Steve Jackson, and @TucsonPeck!! science.sciencemag.org/conte…

🌱I'm thrilled to share that I will start my lab at Caltech in the Division of Biology and Biological Engineering this August! We'll investigate the cellular dynamics that drive organ development, focusing on the critical transitions between cell proliferation and differentiation

How do hormone-mediated signaling networks vary in space and time? In our latest out in @ScienceMagazine we use time series scRNA-seq to profile brassinosteroid responses across the cell types and developmental stages of the Arabidopsis root. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

1 in 5 Sierra Nevada conifers are no longer compatible with the environmental conditions around them — raising questions about how to manage the land. Researchers say it may get worse. n.pr/3l79dKu

So thrilled to finally share what I’ve been working on lately: Meet Heatmap, a new media company focused on the great climate and energy transition. We’re building for people ready for a deeper take on the world’s biggest story. 🐦: @Heatmap_News 🗺️: heatmap.news

While it's surreal to see a chapter of my dissertation in NYT, I'm grateful for the opportunity to bring the conversation about impending ecological transitions and their implications to a broad audience. Thanks to coauthors @chrfield @connornolan @khemesphere @trevorcambron
A warming climate has created "zombie forests." A fifth of the conifer forests that blanket California's Sierra Nevada are left stranded in habitats that no longer suit them, according to a new Stanford University study. nyti.ms/3mxC62I

We have a new paper out today in @PNASNexus! We find that 19.5 of conifer forests in the CA Sierra Nevada are out of equilibrium with climate doi.org/10.1093/pnasnexus/pg…

We’re excited to release a new tool to help quantify uncertainty across carbon dioxide removal (CDR) pathways, as part of a collaboration with Frontier led by @FreyaChay @joannaklitzke and @hausfath. (1/8) carbonplan.org/research/cdr-…

Today is the peak of California's worst September heatwave ever recorded. The number of locations recording 110°F+ is simply extraordinary. Many major cities have experienced their hottest day ever recorded, including San Jose and Santa Rosa. #Heatwave2022

I seem to be perpetually skeptical of claims made by more abstract thinkers that win-win solutions are around the corner. Perhaps this very abstract paper will help those abstract thinkers think about why win-win outcomes are less common than they think? doi.org/10.1038/s41893-022-0…

Today we're excited to launch cdr.fyi: a new open reporting platform for high-durability carbon dioxide removal purchases & deliveries - 584,000 tons tracked (4.6% delivered) - $150M total sales - 540 orders x ~100 buyers, 70 suppliers, 40 marketplaces 🚀🧵👇

👋 We've put together a @lowercarbon wishlist of carbon removal ideas, both geochemical and biological. A lot of them won’t work, most will need new research, but they all need ambitious founders to try them! lowercarboncapital.com/2022/…

Considering how soil C is associated with minerals? Check out this amazing global analysis by @GeorgiouKat and co-authors for estimates of global stocks, driving factors behind the associations, and its ability to explain C accumulation. Wow! nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
