This report was published thanks to the efforts of @harvardmpa1, BPDA President @yalcinessra, @mayank_mchugh, 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!

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_jpyjr8…
I’ll also tweet some of the highlights below:

“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- @IucnE

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/d41586-0…

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/20220817…

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.

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.

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:

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It has been about a month since I rescinded my post-doc (and while I’m bummed not to be working with that amazing crew), I couldn’t be happier.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:

Great new study by @Matt_W_Austin etal, featured in the STL Post-Dispatch!
The plants are now blooming earlier in the year and producing more flamboyant, attention-grabbing flowers than they used to thanks to climate change.

Congratulations to DOCTORA @epi_stef!
Her dissertation has it all:
✅ Understudied carbon pools
✅ Global insect declines
✅ Tropical forest restoration
I couldn't be a prouder co-advisor!
