Translational science is time consuming and the rewards aren’t always clear. But the past few weeks have shown the positive outcomes of the #invasivespecies and #climatechange work done and applied by the @riscc_network. Some examples I’m psyched about 🧵:

How will climate change affect the dynamics of plant pathogen epidemics? Along with an all-star team of @Princeton / @RMBLGothic undergrads, I used the flax rust model system and semi-mechanistic models to investigate this question. nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

What future for fungal plant pathogens under climate change? - @ianfmiller1 and a huge team of Princeton undergraduates collected vast amounts of field data to pull together a window onto this question: nature.com/articles/s41598-0… funded by @PrincetonEnviro
Aaaand, that’s a wrap. Great field season w/ @madison_lichak at the incredible @SANParksAENP. 75 elephant biopsies in 2 weeks! Monumental feat, but we pulled it off. She’s got one epic dissertation ahead of her. Good stuff. #shesgotskills – at Addo, South Africa

#ESA2022 #CSEE2022 Below are some personal highlights of the talks (it is a pity that I have missed a ton of great ones as there are many concurrent sessions). I put links to papers when applicable for those who would like to check out the wonderful science.

Does anyone have recommendations for non-plastic, biodegradable, or at least VERY DURABLE pin flags? (normal ones get totally shredded after one winter + ground squirrels) I'm on a quest to avoid adding more microplastics to the Arctic tundra!

This is AMAZING!!
Ever wonder what it would look like to watch the Aurora all night long at Toolik. Well, we have you covered. Aurora researchers from UAF have reinstated the Toolik Lake All Sky Camera and you can watch a whole night via YouTube. Start at minute 1. youtu.be/pN6cuMdzUTY
