@flowingdata Really cool visualization! #4 vs #12 shows exactly why having 4 kids is way more than twice the work as having 2 kids.

There were 4,708 household types in the U.S., based on the 2021 American Community Survey. Here's the 40 most common.

You know lifestyle choices for climate but what about for biodiversity?? We’ve prioritised 10 easy things you can do today that could make a huge difference if we all took them up @Biodivcouncil @ICON_Science @HugePossum @M_Selinske theconversation.com/nature-is-in-c… via @ConversationEDU

Our new article in Landscape Ecology (in which I get to be senior author!). A new fractal index to classify forest fragmentation and disorder. Extensively tested, and applied to real data. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@PamMcElwee @GyamiPhD @EcoGreenQueen @mhunsicker33 @ProfAbigailYork @Aquanaut1967 @TheresaCrimmins @numberwright Thanks for your amazing leadership, Pam! 💙

And that’s a wrap on #NCA5 all-author meeting in DC! Great to meet colleagues in person finally after 18 months of Teams calls and emails. Chapter 8 ecosystems is the bestest chapter team ever ❤️ @GyamiPhD @EcoGreenQueen @mhunsicker33 @ProfAbigailYork @Jen_Costanza

Is sprawling urban growth or compact development better for biodiversity and other ecological outcomes? We reviewed the science, and evidence to date is mixed. Our paper offers suggestions for studies that can fully test alternative urban configurations.

@professor_dave How did you do it? I’m looking for tips!

One of my bigger successes as a parent was turning the 9yo into 'the skateboarding kid' at his school. Gives him a tribe/identity, makes him one of the best at something, and gives him something to occupy himself. 🛹

Our paper on the representative, ideal scale for calculating forest structural diversity from aerial lidar is now online at @MethodsEcolEvol doi.org/10.1111/2041-2…

You’ve heard of “Elf on the Shelf.” Now get ready for...

@nezampieri Congratulations!!!

Agree these are really well done @conscorridor!

@JRubinBlogger As a graduate of IU that’s exactly what I’ve been thinking. Absolutely would not recommend to my kids.

If you are a college student considering Univ. of Indiana, Purdue, Notre Dame rethink your choice unless you plan on taking a vow of celibacy.

@KFILE Had it for many months last year. It was so bad at times that I couldn’t really walk. In addition to custom orthotics, wearing Oofos recovery sandals around the house worked wonders.

Do any runners who came down with plantar fasciitis have tips? Started having heel pain seemingly out of the blue last Friday. Nothing seems to make it better. Super bummed because I signed up to do the NYC Marathon to raise money team beans in November. Haven’t run in a week.
