The simplest things—a hot cup of tea, a soft blanket, or a kind word—can make the hardest days bearable.

Rest is not wasted. Sometimes doing nothing is the most productive thing for your soul.

@oldenfish Lovely indeed. What mesh??

@GusMcI @jdtonkin @UCNZ @UCNZscience @UCNZbiology Congrats indeed! Very well deserved Jono!

Surface temperature of world's oceans has reached highest on record, even before El Niño fully kicks in. Meanwhile, House Republicans pass legislation that would increase exploration for and production of oil and gas. washingtonpost.com/weather/2023/0…

@oldenfish @kmalofs @UMSEAS Nice photo!!!

Congrats Brad!

@streambug @Albert_Ruhi What a great finding! Sorry to have missed the talk, congrats to Jaxon!

@Albert_Ruhi Yours was freaking awesome too! We need to talk. I left some comments on yours in the virtual side. Thanks so much for putting your talk there!!

@DrBioGC Congrats Emily on some really nice work that advances our general understanding of rivers in global context!

A 🧵(1 of 8) about our new paper which has been a LooooNG time coming. In "Light and flow regimes regulate the metabolism of rivers" pnas.org/content/119/8/… we compare annual rates of river and terrestrial ecosystem metabolism from hundreds of sites.

@CGhalambor This is fantastic!

@oldenfish @chni0001 You dawg! Now tell us how to gets copy!!!

But it’s not only knowledge gaps or disparities in access to information, but also insufficient communication and exchange, and inadequate policy, lack of political will, or the decoupling of current policy from demonstrated best practices that we will have to fix.

@jdtonkin In a large, sprawling field like Ecology (not in the PNAS graphs), we have lots of "frontiers" to explore conceptually but also the academic inertia of the LPU. Our community is moving toward societal relevance in our research as a value to be rewarded. That's a good thing.

@BrennaRForester @USFWS Congrats Brenna! We’ll deserved and they are lucky to get you!

In 2017, a Chinese ship was detained in the #GalápagosMarineReserve, with > 7 thousand shark carcasses🦈🦈. Today, we published the study of this event and its implications for shark conservation. @USFQ_COCIBA, @GSCGalapagos, @parquegalapagos. Open: doi.org/10.1038/s41598…

@CrytzerFry So cool!

Volume up! Uno the #roadrunner fledged at 8:57 a.m. yesterday -- after an hour's worth of attempts, encouragement & cooing from nearby mom/dad, some withholding of a lizard breakfast to entice him. 1/2 (Don't miss 2nd linked video where he jumps into the world!)

Sounds like a great opportunity! We’ll done Julian.

@alan_knapp For a more physical perspective on the enduring legacy of prolonged droughts on catchment-scale runoff, see the excellent paper by Peterson et al. in Science. science.sciencemag.org/content/372/65…
