What grace, power, and eloquence. Astounding and moving

Poet Amanda Gorman, 22, followed in the footsteps of Robert Frost and Maya Angelou as she took the stage for Biden's inauguration. "Somehow we do it," she said. "Somehow we weathered and witnessed a nation that isn't broken, but simply unfinished." trib.al/TUMA45K

Thanks to @JordanS1981 for an excellent write up on our recent work in Forbes. Soil Loss Costs U.S. Corn Farmers Half a Billion Dollars Each Year via @forbes forbes.com/sites/jordanst…

This paper took a long time to get right but it's a rare look at the actual costs of land degradation in agriculture. The Hidden Costs of Land Degradation in U.S. Maize Agriculture agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.102…

@coolfireecology @SIIL_KSU Thanks Paul. it's even better because this postdoc will get to work with Paul as well!

Great postdoc opportunity for advancing, science, collaboration, and communication related to drought risk and resilience for smallholder farmers in Senegal, Cambodia, and Bangladesh. @JasonNeffCU @SIIL_KSU jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDetail…

Here’s a little bit of positive environmental news in an otherwise dreary year. colorado.edu/today/2020/12/…

I love this story about the Turkish immigrant couple that started BioNTech in Germany and now have created the m-RNA vaccine that is over 90% effective in phase 3 trials. It’s a reminder of how much we all benefit from science, innovation, and open borders washingtonpost.com/world/europe/c…

Wow! The world just changed for the better

After working in various African nations over the last few years, I am used to wishing colleagues ‘good luck with the upcoming election, I hope it is peaceful’. It speaks volumes about the state of our nation that they are now wishing the same for me.

It’s hard to imagine how anyone can lead such a fundamentally divided country. The rural/urban and education level divisions in the US have grown even larger in this election and are a threat to functional governance at the state and federal level.

Important new work on digital access on small farms with big implications for the future of digital tools and technologies
