Congratulations! In my experience the transition from research to professor _is_ a transition, but a worthwhile one! Excited to see what you and your lab will do next!

Any survival of larger trees in the treated units?

Good photos of a rather bleak state. It always amazes me how quickly the oaks can resprout.

This is excellent! Thanks!

Any updates on the fire behavior in Teakettle?

My colleague and I were talking about this topic yesterday. There are some good ideas in the article. Financial incentives are effective. Why not provide discounted publication fees to those who have previously reviewed? Something along the lines of a frequent flyer program.

Forest Service research survives in House spending bill Republican appropriators also set aside a White House request for a new wildfire agency at Interior.

Great opportunity!

Huh… I will have to read this…

Consider changing this statement from the future conditional tense to the present tense.

Large ponderosa pine with red needles; delayed mortality four years after a fire

Back from a week of field work to kick off summer data collection. Lots of beauty, as always, but the delayed post-fire mortality mediated by bark beetles in the large ponderosa pines was disheartening.

Great news - we will be searching for a tree physiologist (tenure track) to join the Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences, UBC Forestry, later this year. Stay tuned! (Please share.)

Feel free to point me toward your peer reviewed publication to back up your assertions.

This article misrepresents active management with examples of poor management. Most active management on public lands in the US is focused on maintaining and restoring ecological integrity. Selective logging of large trees is incredibly uncommon nowadays, And prohibited in many areas.

I’m so sorry. The whole situation is just impossible.

Trump Dismantling the Science that Built American Greatness Smart people are a limited resource, and they have choices. They don’t need to come here, or stay here, if our Government makes them feel unwelcome.

Very well stated summary of the history of the United States scientific leadership and of the impact of this administration in a very short time.

Atmospheric CO2 has passed 430 parts per million.

The last time atmospheric CO2 was at 430 ppm was during the ancient Pliocene Era, three to five million years ago, and humans didn’t exist.

What a loss this would be. Keep calling your representatives.

Gifford Pinchot famously wrote, “Where conflicting interests must be reconciled, the question shall always be answered from the standpoint of the greatest good of the greatest number in the long run.”

Energy Department cuts university overhead rates to 15% on research grants Sudden move mirrors NIH cap on “indirect” costs that was ruled illegal

Breaking news: The U.S. Department of Energy today announced it is unilaterally cutting in half the overhead rate on its academic grants, something that a federal judge recently told the National Institutes of Health it could not do.

Destroying the American research enterprise, bit by bit.
