In 2025, nearly half of all books that got read in the US were read by people who read 50 books+ (HT @drkatemarvel.bsky.social)
This inspired my new year's resolution to be in that group, and read at least 50 books this year.
10 books in, learning fascinating history, still time to join! #booksky

Moss covered rocks, fallen tree trunk and still standing birch tree. In the background are many trees and holly shrubs sloping downward from left to right. From the Angidy River, not far from the Wye Valley.
Moss in the forest to bring you a moment of tranquility.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Great to hear, Claire! Would love to see you there. Sounds like you missed the earlier ones. They are all archived on the website. Feel free to scan and watch your favorite talks.

Does discharge Q drive chemistry C in intermittent streams?
No. They depend more on dry-wet transitions
Highly variable CQ at low Q change to consistent CQ at high Q, signalling a switch from a biogeochemistry-driven dry to flow-driven wet state

~ 7% global forests is plantation (young)
Young (Y) vs Old forests (O):
How do water + carbon (C) processes belowground differ?
Y: less streamflow & deep gw %
O: higher DOC + DIC; deep roots
Y&O: can have contrasting DOC CQ; consistent DIC dilution

Please repost! The LOC Lab @UCSB is recruiting a #PostdoctoralScholar in forest ecology and data science to
develop data-driven models of forest resilience to compound disturbances (e.g., fire, drought, insects). 🌱🍁🌏🧪🌐

Qianjiadong Reservoir in southern Hunan, China, produces a double harvest: solar energy and yellow carp. The solar farm produces up to 80 megawatts of power while the fish forage beneath the panels. With a massive scale-up of solar and wind at home and cheap exports of the technology, China is driving a worldwide surge of renewable energy—Science’s 2025 Breakthrough of the Year.
Science has named the seemingly unstoppable growth of renewable energy worldwide as the 2025 Breakthrough of the Year.
