Jorge Ramos, PhD

Thank you, gracias!

Exciting updates from our community involved in new research, youth campouts with Muwema Ohlone youth, AI courses in the field and an adventure with an invasive teasel at 'Ootchamin 'Ooyakma!

Omg nooooooo! The worst is when they ask this question while we are out hiking! Like, really? You expect me to answer a question like that in front of all of these other plants?!?! Porfavor!

Great article summarizing on history of remote sensing, aerial imagery at Jasper Ridge and current applications by students, researchers and staff! Check out the pigeons historical picture!

Aerial imagery supports pioneering research at Jasper Ridge Whether captured with planes, drones, or satellites, staff and researchers at Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve (‘Ootchamin ‘Ooyakma) have long relied on aerial imagery to enhance their understanding o...

Jorge Ramos, trained as an ecosystem ecologist / carbon scientist. Now executive director of @stanfordjrbp.bsky.social where I lead with our team many research, education & community stewardship activities in our field station/preserve. Also a member of SACNAS, ESA/SEEDS, Latino Outdoors & OBFS!

I am so happy this was obvious at #ESA2025 as well with the support from the community and @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social :-)

Ahhh good to hear!

Thanks for the info! Hope you and your friend recover quickly. I just got a test from Walgreens (wow they are expensive!) and results are negative. Will continue to monitor.

Bee flying towards flower

Captured a great picture of a bee flying towards a Chicory (Cichorium intybus) flower. An invasive species found on disturbed areas. Did you know that the whole plant is edible, and it is often mixed with coffee! #ESA2025

10th year anniversary of the ESA EJ Crosstown Walk with the magnificent Charlie Nilon! During #ESA2025 we walked around West Baltimore, Sequoia & Powhatan Ave, Hanlon Park, Ashburton & S. Powhatan Ave. We learned about invasive species, redevelopment, gentrification, & #environmentaljustice!

Jasper, what a great name ;-) another great name: Ridge

Naupaka speaking at ESA

Really inspiring morning at #ESA2025 with a welcome by @phytobio.me inviting us to think about "Laulima" from the Hawaiian culture which translates to "many hands working together". Encouraging ESA community to collaborate, be kind, work as a team, support each other.

Excited to meet the new cohort of SEEDS students during #ESA2025! Now more than ever remember to support programs like SEEDS! Stop by some of the related events, share them with other interested students & early career folks! Donate to SEEDS here: esa.org/giving/gener...

Thank you!

@tracey.science and Jalene, strongly agree, I was disappointed to read this message from @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social as well. They should do better.

I strongly recommend #ESA2025 @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social to post their updates equally across all platforms. You are bringing the society together, don’t alienate us across platforms. Bring us together everywhere. Theme of the meeting! Many of us stopped using, not comfortable w “other X site”.

Ohhhh great suggestions!
