Had lots of fun last week at Stanford, chatting all about the Amazon and sharing lots of tree knowledge!

White House budget proposal could shatter the National Science Foundation β€œThis kind of cut would kill American science and boost China.”…

The US government has been turned over to a group of extraordinarily ignorant people, and they are working to destroy science in this country. Cutting over half the NSF budget would save < 0.1% of the federal budget, but do incalculable harm. Simply heartbreaking.

Me and Andy the Autosampler have had a tumultuous relationship these last 3 years. I’m convinced he knows it’s coming to an end between us because he keeps breaking down on me. The final day of isotope sampling has been 3 days long so far, and counting 😭 Pete the Picarro is looking shifty now too…

5.5m! We use lots of ratchet straps and some pretty skilled field guides. We also tie the person to the tree and add pool noodles for comfort 😊

Reaching new heights in our field site today. We’ve been busy mapping all our trees, ready to return in the flooded season. 4 days down, 9 to go!

What a difference 6 months makes in the floodplains of the Amazon. Tefe lake now and back in May this year at the same spot from our hotel. Another extreme drought, but the waters are rising!
