How can we prepare for shocks? A good start is by collecting data on past events.

Centre researcher Emmy Wassénius leads the project Shock Tracker the first prototype of a united database of social-ecological shocks.

Someone lives in the real tree! It's full of walnuts that squirrels were snacking on.

This is like an ad for why tech can't replicate nature. From my local park, we're in a drought, and it's still nice and shady under the real tree...

I crunched the numbers on my not-very-scientific survey of why people don't plant native plants.

210 people answered this Q. I read through the comments & categorized concerns into 10 categories.

Most common reasons were
1) Lack of Knowledge
2) No Time
3) Money
4) No good source for native plants

a bar graph of the 10 most common reasons that people don't plant native plants. 25% of the respondents said a lack of knowledge about what to plant was a problem, then 18% said no time, 17% said no money, 15% said no plant availability near them, 14% said HOAs or Landlords got in the way, 12% were afraid of failing, 10% said their health made it hard to plant stuff, 8 said they had no land, 7% said native plants are ugly, 5% said that animals eat the native plants, 3% said they only had limited space and chose to plant food for them instead of native plants, 3% said they couldn't get invasive species under control, and 3% said their ADHD gets in the way of completing projects

Can we expand the narrative and definition of human development to include flourishing with nature? Our new paper in Nature explores such a vision, and outlines a metric - the Nature Relationship Index - to sit alongside the Human Development Index.

Its proposed process for projects deemed “in the national interest” would directly undermine environmental protections and threaten Indigenous rights, while shutting down democratic decision-making. ⚠️

Work weeks like last one are a dream. As part of the Beijer Institute's Young Scholar Program, I got to meet with brilliant scholars from around the world working on theories, models and cases to better understand, prevent and adapt to shocks in an increasingly turbulent world.

A sweet lil memory at least 😅 Actually Katja and I were chatting today about trees and seasons and it reminded me of when you and I posted Fall colour updates on Twitter, we should start that back up for spring! 😊

In Québec this week for the @nserc-resnet.bsky.social AGM, which will be later this week at a true beauty of a spot in Jouvence, QC.

Leading up to that, I'm meeting with lovely friends & coworkers to prep for workshops, writing retreats, and presentations 🥰

Join the launch of the SocSES Early-Career Hub 🎉

The EC Hub team will host an interactive session to introduce the Hub and facilitate a collaborative session to co-create this exciting new space.

🗓️ Tuesday, 29 April 2025
⌚ 6pm CAT / 12pm EDT
📍 Online (Zoom)
🔗 Register: tinyurl.com/SocSES-EC-Hu...

We invite you to join the SocSES Early-Career Hub for their official launch on Tuesday, 29 April 2005, by registering here. The EC Hub’s “kickstarter” team will be hosting a fun and interactive session to share information about the Hub and facilitate a collaborative brainstorming session to help shape this exciting new space.

Some quick FAQs:

What is the EC Hub? It is an inclusive and interactive space within SocSES for Early-Career Professionals working in Social-Ecological Systems research and practice, including researchers, practitioners, Indigenous Knowledge Holders, community organizers, government actors, politicians, and more.

Am I early-career? As SES is a relatively new and growing field of inter-/transdisciplinary work, we invite anyone who self-identifies as being in the "early-career" stages of any SES related work to join us, no matter your age.
