I was part of this program in 2023 and would highly recommend it for anyone interested in remote sensing and ecology. Happy to chat about it too if you want more info!
Applications are open for the Spectral Ecology Summer School (www.specschool.org) a program introducing graduate students and postdocs to hyperspectral and lidar remote sensing using NEON data. This year's application and info is here: forms.gle/ohkeGYvmGQ9C... Applications close December 23, 2025.

I just want everyone to have the experience of living in dignity with access to sufficient food, safe housing, needed medical care, high quality education, and time to engage with what sparks their curiosity and spirit

this should not be controversial 🫠

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Voters across the country have chosen freedom over fascism - and sent a critical blow to this regime of the bullies, for the billionaires.
May these wins strengthen our resolve, power our resistance, and turbo charge our defiance.
Voters tonight said fuck this fascist shit. With Mamdani, they showed incredible courage to believe in change and a better future.

The work doesn’t end here, but everything begins with courage and if we are going to get out of this mess it’s going to take courage to believe in better.

Zohran Mamdani wins!

He ran on an unabashedly pro-transgender platform, stood up for the most vulnerable, as so many have pushed for the Democratic Party to abandon trans people in order to win.

Major win for trans New Yorkers - he has vowed for intense resistance to anti-trans Trump policies.

I wanted to offer some thoughts on the Gates climate memo that has been circulating this week. While I can't directly speak for others, I can say that my own response is one of dismay & deep frustration (and that this view is shared by many climate/Earth scientists). [1/n]

Universities. Rural hospitals. Tech companies. Several sectors are going to be profoundly hurt by this. Not to mention the chaos of the moment as current H1-B owners scramble to get back to the U.S., cancel travel, etc. due to the uncertainty. An absolute mess. As intended.

The International Court of Justice said countries must protect people from climate change, an urgent, existential threat. Failure to act is an internationally wrongful act; environmental protection is key to human rights. Though non-binding, the opinion could impact global climate cases and talks.
