The absolute grip that juggle sticks had on us in 1997
Did you get a permit for this guns
Made a “67” joke in front of my kids that would have absolutely slapped two weeks ago. Got eye rolls instead. Life comes at you fast
Point is I don’t think every study that contributes to solving the biodiversity crisis has to center the crisis itself to find important motivation and to be meaningful. They can center other adjacent problems and be working along the edges in ways that incrementally move us toward better outcomes
To save a dying patient you not only need your surgeon… you need sterile tools, you need vital monitoring, you need specialized lights, you need masks to prevent infection… lots of people working around the edges, making discoveries that are not critical on their own but contribute to the solution
Heading home after a wonderful visit to @umontana.bsky.social. Got to meet with incredible faculty and students and also yapped about disturbance and conservation at the E&E seminar.
No outlets on this plane? It’s okay I’ll write this proposal in my Notes app
Big news
Where will novel fire regimes threaten birds? Our paper in @natcomms.nature.com shows that most bird diversity hotspots facing future high-sev fire occur in places that historically burned at low severity - a critical mismatch. These are the spots to focus restoration.

We truly hate to see it

The war on protein is over. They’ve replaced fluoride in the drinking water with protein. There is protein infused plochman’s yellow mustard. Your contact lens solution is supposed to remove protein build up but now each squirt contains 5g. Prions are considered added protein, CWD is a myth

But Timothée, why do something yourself in 10 minutes when you could do it in 40 minutes but worse and with a heavier computational burden
This morning I solved a little scripting problem in ~ 10 minutes.
ChatGPT failed to solve it after 40 minutes.
Claude failed to solve it in 20 minutes, then tried to convince me that I wanted to solve a different problem.
This is why we don't let LLMs near any @epic-biodiversity.org code.
I think we peaked at windows 95. It’s been downhill since
Incredible leadership and vision by @karinorman.bsky.social on this ambitious paper.

When you are making an in-text numbered list do you write it like
1)… 2)…
or
(1)… (2)…
Bar plots showing how avian hotspots are distributed across predicted low and high severity fire.
We found ~30% of hotspots are expected to burn at high severity, and of those hotspots the majority were historically exposed to predominantly low severity regimes, indicating a significant mismatch between what the resident biodiversity is adapted to and what it may be exposed to in the future.
Really proud of my paper with @ecologyofgavin.bsky.social, @grumpyunclesean.bsky.social, Andrew Stillman, and Courtney Davis out now in @natcomms.nature.com, which looks at the forecasted exposure of bird biodiversity to high severity fire in the western US. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
What
Proof that you are a good academic.
I am hiring a postdoc @ Univ of Iowa. Potential project focuses include flood-risk infrastructure planning, disaster recovery processes and outcomes, insurance program externalities, or uncertainty in climate damage attribution. Please consider applying/sharing! jobs.uiowa.edu/postdoc/view...
Hell yeah
Dayummm girl look at those clumps and gaps
Was just thinking how this year I’ll turn 37, which is awfully close to 40, which you can more or less round up to 50, and so anyway I’m on a mortality-pondering spiral
Wowwww those mugs are 🔥🔥🔥
