This pride month, I'm extra proud of my partner wh is running 102KM to raise funds for Rainbow NZ. If you've got a dollar or two, please support her! https://t.co/ThUwUE8TY0

@FelixJBerrios Cool! I'm a queer ecologist / forest pathologist from New Zealand working on a phytophthora disease here!

Lovely spotting this #EasterEgg out on my walk today! So proud of our PM @jacindaardern for keeping the aroha and community spirit going with this idea.

@IceNine @KiwiFarah We have a CIRAS, but actually we ended up only using a porometer this time (so photosynthesis isn't quite right, we ended up measuring gas exchange and leaf water potential only). Gross about Li-cor if true though 😔

@stho002 @KiwiFarah @LoraxCate Hi @stho002, I'm not the best person to ask this as I haven't worked on track closures. Happy to take questions regarding my research though!

His review of the #MeToo movement downplays the impact and reality of rape culture.. Not sure why he is being interviewed on a government-funded radio station

Murray claims that women "shaking their backsides" in front of men, and not expecting to be touched, is unfair and problematic

@LoraxCate @nzecology Something like:

- Genderqueer/Non-Binary
- Prefer not to disclose

Rosie Bradshaw from @scion_research explains how effector proteins might trigger defence mechanisms in Phytophthora agrhidicida infected kauri #KauriDieback @iufro2019

Stats show that #WomenInForestry are over-represented in low paid positions, and under-represented in well paid roles. Increasing # of women great, but not when exploited as cheap labour

[Sarah Kim 🏳️‍🌈 @Im_Sarah_Kim]

#WomenInForestry at #iufro2019 remind us to check the underlying reasons before celebrating increasing employment of women in the forest sector.

As tree species richness increases, so does total environmental carbon and seedling survivorship. #TheMotherTree

[Sarah Kim 🏳️‍🌈 @Im_Sarah_Kim]

Dr Suzanne Simard discusses the sharing of carbon and defense signs between forest trees - even of different species - and how fungal mycorrhizae facilitates this #iufro2019

Older trees are important in these networks, sharing more connections with surrounding trees.

Isotope analysis can be used to estimate timber origin: potentially an important tool for identifying illegally logged trees from protected areas #iufro2019 (Kagawa & Leavitt 2010)
