The real risk isn’t failure; it’s delay! Mislabeling NCS as “too risky” stalls investment when we need action most. Thrilled to learn from Susan Cook-Patton & others at NatureHub thanks to @nature_org @Nature4Climate @ConservationOrg @EnvDefenseFund @AmForestFndn. #NYCW #climate

After 7 long years, the remaining 4 #IranianEnvironmentalists are announced for release. While we celebrate such wonderful news, our hearts remain heavy as we remember the loss of Kavous Seyed-Emami, one of the 9 arrestees, who tragically passed away in custody. #HopeForChange

[Inger Andersen @andersen_inger]

I welcome the announcement of the release of 4 environmental conservationists - including our former @UNEP colleague #NiloufarBayani - who have been imprisoned in Iran.

Environmental stewardship is critical to protect people and planet.

Quite enjoyed the crash course by @sandersoil on MMRV at #AGU2023

[Negar Tafti, PhD 🌱 @NegarTafti]

A great reminder from Stephen Pyne’s remarks about fire and humanity :“All models are wrong, but some are useful”! #AGU2023 #AGU23 #fire #Ecology

Thrilled for #AGU2023 in San Francisco this week! Meeting longtime research partners for the first time, catching up with colleagues & friends. Around? Let's chat! Excited to learn about your work & explore collaborations!

#WomenInSTEM, how often do you choose to learn new subjects that are not directly in line with your field of expertise? How often the fear of failure prevents you from learning new subjects? #WomenInScience #learninganddevelopment

As a woman & academic, whose undergraduate school is under attack, I can’t post about #WomenInSTEM
#WomenWhoCode
#AcademicChatter
without asking #AcademicTwitter to support #SharifUniversity students who are terrorized & have no voice. I ask #Academic community to be their voice.

[Negar Tafti, PhD 🌱 @NegarTafti]

My alma mater, #SharifUniversity of Technology under siege.Reports of students being beaten & shot at. At least 40 students have been arrested & taken to undisclosed locations. Why aren’t the news outlets covering this? @BBCWorld @nytimes @maddow @NBCNews @washingtonpost

[Firouz M. Naderi @Firouz_Naderi]

Can you imagine the US government sending armed guerrilla forces to Boston to surround Harvard and MIT and start killing students? Well, that is exactly what is going on in Tehran, Iran as I tweet this. The world media seems to be deaf and blind!!

@RobertCMahon Curious about option A here. Do you understand the writings on this beautiful Toreutics (I assume it is silver?)

[Negar Tafti, PhD 🌱 @NegarTafti]

When I joined industry, I was anxious. It took me a while to find my place. But I appreciate the accountability and competition that I’ve experienced. I also very much enjoy the fact that my research/work has real-time universal benefits. (4/4)

[Negar Tafti, PhD 🌱 @NegarTafti]

Working in the industry has been an intense learning opportunity for me. I’ve improved my programming skills and constantly challenged myself with learning new concepts. (1/4) #WomenInSTEM #WomenInScience #WomenWhoCode #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter

The transformation was not easy for me. I loved the cozy and comfortable cocoon I was in (a.k.a university’s welcoming atmosphere). (3/4)

[Negar Tafti, PhD 🌱 @NegarTafti]

I didn’t know it until this very moment!
This is brilliant and I love it!
Cheers to all of us, women scientists, wherever we are!
Keep being amazing!
To all those “men of science”, thank you for your support!

Did you know that the word “scientist” was created for a woman?

BREAKING: White House issues new policy that will require, by 2026, all federally-funded research results to be freely available to public without delay, ending longstanding ability of journals to paywall results for up to 1 year. Coverage coming on @ScienceInsider.

[Negar Tafti, PhD 🌱 @NegarTafti]

My advisor used to tell me “tell a story” and “read Dr. X’s papers. They are written beautifully, like a good story one wants to follow to the end”.
The visual effect definitely helps to comprehend the importance of learning the story telling skills. #AcademicChatter #phdchat

Again! I’m asking myself, what I’d do if I had $20 billion to spend on promoting #CarbonSequestration and bringing #SustainableAgriculture to scale?

[Jonathan Sanderman @sandersoil]

Can farmers fight climate change? New U.S. law gives them billions to try https://t.co/bDphkV9WTd

[Extreme Temperatures Around The World @extremetemps]

IRIMO (Iran Meteorological Organization) just verified and officialized the 53.6C recorded at Shush on 9 August. This would be the highest temperature ever recorded in Asia in August and one of the highest worldwide in history.

Today marks a historic win for the environment! 🎉 https://t.co/yNql4aQLhh
