I'll be chatting about the effect of salinity on brackish wetland GPP for #AGU2020! Come say hi and take a gander at my poster from 9-11am PST tomorrow!

I don’t know how people can go on thinking that a state force that is willing to shoot at medical professionals is a force that can be reformed or rescued. That even deserves to exist.

@matthesecolab @Wellesley Thanks so much Jackie! So great to see this in print.

Should I use dplython? ... How about I just install R into python 😂

[Sarah Russell @Sarah_J_Russell]

Trying to learn python after using tidyverse is like using matches all your life and then being expected to light a fire using two rocks. Like I just want to light a fire, sir, why are you making this difficult?

[Sarah Russell @Sarah_J_Russell]

Why are we using loops for a simple recode?? Why are we defining our own functions for menial tasks?? Why???

@laraj66 Having the same happy discovery up here in Vancouver!

BREAKING: RCMP are at the barricade on the bridge. Voice from the #Wetsuweten side: “Tell me how this is different than 150 years ago, when you first came here? This is no different!” #cdnpoli #bcpoli #WetsuwetenStrong

A coyote and a badger use a culvert as a wildlife crossing to pass under a busy California highway together. Coyotes and badgers are known to hunt together.

A group of students ended a 100-hour hunger strike Friday after the University of British Columbia assured them it will fully divest its $1.7 billion endowment fund of fossil fuel investments. https://t.co/kuBaQcmlcg

Realizing how many times I would have had to give up on academia and get a more stable job if it weren’t for the occasional safety nets my parents provide me is a sobering reminder of how inaccessible the lifestyle is to many people and how much science suffers by excluding them.

Nice, I was looking for lunch ideas for when I'm out in Burns Bog this term. https://t.co/Y3InjcfHCS

[Sarah Russell @Sarah_J_Russell]

"The original motivations behind the creation of bog butter are unclear. One widespread theory is that food products were buried in bogs to hinder spoilage. Peat bogs, being low temperature, low oxygen, highly acidic environments, have excellent preservative properties."

@full_o_fulmars @bridavia @a_sharp6 An emeritus faculty at Wellesley was Holmes' grad student back in HB's youth. We've been fortunate to hire another PI with a connection to HB as well.

[Sarah Russell @Sarah_J_Russell]

@a_sharp6 This is pretty much how academia works too. Big names help out their friends. Early disadvantages persist throughout the rest of a scientist's career.

[Sarah Russell @Sarah_J_Russell]

@a_sharp6 It's been practically that for HB veg crew as long as I can remember... I feel like decisions like this come from an insular community of PIs that have outsized influence on HB.
