@SenJohnBarrasso At a minimum you have been complicit in this but more likely you have actively enabled this. What exactly do you expect when you don't denounce the ravings of Trump that this election is not valid?

[Dan Tekiela @DanT3K]

@WyoWeeds I'm mad

Reading about communicating sci from Smith&Merkle in the ESA bulletin. They point to the term positive feedback loop as problematic due to the connotation of "positive". I continually fail my students in getting them understand positive≠good let alone the public...

Trying to get into the Forest Service internal system, setting up my password... Well done feds... well done...

@EwEdmiston @WyoWeeds I see them fairly frequently in riparian areas but never more then a few individuals.

@EwEdmiston @WyoWeeds Looks like a boxelder to me.

Preping some "plant" communities to learn about common community metrics.

This seems to be the most reasonable way to determine the true mortality rate of COVID-19 assuming there are no other unique factors to consider this year.

@KTInvasion After years of being hammered with requests and overloaded with reviews I finally have started to turn down the majority of reviews for my own sanity. It's one of my first transitions to getting used to saying "no".

[Dan Tekiela @DanT3K]

This is also my formal contact with my supervisor @WyoWeeds that I am not coming into the office. I'll see you virtually (or not depending on zoom's mood) this pm.

[Dan Tekiela @DanT3K]

I have a feeling pretty much anyone who has any sensitivity to the smoke that we have been experiencing for over a week will be told to not come to campus...

[Dan Tekiela @DanT3K]

@WyoWeeds I appreciate the lack of any certainty. It might go GREAT for your first day... It might also not work at all.

[Dan Tekiela @DanT3K]

Tatooine sunset or laramie sunrise. You decide.

[Dan Tekiela @DanT3K]

@LynnSosnoskie Well technically in my case no. Just the promise of one.

[Dan Tekiela @DanT3K]

I received my university covid "care package" today and it did not include a mask. Well done.

[Dr. David Coyle @drdavecoyle]

Don't tell me how to live my life.

[Dan Tekiela @DanT3K]

Can't wait for this at UW! /s

[The Daily Tar Heel @dailytarheel]

The decision comes after the University's COVID-19 positivity rate rose from 2.8 percent to 13.6 percent last week.

Mark Davis terms it "gang science" when a group of established scientists respond to a new idea with a strong but not well supported counter voice. I experienced this early in my career in response to my first big pub. It really turned me off to the competitive academic world.

Bought a ring light for lighting for my class this year... It is certainly a different year
