I'm at my first #eval2022 conference! Inspiring to be at a session on Day 1 led by @minma_ and with colleagues from @EvalBoston on data disaggregation and racial equity. Full house!

Thanks @bu_urban! I'm excited to start a new position with MXM Research Group and @minma_ and sad to depart from such an excellent community at BU.

Looking forward to supporting the transition between now and October!

Important work happening at @UMassGeo, implementing #holisticadmissions! The articulation of process, inclusion of student expertise, and attention to what makes the geosciences unique is inspiring and helpful. A must read for anyone in #highered #nsfnrt

What can we do to nurture Boston's urban forest? Follow the lead of @Trees_Boston & Boston Urban Forest Friends! I had a great time participating in BUFF's first ever symposium, representing @bu_urban and sharing research from @k_atherton1 @jlwright168 Sean Mueller & @this_raquel

Human health, environmental health, and animal health are inextricably linked! #OneHealth! Great to see such interdisciplinary research from a @bu_urban trainee!!!

PhD Defense for #NSFNRT Trainee Tara Miller @BU_Biology kicking off with a land acknowledgement. We'll be hearing about climate change, phenological mismatch, and #OneHealth!

Takeaway #3. It's a tough world for the rabbits and hawks and wildlife in general. Studying threats from climate change and toxins (lead, pesticides) can help wildlife rehabilitators care for animals and prepare for an uncertain future.

Check out this insightful 🧵 from @k_atherton1 about our @bu_urban adventure in Washington DC! Planning this trip w/ @BUFederal was quite humbling and I'm eager to see how our #NSFNRT PhD students leverage their new connections and energy to make a difference with their research!

[Kathryn Atherton @k_atherton1]

Last week, I had the privilege of visiting Washington DC with @bu_urban and @BUFederal to learn how I can blend my research on #urbantrees and #soilmicrobes in the @jennymbhatnagar lab with #FederalPolicy. Here are the lessons I've taken away from the trip 🧵: 1/8

[Evan Kuras @eco_RK]
