I’m expecting this to be my last Tweet, at least for a while. If you’ve followed me here, find me on LinkedIn or Facebook instead. Using Twitter lately feels like an endorsement of Musk, and I’d rather not.

Before everyone leaves this platform…I’m excited that my trip is finally “confirmed” and I’ll be joining #ICFFR in person in just 10 days! Hope to see you there.

Hi friends and followers, I would really appreciate help getting this outreach to potential candidates. Outreach period closes at the end of this month for a permanent GS-12 position!

Hiring news! I anticipate hiring a Program Analyst to assist with the Fire and Smoke Model Evaluation Experiment (FASMEE). Please share among your networks to help us reach a talented and diverse group of applicants! Outreach closes 10/30:

@samlfox25 That’s pathetic…but if you can manage, think of the bright side: the committee saved you the trouble of finding out that their department would be a frustrating place to find yourself. Keep looking and you’ll find the right gig!

@TribbleTweets Check out the TREE grants from the Association for Fire Ecology! That’s one great and underutilized source of support for undergrads and grads to attend conferences, get training, etc.

@GuillermoRein I think it was 2012 but yes! Hard to believe it has been a decade and I can’t wait to catch up.

I've been capturing video from this webcam in Fort Myers all day and I've put it into a Timelapse. Check out the storm surge rushing in! Crazy. #Ian #flwx

@kcc_carroll @NMSUVPR @EnvSciTech @NMSUaes @nmsu_aces @nmsu @NMSUResearch @uarizonaenvs Nice work! Just saw the new SERDP RFP and hope you have noted it…

ICYMI, while the last 20 years have seen increasing wildland 🔥fire activity, this year has been a little different for the PNW.

This year we’ve seen 61 fires totaling 469,388 acres. This is nearly a 70 percent drop from 2021 where we saw 84 fires comprising 1,503,027 acres.

[Northwest Interagency Coordination Center @NWCCInfo]

As of Saturday morning here's the location of the 14 active large 🔥 fires and complexes in the Pacific Northwest -- 5 in Oregon and 9 in Washington!

Wildland Firefighters regularly take exposure risks to protect our lives and property. Addressing one occupational risk for them would help to show our thanks.

I believe we can end cancer as we know it and even cure cancers once and for all.

[M. D. Therrell @Dendrodoc]

Hello #dendro folks. I have a funded research position for an interested PhD student. Position is not tied to any of our funded work so student research focus could be most anything tree-ring related.
Thanks!

I’ve had a long-running desire to learn better negotiation skills and spread them among my network. These points are great advice, and several have helped me.

[Jasper Polak @polak_jasper]

To get what you deserve, you'll need to negotiate.

But most people have no clue how to do it.

Not really a science post, this video shows some of the critical work aircrews do when fire suppression is needed. And, everyone likes to watch airplanes.

Great opportunity for a Tribal Relations Specialist with the USFS PNW Research Station:

My partner just referred to my work laptop as my “Agro-computer” and that was when I realized how well she understands my job.

The most important thing you should know about fire science today is that this country should do more to prevent gun massacres of children, people of color, and everyone else.
