@Christy_SpaceHW Wonderful chatting with you today! Thank you for your engaging talk and for discussing common interests with students in our group!

Our paper on forest canopy temperature is out in PNAS today! Forest canopies can get much warmer than air temperature, and as air temperatures increase it gets worse, with troubling implications for forest carbon uptake: https://t.co/uO3YAEHQVS

Deemed fit for reforestation owing to traditional perceptions, savannahs have an ecosystem of their own, and Prof. Mahesh Sankaran, Infosys Prize 2021 laureate in Life Sciences, has devoted his research to the cause of savannahs in India. @NCBS_Bangalore https://t.co/Qeu878FYBP

Following decades of sexual harassment and abuse at @stri_panama, my fellow women scientists & I are demanding widespread policy reforms at @smithsonian from @POTUS and the @WhiteHouseGPC. Please consider signing our letter in support of https://t.co/McqEsSOo7q @LauraLDunnEsq

@_LeMoog_ @macgupta123 @GlobalEcoGuy @PaulDJohnston Unfortunately, this group has produced maps that do target these areas.

@GlobalEcoGuy Tree planting is a major disturbance that has a net warming effect in boreal habitats and risks grassland and savanna biodiversity. Aside from the massive overinflated benefits, a significant portion of the global tree "restoration" would do vastly more harm than good.

[Daniel Griffith @griffithdan]

@_LeMoog_ @macgupta123 @GlobalEcoGuy @PaulDJohnston Tree planting can be massively damaging to many natural ecosystems where it is planned. This is especially true for boreal regions where tree planting has a net warming effect and savannas where biodiversity and stored carbon are disturbed.

The best way to beat climate change, in theory, is simple. Plant a trillion trees. But in reality, it's not that simple. https://t.co/lK7hHJohJM

Who doesn’t want to stop climate change? Pretty much everyone except the US government agrees on that. But we're not going to stop climate change with just seedlings and fancy agriculture. We also need to reduce emissions. https://t.co/8XbMM4zOkl

Imagining that humans planting billions of trees can repair the biosphere, is akin to believing ten billion typewriter-weilding monkeys can replace lost classics after arsonists burn libraries stocking the last great books on the planet #IPBES #DIVERSITY https://t.co/GKJa72oK17

@kxlldiego @stavercarla @edyong209 @jetjocko A significant portion of their estimated carbon drawdown comes from ecosystems where planting trees will actually have a net warming effect, e.g., boreal regions, or where tree planting will disturb natural biodiversity and carbon stores, e.g., grasslands and savannas.

@lila_leatherman So glad to hear you made the right choice for you! Frances and I support you in whatever your next steps are.

[Daniel Griffith @griffithdan]

@stephanie_pau @BHelliker @R_C_OConnor No problem! So excited for this work!

[Daniel Griffith @griffithdan]

@BHelliker @stephanie_pau @R_C_OConnor I heard about your tweet game word-of-mouth. I barely know how to use this thing.

[Ecological Society @ESA_org]

ESA joined with other societies over the past 1.5 years to oppose visa restrictions and continues to do so. The NAS had a IVO program to serve as a resource on visa-related issues for scientists coming to the US.

[Daniel Griffith @griffithdan]

@FoggyIdeas and @k8mcculloh taught me how to tweet at #PhysFest2. Just one of many great things I learned this week!
