@michael_gundale @stefhupperts @zsofia_stangl Hello Michael and Zsofia. I how you are both doing well!!

@UWMadison @UWMadisonCALS @NSF @ESA_org @ChemEcol_org What's next? Many manuscripts to submit. But also plan to increase my speaking and writing outreach to public and faith-based communities about #climatechange #sciencecommunication #sciencedenialism #environmentalstewardship #biodiversity

We really enjoyed working with Ken on this project. Hope we can get more NSF funding to continue it. Genetic Mapping of Sexually Dimorphic Volatile and Non-volatile Floral Secondary Chemistry of a Dioecious Willow https://t.co/MdEH4QL2pV

Nisa Karimi and coauthors show that baobabs in South Africa are pollinated by hawkmoths rather than bats and have odors that attract hawkmoths. Selection for mixed pollination? Or an ongoing evolutionary transition? Or? @keefoverring @baobabbaum https://t.co/khYqrid2wX

That was me this morning.

If you ever see someone drinking out of a normal coffee mug in their car, you know their life is in shambles.

Excited to launch a new @UWMadison grad seminar course this week: “Science literacy, science denialism, and science communication in a post-truth world”!! #ScienceDenialism #ScienceCommunication #PostTruth @LeeCMcIntyre #ClimateCrisis #FakeNews

[Rick Lindroth @RickLindroth]

Our @PNAS paper addressing how growth-defense tradeoffs shape genetic structure of aspen populations is now online! Kudos to @ocopeo for leading this effort, with assistance from @keefoverring and E Kruger. https://t.co/FIIHYgH0Yl #NSFFunded #UWMadison #ChemicalEcology #aspen

2020 saw the 3 largest wildfires in CO history. The @NSF has awarded Prof Rebecca Barnes and collaborators $844,435 to study soil after wildfires. Prof Corey Hutchins and @JournalismatCC will also develop a wildfire-focused journalism class as part of the grant.

Congrats Becca!!

Finally started putting Tyler Wintermute's @tylersummerloud Populus heterophylla (swamp cottonwood) garden in the ground (no, that is not a swap).

[Ken Keefover-Ring @keefoverring]

Please join we in congratulating Linh Nguyen with the successful defense of her masters thesis, entitled: Chemical Ecology of the Salicaceae and Implications for the Evolution and Maintenance of Dioecy!!

Congratulations Linh!!!!!
