Have you wondered how climatic stability impacts species genetic structure & diversity?

Are you interested in how climatic stability can be measured in biologically meaningful ways?

Do you ❤️ the Atlantic Forest of Brazil and it's native palms?

You hear Costco is great. One friend describes it as a 'shopping Disney World'. You start thinking about it. You have some extra cash. You decide to try it out, you'll save that much money in gas anyway! What's the worst that can happen?--

After almost two years of bargaining, CUNY’s faculty and staff union is nearing a deal on a contract. I spent two years as a rep for the union. I cannot vote yes on this contract — which furthers austerity at CUNY and signals to admin that our union is weak and incompetent. 1/

We created new, cheaper, beautiful tree guards for District 33!

We're partnering with @BigReuse to make it less expensive and easier for neighbors to install new tree guards in front of their home.

We're #TalkingTreeBuds! Join The NAC's Melissa in Inwood Hill Park, where she shares secrets to IDing trees by their buds—a particularly handy skill in winter when there are less leaves or fruit on branches. First up is the tulip tree, with a bud that looks like a duck's bill! 🦆

A year without you, Refaat, and I continue to ask myself, “How should I live to tell your story?”
The whole world now knows your tale! The whole world now knows the tale of Palestine.
Long live your soul and memory.

'I saw the sun coming out,' said Frog. 'I saw birds sitting and singing in a tree. I saw my mother and father working in their garden. I saw flowers in the garden.'
