"...an invasive species is not villainous or stealthy by itself; rather, it benefits from existing vulnerabilities and a lack of diversity in an ecosystem."
Brilliant & nuanced writing by @perfectly_tense on an aspect of invasion biology that most would rather not grapple with.
As part of the quarterly IIHS Library Exhibition, 'Urban Ecology: A New Lens on Biodiversity', we invite you to a webinar exploring how a tree species came to be identified as invasive, and the different meanings this term holds for citizen environmentalists, restoration practitioners, policy-makers, law-makers and bureaucrats.
This study rests on a multispecies ethnography conducted by the speaker over three years in the Delhi Ridge Reserved Forest, as an employee of the state forest department. The story of Vilayati Keekar holds lessons for other cities in India and beyond.

You may fire Professor Kabra, but you cannot extinguish ideas, pedagogy, dreams. You might have made academia inaccessible, but we'll rebuild. You can kill our university, humiliate and hurt us, but we won't stop thinking.

#ExitPolls something unprecedented is happening:
either channel/agencies are horribly wrong in way rarely seen before
OR, BJP's strength was totally underestimated
OR, dare we say it, unheard level of tampering has taken place (expect spontaneous street violence if true)
we will know on 4 June for sure- one way or another.
@ahlamatra I have been feeling so disappointed in Guy Winch, Lori Gottlieb and Esther Perel. The whole therapy space seems to be corrupted in my eyes. Gabor Mate is the only one looking clearly
