attempted to be a hydrologist for 1 day. phone immediately succumbed to leaky waders. I have retreated to dry ground.
asking the twitter-verse for recs for good fieldwork phones? required specs = waterproof/resistant, good camera, decent gps, good batterylife
Calling Alaskan artists & illustrators: A Toolik ecologist (not on twitter) is looking to collaborate on a children's book about a year in the life of an Arctic vole. Animal & tundra imagery abounds!
Reach out if you'd like to learn more & we'll get you in contact.

Job advertisement: Do you want to spend the summer as a field assistant in a unique remote high-Arctic environment? AU is hiring field assistants for vegetation surveys at Zackenberg Research Station, Northeastern Greenland see: https://t.co/BcdvkPrqrQ
Translational science is time consuming and the rewards aren’t always clear. But the past few weeks have shown the positive outcomes of the #invasivespecies and #climatechange work done and applied by the @riscc_network. Some examples I’m psyched about 🧵:

How will climate change affect the dynamics of plant pathogen epidemics? Along with an all-star team of @Princeton / @RMBLGothic undergrads, I used the flax rust model system and semi-mechanistic models to investigate this question. https://t.co/mxcYNiv2V3
Princeton EEB has opened a search for *multiple* faculty positions in Evolutionary Biology - we anticipate hiring at the assistant professor level but exceptional candidates at a more senior level encouraged to apply https://t.co/GkGQeuUKc2
What future for fungal plant pathogens under climate change? - @ianfmiller1 and a huge team of Princeton undergraduates collected vast amounts of field data to pull together a window onto this question: https://t.co/V0ggiGxZkg funded by @PrincetonEnviro
Aaaand, that’s a wrap. Great field season w/ @madison_lichak at the incredible @SANParksAENP. 75 elephant biopsies in 2 weeks! Monumental feat, but we pulled it off. She’s got one epic dissertation ahead of her. Good stuff. #shesgotskills
Our paper is out in @Ecology_Letters : "Integrating eco-evolutionary dynamics and modern coexistence theory" with @GibbsTheo and Jonathan Levine https://t.co/vmSdvjRGIz
Does anyone have recommendations for non-plastic, biodegradable, or at least VERY DURABLE pin flags? (normal ones get totally shredded after one winter + ground squirrels) I'm on a quest to avoid adding more microplastics to the Arctic tundra!
@RobbieMallett I'm sure @sbiom (https://t.co/HsqUku0t5m) would be great! except I think he's on the Pacific Crest Trail for the next couple months, so it would depend on timing of this trip...
