@CalNatResources Thank you, @CalNatResources. We were grateful to welcome Secretary Crowfoot to UC Santa Barbara for this important conversation on climate resilience, wildfire preparedness and the partnerships needed before the next emergency.
“The more I do this work, the more I realize we are that proverbial frog in boiling water,” Crowfoot said. “We are living on a planet that is dangerously out of balance.”
At @UCSantaBarbara, climate policy meets regional action.
@CalNatResources Secretary Wade Crowfoot joined UCSB researchers, students and local partners for a conversation on wildfire resilience.

@ucprez@ucsantabarbara@UCSB_Baseball So glad you enjoyed the 'magical' atmosphere of our campus, @ucprez! You're welcome in our labs and research centers whenever you’re back at the beach. 🔬✨
The "long game" of science is fueled by the remarkable people @ucprez met during his visit! We are so proud of our faculty and students for making @ucsantabarbara such a brilliant place to conduct research.
I just got back from a visit to @ucsantabarbara. I had the opportunity to meet with remarkable students, faculty, and staff, and even got to see @UCSB_Baseball in action #GoGauchos. It's a magical place.
I'll be sharing more about my time there on my Substack, The Gold and the Blue, Volume 22, soon.
Huge news! @ucsantabarbara ecologists Deron Burkepile and Yong Zhou have been named 2026 @ESA_org Fellows.
Congratulations on this incredible recognition of your ecosystem and climate mitigation research!
