You may have heard of the amphibian #chytrid fungus
Last year Scheele et al. claimed chytrid caused >500 species declines. Scary!
But it's not true. We tried to reproduce their claims with their own data & methods

2025 in #Science. Publications aren't the most important thing, but they can be a fun record of a year's portfolio. I enjoyed looking back on my studies and reports that came out in 2025. The below figures showcase that diversity of research - all relied on diverse partnerships

Housing or trees? Science says "why not both?" ๐ฒ ๐ก ๐ข ๐ฒ
We need housing. We also need trees. Our new research across western Washington shows that gaining housing at the expense of trees is not inevitable

I know less about football than I do about raptors, so this superbOwl I'm all about those eagles
I cut my teeth in conservation with raptors! Lots of lovely science on birds of prey at Peregrine Fund and Cornell

Love that Olympia's city staff drive vehicles decorated in winter garb and lights across the different neighborhoods each year. Amazing way to celebrate city employees and the holiday season โ๏ธโ๏ธ๐งโ๐๐๐๐๐

So excited to see this paper out. We found that:
โขNon-LGTBQIA scientists overestimate the degree to which LGBTQIA respondents feel included in conservation
โขLGBTQIA scientists feel up to 50% less safe and a lower sense of belonging at work

Today my Senate colleagues voted to make me Chair of the Senate Housing Committee beginning in 2025. As chair, I will continue the fight to lower housing costs, expand our supply of housing, support first-time homebuyers, increase affordable housing & stabilize renters.

I'll be shifting to bluesky. I've already heavily shifted off of this platform and X/Twitter is basically dead.

Well one thingโs for sureโnever give up. Trump knows this all too well. For the rest of us who believe in human rights and democracy, weโre never giving up either. Itโs another long uphill battle but Iโm here for it. I know we can be better than thisโwe will persevere โค๏ธ

Every election I pull out and reread this pocket constitution that I received in Competition Government class in high school many years ago. Lots of emotions and issues at stake this election and the past few before
Time to vote Americans. If you haven't already, get it done

"Pinks have already altered and will continue altering Finnmarkโs habitat... Whatever the outcome, change has already arrived."
Loved this @judeisabella/@hakaimagazine story on the non-native pink salmon transforming Norway's rivers, for both ill & good.

Can we have solar energy while preserving/enhancing farmland & protecting biodiversity?
Can "agrivoltaics" help?
Jazzed to work with American Farmland Trust, Washington State University, & @gcc_wu to study the potential for agrivoltaics in Washington!
