Conservation isn’t really about wildlife or trees or science. It’s about people and cultural values. The power is yours! #MyOneScienceTweet

Facing stress and struggles? A reminder that plant carnivory evolved independently at least a dozen times in response to environmental challenges. Difficult problems can lead to innovation and great beauty. Be the sundew.

Crews have nearly finished dismantling the last of four dams on the Klamath River. In mid-August, I saw excavators carving away at remnants of two dams — Iron Gate and Copco No. 1. Soon workers will clear channels, reestablishing a free-flowing stretch of the river.

Longest run in a decade! I’m training to #runforareason in the PGH marathon in support of the children’s hospital. To find out why I’m going through this intentional misery, and maybe throw a few bucks to a great cause, visit my donation page! raceroster.com/events/2024/7…
