You know lifestyle choices for climate but what about for biodiversity?? We’ve prioritised 10 easy things you can do today that could make a huge difference if we all took them up @Biodivcouncil @ICON_Science @HugePossum @M_Selinske

Our new article in Landscape Ecology (in which I get to be senior author!). A new fractal index to classify forest fragmentation and disorder. Extensively tested, and applied to real data. link.springer.com/article/10…

And that’s a wrap on #NCA5 all-author meeting in DC! Great to meet colleagues in person finally after 18 months of Teams calls and emails. Chapter 8 ecosystems is the bestest chapter team ever ❤️ @GyamiPhD @EcoGreenQueen @mhunsicker33 @ProfAbigailYork @Jen_Costanza
Is sprawling urban growth or compact development better for biodiversity and other ecological outcomes? We reviewed the science, and evidence to date is mixed. Our paper offers suggestions for studies that can fully test alternative urban configurations.

After reviewing the announced 2022-23 stipends for bioscience and humanities/social science Ph.D. programs at twelve institutions, we found that only TWO universities, Princeton and Brown, pay more than the local cost of living. Public universities pay even less. 2/x

Excited to see the wildfire projections done by colleagues and I informing this wildfire management strategy!
Many communities along the forest's edge are vulnerable to wildfire. @usfs_srs research found the wildfire area burned is expected to more than triple in the next 80 years. That’s why we’ve created a new wildfire crisis strategy. fs.usda.gov/features/fightin… 📷 Angela Coleman/USFS

Proud to have contributed science to this fiscal risk analysis for the White House OMB.
We projected wildfire area to more than triple, and federal fire suppression spending to increase by $1.6 billion by 2100.
Dr. Jen Costanza retweeted
The analyses also found that the Federal Government could spend up to $128 billion annually on just six types of Federal expenditure:
- coastal disaster relief
- flood insurance
- crop insurance
- healthcare insurance
- wildland fire suppression
- flooding at Federal facilities
