Just back from #IPBES11. 3 years of work by 130+ researchers from all over the world - all presented, debated, and adopted last week in #Namibia. Really proud to be part of the #NexusAssessment expert team!
After years of work and hours of perseverance, the #NexusAssessment Report has been approved by the Plenary at #IPBES11. 👏🏽👏🏽
Kudos and congratulations to the experts on this monumental achievement!

Facing complex issues like declining biodiversity means integrating diverse viewpoints & variables.
@uvmvermont's @TaylorHRicketts & colleagues from across the world collaborated on the @IPBES report to address these issues.

I'm here in #Namibia with the amazing #NexusAssessment leadership team, getting ready for an intense week presenting our work to delegates to #ipbes11. It all starts tomorrow!
🌍 The wait is nearly over—only 2 days until the #IPBES11 Plenary session begins!
Being considered:
📘 #NexusAssessment: Tackling challenges of interlinked crises together
📗 #TransformativeChange Assessment: Obstacles and options for a more just & sustainable world

Deforestation can make bednets less effective. Whoah. New findings from Tafesse Estifanos and team at @gundinstitute. These interactions between nature and health are everywhere, as highlighted this week by the #NexusAssessment here at #IPBES11 in Namibia .
Lose too much forest, and the fight against malaria is harder to win. That's the takeaway from new #UVM research.
When deforestation rates exceed 50%, bed-nets lose effectiveness against malaria.

You've heard about bees' role in feeding the world. But if you also enjoy delicious coffee, thank a bee.
New research from @AristiNati, @TaylorHRicketts & colleagues shows bee pollination improves coffee's flavor.

We manage what we measure, so let’s measure what matters. Companies conducting business in Europe will now have to do that. And this report will help them use new tech to get started quickly. It’s been a pleasure working with @planet @Microsoft @NatCapProject on this.
Companies are used to tracking carbon output, but what about other biodiversity impacts?
A new white paper coauthored by #UVM prof. Taylor Ricketts offers ways to measure companies' affects on nature.

Quick glimpse into Bryony Sands and her work here at @RickettsLabVT and @GundInstitute. Go Bryony!
Meet a @uvmvermont researcher, Bryony Sands, who studies the "back end" of the life cycle of plants and animals by researching dung beetles. They're in #Vermont and they help fertilize and protect soil, roll that video! @UVMCALS @GundInstitute #research #regenerativeagriculture

#UVM and Gund researchers are tracking how nature, exercise, and stress affect our health.
The @uvmcomplexity-led study will use @ouraring to measure biometrics from 600+ people over time.

Long-term moth sampling after H. Maria is finally yielding some data!
So far, we've found close to 20 species that we hadn't seen in our pre-hurricane samples, and there are still more moths to spread! 😍

A preview of my work with @RickettsLabVT and others! Excited to be beginning the first field season of my PhD!🐝🫐
Thanks for the spotlight, @Agroecology_UVM! 🥳
Wild bees are critical for blueberries, but the natural areas that support wild bees also support crop pests. UVM CoP member and Food Systems PhD student @_LeslieSpencer_ is working to understand trade offs between pollinators and pests.
