I wrote an op-ed on the world-class STEM research ecosystem in the United States, and how this ecosystem is now under attack on multiple fronts by the current administration: newsletter.ofthebrave.org/p/im-an-awar...

The “Mozart of Math” tried to stay out of politics. Then it came for his research.
A great illustration from NM today of how recent wildfire burn scars can contain new fires. This is why you want a mosaic of burn scars (prescribed and wildfire) on the landscape. So any new fire gets boxed in by the old ones.
Some nice media exposure on our new paper published in @globalchangebio.bsky.social pertaining to expanding area burned by high severity wildfire. 🌍🔥
Thank you, @murphywoodhouse.bsky.social, for raising awareness about this important paper.
