- The lack of snow in our mountains is pretty scary. And in case, like me, you could use the reminder -- we have no direct control over whether or not it snows today. That said, there are many things we can do to make our forests, communities, and watersheds healthier and more resilient 🌱🏔️🔥
- Update -- six email threads later we have figured out the report name had been changed by one letter so the search couldn't find it anymore. Will it be there tomorrow? Who knows!
- Love sharing the WatchDuty app in my classes, but every time I open it Jackson and Josephine county breaks my heart. Where's our prescribed fire?🔥🔥

- I've kept a running doc of how to do basic grant things throughout my institution's multi-year transition of core software programs, and at this point it reads like House of Leaves. Notes like "I've either lost access to this report or it never existed" abound 🫥

- Reposted by Chhaya Werner, PhDYou've already heard the impact of federal cuts on health research, but what about research on the environment? That picture isn't exactly pretty either. My latest for @highcountrynews.org, on how the stellar field science at the U.S. Forest Service is under threat.
