Now is a great time to get involved in any cause that inspires you. Non-profits need as much support as they can get, now more than ever! Plus, experiencing the internal workings of an organization brings so much understanding and respect for every goal reached and program launched.

2025 was a wild year to be president of a professional society focused on science and environmental management, but I'm so lucky to work with these folks. I am in awe of the commitment and enthusiasm of everyone in the lake community who volunteers their time and expertise for @nalms.bsky.social.

In 2019, a house finch with a malformed beak became a regular in our garden. Didn't see it again after that spring. Now in 2026, it seems to be back?! #birds #birding

I guess it's time to end my alumna donations and put my regalia hood in storage. Why remain associated with a university that wants nothing to do with the expertise it trained me in? Good luck with the tornadoes and droughts, Nebraska - your flagship university won't be able to help you anymore.

PhD fellowship in Diversity, Ecology and Effects of Toxigenic Marine Microalgae

This is a really cool PhD position (with Nordic salary) between University of Copenhagen and us at the MFRI in Iceland. Come work with us and feel free to dm me with any questions about life in Iceland, moving here, etc. employment.ku.dk/phd/?show=15...

I would interpret it as willingness to participate in trainings. Many universities provide professional development (PD) to make faculty better teachers, stronger researchers, etc. by internal programs or external courses like ACUE. Also, desire to seek out discipline-specific PD in early career.

The Univ. of Nebraska’s Dept. of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences has established a webpage soliciting the community’s help in saving their program. Their hearing in front of campus admin is next Friday, Oct 10th. Please consider sharing why they’re essential!

I earned my PhD in this program. This is an excellent department with an outsized level of productivity. They train professionals for careers as experts in severe weather, drought, climatology, hydrogeology, petroleum, and paleontology. This would be a big loss for UNL. I hope they reconsider.
