"Sometimes I marvel at the winding paths our lives take, especially when the world around us is loud, with
opinions, expectations, and the pressure to conform. Amid life's apparent randomness, bounded by our own initial and boundary conditions, what steers us forward?"

What will happen to the 82 USFS experimental forests around the country? Many sites have decades-long experiments that are tracking how forests are changed by timber harvesting practices and climate change. As I say here, “you can't just pick up an experimental forest site and move it to SLC.”

In 2025, nearly half of all books that got read in the US were read by people who read 50 books+ (HT @drkatemarvel.bsky.social)
This inspired my new year's resolution to be in that group, and read at least 50 books this year.
10 books in, learning fascinating history, still time to join! #booksky

Moss covered rocks, fallen tree trunk and still standing birch tree. In the background are many trees and holly shrubs sloping downward from left to right. From the Angidy River, not far from the Wye Valley.
Moss in the forest to bring you a moment of tranquility.
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Great to hear, Claire! Would love to see you there. Sounds like you missed the earlier ones. They are all archived on the website. Feel free to scan and watch your favorite talks.
Nicholas, thank you for the shoutout!
Hydrology Paper of the Day @lireactivewater.bsky.social on why chemical solutes in intermittent streams are dependent on hydrological changes: three decades of data from the Konza Prairie Biological Station, Kansas; examination of the power law CQ relationship; and patterns at different time scales.
Hydrology Paper of the Day @nature.com on reconstructing temperature and salinity of the North Atlantic Ocean 19,000 to 23,000 years ago: stable isotope reconstructions from marine sediment cores; temperatures from benthic foraminifera trace-metal ratios; and reconstructing glacial water currents.
Is there a God? Stephen Hawking gives the definitive answer to the eternal question – superb read for anyone with an agile mind and spacious heart www.themarginalian.org/2026/01/26/s...
congrats to Kayal Sadayappan and a great team! Thanks to Konza LTER!
Does discharge Q drive chemistry C in intermittent streams?
No. They depend more on dry-wet transitions
Highly variable CQ at low Q change to consistent CQ at high Q, signalling a switch from a biogeochemistry-driven dry to flow-driven wet state
