Our new paper in Nature Geoscience reveals a substantial slowdown in the rate of increase in gross primary production (GPP) in drylands, due to water constraints, but a sustained increase in humid regions in response to rising temperature and CO2. Led by Fei Li. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
“I was expecting an attack on climate science,” @drkatemarvel.bsky.social said. “But actually, who they went after 1st was pediatric cancer & Parkinson’s research, and childhood vaccines. I was completely unprepared for an attack on science, because it’s a means of finding out & telling the truth.”

In good news, your advocacy for science funding is paying off! Congress has just rejected the massive cuts to NASA's 2026 budget.
(Sadly, they didn't include a provision for saving @ncar-ucar.bsky.social but we use this win to keep fighting!)
🍁Funding for new PhD students ($40k/yr) & postdocs ($70k/yr) coming from outside Canada. Contact me if interested in #Ecophysiology at #UBC in #Vancouver! Possible topics: leaf physiology, thermal ecology, microclimate, scaling, tree physiology, forest ecology, more! michaletzlab.org

In the span of four days, we’ve built a coalition of over 80 lawmakers — including several Republicans — to stop the dismantling of NCAR.
I’m grateful to them for their efforts as we work to secure language protecting NCAR in the upcoming CJS appropriations bill.
We will not back down!
