New paper alert ✨: systematic review of trends in #metadata reporting and data storage across #marine #eDNA #metabarcoding studies! Check out the 1st paper from my PhD, out now in @thePeerJ with @Jacobkupp, @wavyhairedasian, @AVastMachine, and more: https://t.co/GWVz0xXtfr 🧵

Hey folks @theAGU #AGU24 Please take a moment to fill out this quick survey https://t.co/dTx9bH2HII led by @tamarapico and her @ucsc undergrad Lydia Vance on geometaphors. Could @AGU_EPSP spread the word via retweet/at Gilbert club?

sociology and media studies friends, take a look at my new paper "The 1619 Project Moral Panic: The Role of Cable News" out in @socprobsjournal
https://t.co/bIS6YtukNC 1/4

Abstract. The U.S. right is in the throes of a moral panic over the study of race and racism in schools. This panic developed in part through the backlash

Incredible, heartbreaking reporting by @shannonosaka on the intersection between climate impacts & mental health.
On July 12, 2022, Stephan -- who had been diagnosed with schizophrenia in his late 20s -- left home in the midst of a Phoenix heat wave. He was carrying a drawstring bag with a pillow, two guns, and a gallon of water. He never came back. https://t.co/Ne4QZPsZEl

Any #OpenScience tips or important things we're missing? Any thoughts on how to make these existing resources more useful? Anyone interested in testing how understandable our code actually is? All feedback + ideas welcome!

And we have more resources in progress: data products on @datadryad, sequence data in the @NCBI SRA (via GEOME), and biodiversity data in @GBIF.

Inspired by great @CALeDNA_biodiv protocols ( https://t.co/TObenOY1LR), we also have detailed protocols published via @protocolsIO for all our field + laboratory work. Our sampling protocol is here ( https://t.co/MGvVT6dVn1), and you can find the rest linked in our pre-print.

We have a @github repo with an RMarkdown file that reproduces our analyses, also archived via @ZENODO_ORG ( https://t.co/yB5BNeB8k3). I bet there are many ways to make this more usable, so if you end up checking it out, I'd love any feedback (beta testing, anyone?) 🧑💻

Can #eDNA help us monitor small differences in rocky #intertidal ecosystems? Our new @biorxivpreprint says -- yes! And you can dive in to the details at https://t.co/uV2Kt3PJmP. 🌊 But we have some #OpenScience additions to the paper itself, too: a 🧵 (+ how you can help!)

Can planned relocations of entire flood-prone communities *ever* be “successful”? What leads to better outcomes? Excited to share a new @NatureClimate paper comparing cases of this controversial but increasingly salient climate adaptation strategy: https://t.co/jl0JOIkGyg

The climate movement may be careening toward a breaking point. With rifts growing between traditional environmentalists & clean power companies, I talked with energy historian @jlappen1 about what’s gone wrong & how we can keep making progress on climate:

Competing visions of the future are driving a wedge between clean energy companies and traditional environmentalists.
