Cutting food waste in the U.S. by 50% could be almost as beneficial to biodiversity as switching the entire U.S. population to a planet-conscious diet. See interview with @QuentinDRead about his research on creating a more #sustainable #food system: https://t.co/1jk5bYertI

Today, the radical right-wing supermajority on the US Supreme Court handed down its decision in West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency. To be clear- this is a shockingly disturbing decision that hobbles EPA's ability to reduce climate pollution.

1️⃣ Cut back on animal products—esp. red meat. 2️⃣ #BuyLocal products and limit consumption of out-of-season produce/specialty foods from far away. 3️⃣Eat what you buy. Check out @QuentinDRead's @sesync research on making healthy and sustainable food choices via @markhamh/@Medium⬇️

Learn about the new @ScienceMagazine article from @SESYNC's @DrRachelMason, @QuentinDRead, @AElmoreUMCES & colleagues on declining nitrogen availability for plants—which could have important consequences for plants' growth & the animals that consume them. https://t.co/3OYqAZQNtx

And relatedly, here's more support for breaking down the artificial divide between "researchers" and "research support"

Nature - Research professionals should not be split into two categories, say Marta Teperek, Maria Cruz and Danny Kingsley.

Taking a research support role like biostatistician should not be seen as an inferior "plan B" to becoming a PI of a lab -- it is important & rewarding!

Ever wonder what happens if you plant a tallgrass #prairie without dominant grasses? So did we! Turns out a lot - sustained increase in diversity, shift to dominant forbs, changes in biomass, nutrient cycling, etc. Check it out!

(apologies for the self-promotion) Our food waste, diets, and biodiversity research appeared in Anthropocene Magazine! https://t.co/pmdASnQ2a3 via @AnthropoceneMag @kellyproof @sesync

According to a new study, reducing food waste by just half could be a more effective way to protect biodiversity than changing people's diets.

And yet another in a long list of reports and studies that show that moving to a plant-based diet is good for the climate. We only have 3 years to change the course of climate change, according to the IPCC. Time for action. https://t.co/hiL8ovJ0SN
