Chatting w. @urichmond alum, @natgeo photographer, and all around great scientist, @jtkerby, was a DELIGHT. Hear about how he went from doing undergrad research that involved burying acorns around campus to taking one of the 100 best @natgeophotos of the century!

When you're referencing a bunch of articles from @globalchangbio but @zotero can disagregrate the information from this one journal correctly.

An armed man has been standing outside the Robins Center at the University of Richmond since approximately 9:30 a.m. Guns are prohibited on campus, and multiple students going to class/work have called URPD. Hours later and he's still here, despite student complaints.

Am hoping to start up an R for Environmental Science/Physial Geog class. But would *also* not love to reinvent the wheel/write labs from scratch. #AcademicTwitter, #Earthsci, #envirosci and #physgeog peeps, any recs for good resources, textbooks with labs, websites, anything.

"The retaliation I faced from the A.G.U. and Oak Ridge ultimately highlights a disappointing reality: that established scientific institutions will not even support scientists interrupting a meeting for the climate.". @theAGU and @ORNL should be better.

What a good ep to keep you warm on your holiday travels. @bencosgrove tells us all about how he's been making music inspired by his surroundings and in return, @loopdlupien and I make Ben listen to us attempt to take down the Suzuki method.

Also @GovernorVA: 'When Glenn Youngkin was asked what gun safety measures he would support if elected governor, he replied “I think we need to be fully clear: none.”'. UVA (and CO) and this in about a week. Continuously embarrassed to live in a commonwealth run by a clown.

Our hearts break with the community of Chesapeake this morning. I remain in contact with law enforcement officials throughout this morning and have made available any resources as this investigation moves forward. Heinous acts of violence have no place in our communities.
