Legacy effects of religion, politics and war on urban evolutionary biology - Nature Cities Cities affect biological evolution, but traditionally researchers focus on the biophysical influence of urban environments. Instead, this Review explores how the social processes of religion, politics...

I am thrilled that this manuscript is now out in the world! If you saw my talk at #Evol2025 you may remember me discussing how religion, politics & war shape urban evolution & now you can read all about it here: www.nature.com/articles/s44...

NCA6 Update April 28, 2025 Dear NCA6 Participants, Thank you for your participation in the 6th National Climate Assessment. At this time, the scope of the NCA6 is currently being reevaluated in accordance with the Global Change Research Act of 1990. We are now releasing all current assessment participants from their roles. As plans develop for the assessment, there may be future opportunities to contribute or engage. Thank you for your service.

Well, it's official. We just received notice that all authors on the Sixth National Climate Assessment have just been released from their roles.

The NCA is a vital, Congressionally mandated resource for our nation as we prepare for the impacts of climate change. This is a huge loss.

I’d love to be added.

I’m excited to share Jen Wisecaver’s link to the LIFE synthesis report that she and colleagues developed after 2 NSF national scoping sessions.

Check it out. Lots of interest in this theme. Stay tuned for more.
