I'm thrilled to share our new paper, "Implementation costs of restoring global mangrove forests," published in One Earth!
We find that restoring 1.1 million hectares of mangroves globally would remove 0.93 billion tons of carbon dioxide and cost $10.7 billion.

Merci mon ami!
I'm energized to #standupforscience at Berkeley this Friday!
Stand up for Science has 3 goals:
1) Secure and expand scientific funding
2) End censorship and interference in science
3) Defend diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in science

Oh, and for economists: the GOAT of countercyclical public investments.
Hoover Dam is the Sistine Chapel of dams. Breathtaking in scale, transformed the entire Southwest, an engineering marvel, architecturally and artistically beautiful, historically fascinating, the yardstick against which all other dams are measured…
I’d give it a chance.
Our Oceans is astonishing. The nature footage that drones can capture is like nothing seen in previous documentaries.

Proudly Team Parasaurolophus here, repping the 0%
@whatthefog.bsky.social I’m trying to think of what the SF equivalent would be. Maybe a beloved burrito or dim sum place.
Relative to NYC they were top tier, among many contenders obviously.
Relative to the Bay they were so much better that when we moved here I started baking my own bagels because nothing else compared.
As a spatula user I’m relieved.
As a media reader I’m disappointed.
As a scientist, there but for the grace of God go I.
And as someone with all-new kitchen implements now, well, for cooking blue is also great and will suffice.
I feel this in my soul from three time zones away. Hug your bagel shop a little tighter today, people.

There are many more Nutches than Nitches!
What should the Nutches do?
A) Build more Nitches
B) Do NOT build more Nitches, because of neighborhood character, traffic concerns, and greedy developers
C) Only support Affordable Nitches, paid for by bond measures they know will never pass
D) B and C
That explains it! Made me smile though.
Lol thanks for this walk down memory lane!
