Honored to present our research today at #ASA_CSSA_SSSA demonstrating mode of action & efficacy of the 1st remodeled microbes to boost biological N fixation in corn systems, enabling fertilizer cuts without yield penalty. A collaboration with @pivotbio @UWMadison & Purdue Univ.
Pivot Bio PROVEN 40 OS is named a 2023 #TIMEBestInventions for transforming crop nutrition. We are honored to be recognized again by @TIME for delivering breakthrough innovations to farmers as one of the most promising climate solutions. bit.ly/45LtAOP

The Data Science by Design community is excited to release the Future of Data Science Anthology⚡️⚡️
This book is a collaboration featuring data designers, scientists, and artists aimed to be both a call to action and vision for what data science can be. datasciencebydesign.org/book
ALT The cover is futuristic and space themed, complete with a cityscape, planets, and icons of people.

❓Do you work with or publish terrestrial model data?
❓Do you need tips on making your model data #FAIR?
🧑💻Read a new publication by @charuleka and @MaegenSimmonds in @CODATANews on #modeldata archiving guidelines👇

Happy to share our paper published today on best practices in archiving land model data to enhance usability, intercomparison & synthesis. Provides helpful guidelines for anyone organizing model data for publication. datascience.codata.org/artic… @CODATANews @ESSDIVE
En route to AGU! After a major flight delay yesterday, hope to arrive tonight. Excited to present on Thursday, and to learn all the latest in nitrogen fixation, negative emission technologies, field sensors, and soil carbon biogeochemistry! #agu21

I am very proud to announce @PivotBio has closed its $430 million Series D. Thanks to our team for their tireless work, our investors for believing in our mission, and our farmer customers across the country who have turned to a better source of nitrogen. pivotbio.co/Series-D
Our new paper, lead by Alan Di Vittorio, shows how the interplay among land management practices with differing goals, land use change & #wildfire warrants an integrated approach to quantifying land-based climate mitigation @eesalbnl @calnatresources dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.…

What are the #BayArea's climate change hotspots?
☑️ out this @nbcbayarea story highlighting 🔟 places where #climatechange impacts the Bay. EESA expert, Margaret Torn, speaks about extended CA #wildfire seasons and the potential impacts we will see without climate mitigation.

Interested in working on scalable climate solutions? We are hiring a postdoc! The announcement can be found at: johnmuir.ucdavis.edu/about/j…
🌲⚖️🔥 The culmination of policymakers & scientists working together in our 1st #CALAND manuscript published on the #carbon & #wildfire impacts of California's land use policy scenarios & the role of climate change doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/ab… @eesalbnl @BerkeleyLab @calnatresources
A key finding is the large scale wildfire mitigation needs in California need to be offset with more widespread emissions-reducing (or sequestering) practices in order to make a considerable contribution to broader carbon emissions reduction targets, such as #netneutrality
Dr. Maegen Simmonds retweeted
🌲 🚜 🏫 We must look at various land-use goals for #California in the context of #climate change, increasing risk of catastrophic #wildfire, and competing priorities like fuel and emissions reduction. New EESA research does so. @MaegenSimmonds

The visdat #rstats package by @nj_tierney is awesome! So quick and easy for exploring a new dataset and finding potential issues such as missing values and data types. Thanks @CieraReports for the tip!
Our paper on the terrestrial #carbon and #greenhousegas emissions & #wildfire risk impacts of #California land use policy was accepted for publication in Environmental Research Letters! #CALAND 👉🏼iopscience.iop.org/article/1…
