Large terrestrial herbivores influence tropical forest regeneration, affecting seedling communities 🌲 Conservation & trophic rewilding could play a key role in diversity & forest regeneration. Yet, trophic rewilding requires careful planning 📑 🔗doi.org/10.1111/1365-2664.14…

Recruiting Black/Latinx/Indigenous faculty + grad students? Start *fully* covering relocation costs. We often don't have savings and family safety nets. Why? A typical white family's net worth is nearly 10x greater than that of a Black family. #highereducation #highered

I’ve hatched a plan to change the face of scientists we see when we visit science museums. This is my STEM #glowup If you are a gender minority in STEM or a queer woman (esp POC). Please consider nominating yourself to share your story! (and spread the word)
Care about representation in museum exhibits? Please RT! We're looking for 25 people to feature in this: bit.ly/3aXEMgH. If you're an LGBTQ+ woman or gender-minority in STEMM (POC especially welcome), please consider nominating yourself: bit.ly/2Zt8TaB.
