Last Notes npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth Glad he's doing good in his rehab! npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth Can't mention air pollution. Can't mention conservation of native species. Can't mention the effects of invasive species. npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth If you're interested in hanging out with other people online watching something, Metafilter does an annual holiday marathon watch that always includes a really random assortment of stuff. npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth I was the 399th person to vote at our unincorporated DeKalb precinct where the only thing on the ballot was the 2 Public Service Commissioners. I think tonight is gonna be a good night for ordinary Georgians who care about responsible electric utilities. npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth On Nov 1, we're going to sample (many of) the streams in Gwinnett County, GA, USA all in one day! Come join us! It will be fun and you will learn things! Bring your kids! #Atl #Atlanta npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth I did link to the article. You are welcome to read it. Or just not read my post. Your choice. npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth This is just so appalling. This sort of compliance in advance by National Geographic is what is doing us all in. A corporation that big should have the courage of its massive wealth to support it releasing the very best art it can, regardless of what MAGAheads think. npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth Mine is a closed barrel that has a pipe connecting it to the (still intact) gutter. Highly recommended in mosquito prone places. npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth Yeah, that sounds right. The beavers always win. Even ending up with a beaver in your freezer is only winning the battle. People will always lose the war, because beaver are very productive and industrious. npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth I'm speaking about Atlanta #beavers at the International Urban Wildlife Conference #IUWC2025 next week in the special all day Peach State Urban Wildlife session. As a stream ecologist who mostly studies ecosystems and bugs, this is pretty different for me, but I figure it will be really cool to learn from experts in tangential fields and assumed there would be beaver talks from other cities. npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth Please join us for the inaugural Southeast Virtual Beaver Summit, Thursday, Jun 26, 2025, 9 am - 12 pm EDT. Join us for presentations from regional leaders in beaver research, management, and advocacy! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/southeast-virtual-beaver-summit-tickets-1295854709319?aff=oddtdtcreator npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth They made Jimmy Carter sell his peanut farm, but JD Vance gets to get rich by selling American farmland to foreign investors. npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth This is the week in BIOL 1108K where we go outside and look at plant diversity: a moss, fern, conifer, monocot, herbaceous eudicit, and woody eudicot. Yes, I literally make them touch grass npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth #AcademicChatter npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth My students ask this a lot. npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth All kinds of cool animals overwinter in the leaves. If you shred them, you're shredding things like stick bugs and sphinx moth pupae. npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth Thank you for the thanks! npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth For those who don't recognize the address, that's Rockdale County Assembly Hall in Conyers npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth And yes, that's exactly why scientists at the EPA, not Supreme Court justices, should be determining policy. Because this stuff is so confusing that even hardworking science journalists and their editors and fact checkers can get it wrong. npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth This New Republic article gives a better explanation. npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth Unfortunately, the Sci Am article didn't explain it correctly either. The Ohio Clean Air Act suit was about all nitrogen oxides, which includes nitrogen oxide and nitrous oxide as well as other compounds made of nitrogen and oxygen. npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth To me as a biologist, our answer is Darwin's On the Origin of Species and Gregor Mendel's Experiments in Plant Hybridization. Everything else flows from those two. npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth But also honorable mention npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth https://ecoevo.social/system/media_attachments/files/113/489/991/894/511/402/original/8234fc2a52eb555b.png npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth (2/2) npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth 1/3 npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth We had a no backpacks rule in junior high. It was either carry products in a pocket/small purse or run to your locker in between classes. npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth NC has a Democratic governor now and is about to elect a new one. It's just that gerrymandering has destroyed their state legislature. npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth I was born in 1976, and this was absolutely still being done where I lived (NC) well into the 1980s because I can remember us taking racks of coke bottles back to the grocery store to be reused. npub14k8gnc26shl57kf784dw5fcjz68dpjfc6aev42twjhfegdwqt9eq8esy7n Elizabeth Sudduth It turns out a buzzard was a useless hawk (i.e., a hawk that couldn't be used in falconry)!
