#ESA2025 #COVID alert: Just heard from a good friend with whom I reconnected and hung out a fair bit this past week that they’ve tested positive for covid after feeling a bit ill on the journey home! So my friends at the meeting, y’all might want to test yourself too. I just did and am -ve. 🤞🏽 🤞🏽

My new @science.org editorial on the role of scientists in defending democracy is out today. As authoritarianism takes hold in the US, we must fight for the democratic principles that enable a free society and scientists have a key role. I hope you'll join us.

Then @shunkaha3.bsky.social brought an Indigenous perspective on the human-nature relationship as a child-mother relationship, and spoke from his work grounded in communities, local and around the world. Ends with an emphasis on relationality with each other and with our nonhuman relatives. #ESA2025

Really important and powerful session happening at #ESA2025 right now, with a message all ecologists/conservationists/environmentalists need to hear: People have *always* been part of nature, interacting dynamically with nonhuman beings and ecosystems, as long as humans have been on this Earth!

“Let’s stop saying ‘human’ when we mean Capitalism, Colonialism, Racism, and Patriarchy” as the real sources of environmental destruction and our linked crises of climate disruption and extinction! Thank you @jacquelyngill.bsky.social for naming these real threats in an Ecology conference. #ESA2025

Just heard a fantastic talk by Prof. Lawrence T. Brown, author of “The Black Butterfly” on the history and legacies of redlining and housing segregation policies in the US, in an early morning session at #ESA2025 which happens to be in Baltimore this week!
Like, he literally published a book with this in the title

Yes! Come talk to me about publishing in the Bulletin of the ESA! Have an essay or an op-ed about ecology burning inside you or on your computer? Send it my way! A poem? Pictures depicting ecology? Papers on ecology education? We take them all! Find me at #ESA2025 and ask me anything!

Fulfilling experience running our course yesterday with some deep conversations about colonialism in ecology and ways to overcome it through ethical practices to help reconcile science/policy with Indigenous worldviews that treat humans as part of nature, not above her (even as stewards). #ESA2025
Still plenty of room in our workshop/course on Decolonizing Ecological Praxis and Engaging with Indigenous Communities at #ESA2025 in two weeks! Join us if you’re able to as we are planning to spark some deep conversations vital for the future of our field.
Planning to attend @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social's upcoming #ESA2025 annual meeting in Baltimore?
Consider signing up for my short course w Gwen Bridge:
Decolonizing Ecological Praxis and Engaging Ethically with Indigenous Communities
Look for SC 02 when you register!
Curious but unsure? Ask me!

Gearing up to hit the road to Baltimore later today, for #ESA2025 starting this weekend.
Who else is going? I see a no. of cancelled workshops, etc on the schedule and am sensing this year’s meeting will be smaller than usual.
Also hoping to catch up with friends in the area, so lmk if you’re one!
