Did you know woody plants can reshape soil health in #drylands? A study by Martha Mary Farella, David D. Breshears and Rachel Gallery shows that woody plant cover alone can predict nearly 50% of #soil function changes, including nutrient levels and microbial activity.

Speaking about the University of Arizona, home of #HiRISE, the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment in Mars orbit:
"We believe that HiRISE is an intersection between science and culture. We often post lines of poetry, aphorisms and literary quotations in different languages […] paired with an image that is meant to show that Mars can also be a place of inspiration and reflection."
A video from my university about how research training affects students. I love that 2 of the 3 students who are showcased are women of color, one of them a Navajo student who talks about her son saying "my mom's a scientist!", and about the impact of the research on safe water for her community. #AcademicChatter #Tucson #Arizona #UniversityOfArizona https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyqEtfZ39kQ
This article is by our new university president and the leader of the central office for research. Universities do good work that is helpful to society, and that shouldn't be news. Society (taxes and federal granting agencies) should support universities, for the research outcomes as well as the education for students, and those two happen together. #AcademicChatter #Tucson #UniversityOfArizona #Arizona https://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/op-ed/2025/05/15/university-arizona-research-funding-garimella/83588623007/

Predicting the extent of invasive Buffelgrass is important for its management. Travis Matlock, a runner-up in the @uazlibraries 2024 #DataVisualization Challenge, in collaboration with the USA NPN, created an informative map that tracks rainfall "events" over a 30-day period to forecast buffelgrass green-up 1–2 weeks in advance. Check out the map here: https://doi.org/10.25422/azu.data.25705419

I got some unfortunate news earlier this month: #UniversityOfArizona has decided to defund the group I work for, @cct-datascience.bsky.social, amidst their continuing budget crisis.
https://datascience.cct.arizona.edu/news/data-science-team-seeking-new-projects-after-losing-funding
It super sucks and means I'll likely have to drop down to 50% in May and I'll be looking for new, better supported, #rseng or #datascience positions, ideally still working with biologists in #rstats in some capacity. Remote or in #Tucson.
Let me know if you know of anything!
Did you know some metamorphic #rocks, called metabasic rocks, are an enormous source of #nitrogen being carried deep into the Earth through subduction? A deep nitrogen (N) cycling study by Ananya Mallik, Anna Rebaza, Paul Kapp, Long Li, Yifan Du, Ahmed Al Shams, Emily Cooperdock unveiled these and more.
