The SFS Headwaters Leadership Academy is now accepting applications for its 2024 cohort! This program teaches early career scientists non-research skills like running a lab & budgeting + provides networking opportunities.

Applications due June 30: freshwater-science.org/headwaters-lea…

A serious question: what practical steps will the US administration and other governments take to prevent more massacres in Gaza?
Condemning is useless in the face of a state that has no problem with the burning of human beings and tents and houses and hospitals.

White male: White men can no longer find jobs in academia.

Academia:

Small streams and wetlands are the building blocks of our rivers. Join Splashy and the gang as they teach you about the Supreme Court ruling that cut protections for streams like him and how your clean water is now at risk. americanrivers.org/splashy-speaks…

Less than 2 weeks! Stroud Water Research Center is excited to welcome the Society for Freshwater Science to the Delaware River Watershed, our neck of the woods and our stretch of the crick. Proud to sponsor #2024SFS Freshwater Science #freshwater #science

Almost time for #2024SFS ! Have you ordered your SFS Students merch yet?

I share this remembrance of my friend and colleague, Diana Wall, in sadness but also in gratitude for the warm, generous, & infectiously enthusiastic, way that she lived and elevated her science. We remember her fondly. Diana H. Wall (1943–2024) | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

At this point, those books are so much more than paper, ink, and glue. They represent the bodies of people—children, systems of knowledge, creative output, humanity, hard work. Genocides involve trying to erase everything about a people. Here’s proof.

River enthusiast, you are invited! 💧☀️
I will be defending my PhD June 10 @ 2 pm CET on integrating non-perennial rivers & streams in the sustainable management of freshwater ecosystems. All are welcome to attend! Thanks to Thibault Datry & Prof. Bernhard Lehner for their supervision!

I figured the Supreme Court's Alexander would be bad. But it's so much worse than I expected. Alito loaded his majority opinion with traps to make it nearly impossible for any plaintiff to prove racial gerrymandering in court. A full-on gutting of the equal protection clause.

Here's Justice Kagan again, slamming the conservative supermajority for effectively greenlighting racial gerrymandering.

'So this 'odious' practice of sorting citizens, built on racial generalizations and exploiting racial divisions, will continue.' supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf…

Important research into IDF targeting in Gaza during opening months of war:
- No major difference between rate at which medical facilities damaged vs other buildings.
- Women & kids were 30–41% of the dead during 4 previous Gaza conflicts. This time: 67%.

NEW from me: Georgia made mutual aid a crime this month by essentially outlawing community bail funds. I spoke to Black mothers, pastors, and activists who are fighting back.

The first chapter of my PhD research has been published!🥳We present LakeTEMP: a dataset of #Landsat 8 surface water temperature observations and ice phenology estimations for all lakes in the world that are larger than 0.1 km² (~1.4 million).🧵 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Deeply embarrassing

Today I participated in a NOAA GML panel to discuss career issues with early career scientists. My advice, in case it can be helpful to others:

-your time and wellness are your most precious resources.
-develop your self worth and identity outside any job or organization.
