She came away with great insights. https://nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nph.7012208 Apr 2025 03:21 +0000at://did:plc:2aihsvlev6ofvmowq4begnow/app.bsky.feed.post/3lmbjh6w3vk22https://bsky.app/profile/shenkin.bsky.social/post/3lleh6wsnwc2rOne of the more remarkable and surprising studies I’ve read in quite a while!

Open only to Emerging Research Institutions (ERIs), it aims to foster community resilience and translate science for societal benefit. https://new.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/forecast-focus-recruiting-emerging-climate-adaptation-scientists/506211/nsf24-55807 Feb 2025 20:20 +0000at://did:plc:2aihsvlev6ofvmowq4begnow/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhmgggtvpk2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/shenkin.bsky.social/post/3lfsltp6y7c2hNot that anyone asked for a large experiment on the presumably-mollifying effects of porn on violence by teenagers, but looks like we're about to get it. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/15/us/supreme-court-texas-law-porn.html15 Jan 2025 20:23 +0000at://did:plc:2aihsvlev6ofvmowq4begnow/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfsltp6y7c2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/shenkin.bsky.social/post/3lew3iis4rk25Come join us as an 🦾Assistant Professor in Mechatronics and Robotics🦾! NAU is a dynamically collaborative and skilled community. I’ve been here 3 years and, as a result, have been able to advance interests I thought were only pipe dreams prior. https://hr.peoplesoft.nau.edu/psp/ph92prta/EMPLOYEE/HRMS/c/HRS_HRAM.HRS_APP_SCHJOB.GBL?Page=HRS_APP_JBPST&Action=U&FOCUS=Applicant&SiteId=2&JobOpeningId=608210&PostingSeq=1 Please share!04 Jan 2025 12:16 +0000at://did:plc:2aihsvlev6ofvmowq4begnow/app.bsky.feed.post/3lew3iis4rk25https://bsky.app/profile/shenkin.bsky.social/post/3ldwsitybk22dAutonomous UASs are advancing rapidly, but they still struggle in forest understories. 🌟We’re excited to announce that “Autonomous Scaleable UAV Exploration of Forest Carbon Dynamics, and Fire and Timber Management: The Glasswing Project” has just been funded by USDA AFRI.🌟.23 Dec 2024 01:42 +0000at://did:plc:2aihsvlev6ofvmowq4begnow/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldwsitybk22dhttps://bsky.app/profile/shenkin.bsky.social/post/3ldpmnmpfqk2s@ecosail.bsky.social’s new #riegl terrestrial laser scanner arrived, funded by the Arizona Board of Regents and the citizens of Arizona via the TRIF fund. With it we’ll push ecosystem science and autonomous sUAS systems + dual-use DoD ISR/SAR applications, and more.
