I learned today that I cannot in fact take good videos of myself running, while running with my phone, and instead face planted. But damn was it a beautiful run! Proud of you influences for having better spatial awareness and making it look easy 😂

How lovely it was to see snow on the Santa Rita Mountains today 😍 #azwx

1st paper of 2026 is out! A just energy transition requires just-shoring critical materials www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The news has been heavyyyyyy today so I want to interrupt it with the beautiful morning I had running the trails in the rain with my fur bestie. Can you smell the creosote? Hear the land absorbing the water? The Sonoran desert in the rain is my favorite 🫶🏽

An Arizona Winter perfect day of movement! 10 mile run this am to desert waterfalls, 6 mile evening sunset hike with the best company & planning our future collaborations, then refueled with delicious tacos #AZLiving

Just love it here 😭🫶🏽 Happy New Year from the Sonoran Desert

The way I love Southern New Mexico 😍 Beautiful soils, few people, the Rio Grande, and hot springs! And green chile 🤤(obviously!) #nmtrue

Christmas Eve’s Eve in Northern New Mexico and it’s in the 60’s. As someone escaping New England’s winters I am not mad about it, but it makes me worried for the lands that raised me & summer fire season. #climatechangeishere Also— what a glorious single track trail 😍 #NMtrue

Since we're all thinking about 2026 (goodbyeeeeee 2025), here's one thing I am looking forward to in the New Year! Excited to connect with New England POC nerds!

#AGU2025 Indigenous Geoscience and Asian American and Pacific Islander community meetup! See you in NOLA next week!

Also important: tribes make up 80% of farmers in Arizona. Arid soil health is vitally important to tribal nations.

interesting tidbit I learned from Dr. Joey Blankenship… soil health indicators are all based on East coast ecosystems … there are NO soil health indicators for arid & semi arid ecosystems despite 60% (and growing) of the worlds food production occurs in arid ecosystems

Happy to be down in Yuma for this workshop on soil health in arid ecosystems! Did you know that Yuma produces 95% of winter fruits and vegetables? You can thank Yuma for your thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.

So wonderful to be back in my homelands of the Sonoran Desert 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

Epic cross country drive to get back home to the Southwest with my fur bestie! So far we’ve made stops in Carsile PA (RIP); checked out eutrophication in West Virginia, and caught a gorgeous sunset somewhere in Indiana. Always welcoming stop suggestions and podcast recommendations!

Our Indigenous Data Governance Task Force within @gbif.org, currently represents 8 Nation States. We had our first in person gathering at the #LivingData2025 Conference in Colombia 🇨🇴 this week, along with GBIF ED Joe Miller. We are leaving feeling more connected, inspired and motivated with ideas 💡

Part II of our session, of applied applications and a workshop is once again overflowing and with people on the floor. Awesome turnout #LivingData2025

Overflowing room for our session on Indigenous data governance and the @localcontexts.bsky.social labeling tools. People are eager to learn tools to support Indigenous communities governance of their data #LivingData2025

Majority of species that are going extinct are not funded, because they are small taxa but serve vital ecological functions #livingdata2025

2/3 of biodiversity data is from birds!! No love for soils— but let’s change that 🤩 #LivingData2025

Such a cool experience this morning, paddling with our Indigenous students (with Yo Yo Ma), being invited to the land by Wabanaki relatives, and then witnessing Yo Yo Ma’s incredible music at a sunrise concert ✨

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! Sharing a few photos from hosting my first campus event “From Ashes to Spores: Indigenous Women Restoring Land Relations”; we had a panel facilitated by student leaders with 2 incredible early career scholars, as well as a day spent creating outside with earth pigments

Living our best fall life and look we had our first maple creemee (why have I not had this sooner?!?)

#Fallcolors in Northern Vermont from this weekend… it was the perfect decompression from all the activity at #NYCClimateWeek, and a reminder of how beautiful our earth is, and the work we need to do to protect our environment!

Fantastic “Climate Strides” event by “Where the Climate Things Are” and @protectourwinters.bsky.social — the perfect way to start my day of #NYCClimateWeek— learning with experts and building community through our love or running!

Excited to host my first event here @dartmouthartsci.bsky.social! We will be having a session on Indigenous land restoration with two baddies in the field, Dr. Melinda Adams @scholarmelinda.bsky.social and Dr. Cherie Devore (aka AISES Early Career Scholar of the year) on Oct. 10th!

I got this sent to me from a Pascua Yaqui undergraduate student in Tucson who is in a soils class this semester. She said it was so meaningful to see not only women but someone from her tribe up there. I just about cried. This work matters. We matter ❤️🤍💙

NYC 2025 Climate week! Excited to be there in the action and for this session hosted by @localcontexts.bsky.social

Looking forward to this panel today here in NYC with New York Academy of Sciences #Scicomm

I love going for trail runs in New England, but as an Indigenous person, these trail makes are so cross (and even make my dog pissed). I teach a whole section in my class about outdoor recreation & signage. Trail names are intentional in educating the public and who does and doesn’t belong.
