The Vermont Pollinator Working Group organized “Pollinator Celebration Day” this past weekend, to mark the end of National Pollinator Week. Taylor Ricketts gave a keynote about native bees & Leslie Spencer taught attendees about gardening for native pollinators.

“I will be working with a remarkable team of experts from across the country on the links between nature and human well-being,” Taylor Ricketts said. “Doctors, biologists, public health researchers, economists, and others...”

Thrilled to welcome Carina Manitius to the lab! 🎉 Carina's research focuses on the social and economic impacts of conservation policies, aiming for a just transition for nature. At UVM, she'll explore how expanding protected areas affects the agricultural sector and food systems.🌍

I am speaking at NATIONAL SUSTAINABILITY SOCIETY INAUGURAL CONFERENCE. Please check out my talk if you're attending the event! #nssseattle - via #Whova event app

Congratulations to @AristiNati, who recently crushed her PhD defense and moved on to bigger and better things! We miss her already but can't wait to see what amazing things she does next! 🎉 #Proud

Just returned from another inspiring HHMI #GilliamFellows meeting! It’s truly empowering to connect with so many brilliant and passionate scientists, all dedicated to advancing inclusion and equity in STEM. 💪🏿💪🏽💪🏻 #LatinainSTEM

You've heard about bees' role in feeding the world. But if you also enjoy delicious coffee, thank a bee. New research from @AristiNati, Taylor Ricketts & colleagues shows bee pollination improves coffee's flavor. Read more from CATIE: go.uvm.edu/68pby

Last Friday, we joined the Vermont Pollinator Working Group Annual Conference to discuss issues related to habitat and pesticides! Leslie Spencer (PhD cand) shared her research on pollinators, pests & blueberries, and CJ (MS student) connected with VT's pollinator experts. 🐝

📢 New study by former postdoc Tafesse Estifanos "shows that a widespread malaria-fighting strategy—bed nets—becomes less effective as deforestation rises. The research underscores how important a healthy environment is for human health." Read more 👇 go.uvm.edu/do4np

I'm here in #Namibia with the amazing #NexusAssessment leadership team, getting ready for an intense week presenting our work to delegates to #ipbes11. It all starts tomorrow!

Deforestation can make bednets less effective. Whoah. New findings from Tafesse Estifanos and team at @gundinstitute. These interactions between nature and health are everywhere, as highlighted this week by the #NexusAssessment here at #IPBES11 in Namibia .

Just back from #IPBES11. 3 years of work by 130+ researchers from all over the world - all presented, debated, and adopted last week in #Namibia. Really proud to be part of the #NexusAssessment expert team!

Facing complex issues like declining biodiversity means integrating diverse viewpoints & variables. University of Vermont's Taylor Ricketts & colleagues from across the world collaborated on the ipbes report to address these issues. From The New York Times' Catrin Einhorn:go.uvm.edu/6ctex
