Lots of congratulations to spread around this week!
Congratulations to Kylie Langlois on winning continued support as a STRIDE Fellow! @KylieLanglois @SBSTRIDE
And congratulations to Sabrina Geraci-Yee for winning second place in the poster competition at last week’s MA-ESA meeting! #MAESA18 @sabrinargy
Nobody else wanted to be in a photo with me and this interesting artwork on the Rutgers Newark campus. Thanks to Laura Halligan for taking this photo.

We’re headed for Newark, bright and early Saturday morning!
OK, maybe that’s not usually headline-worthy news, but in this case it’s exciting because we’ll be there all day April 7 to attend the Annual Ecological Society of America Mid-Atlantic Chapter meeting.
http://www.esa.org/midatlantic/2018-annual-meeting-of-the-mid-atlantic-chapter/
Kylie will be giving a talk, and Sabrina and Laura will both be presenting posters.
Jackie will mainly be enjoying the day, with a little moderating duty thrown in.
If you happen to be in New Orleans this week…
First: lucky you! and then second:
Kylie Langlois (@KylieLanglois) will be presenting her dissertation research on the microbial communities of nitrogen-removing biofilters at the big ACS meeting #ACSNOLA 2018; check it out!
Abstract ENVR 457, Wednesday March 21, 4pm, Room 348 of the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center @NewOrleansENMCC
This research would not be possible without the New York State Center for Clean Water Technology, CCWT http://www.stonybrook.edu/cleanwater/
Want to make effective figures? Understanding how people process images helps!
I read a really interesting paper today, Harold et al. 2016 ‘Cognitive and psychological science insights to improve climate change data visualization’. Not just useful for thinking about climate change data, but for planning effective figures of any sort.
Some points felt really familiar: articulations of experience and intuition I’d never thought to verbalize, like why I really want to have a figure and the text talking about it side-by-side to understand them together… turns out that’s a real cognitive Thing with its own term!
Here’s their Figure 2, summarizing the major points.
Anyway check it out for useful insights about improving the figures you’re working on right now.
