Try me on Twitter

Jim Barlow -- blog art photoFinding the time to update my blogs is a real challenge. I often get ideas while doing lots of other things, and those ideas keep getting shoved into my brain's deep-dark recesses where a functional MRI might go on the blink if it found "the forgotten things to do compartment."

So I have decided use Twitter, where a person's posting in strictly limited to a low number of characters, to post brief updates or pointers to anyone who might "follow me" on this remarkable social media site. For example, today (Dec. 17) I was notified that our biologist John Postlethwait is co-author on a study described in a news release put out by Northeastern University. I quickly posted a note and link on Twitter.

I won't be writing a news release on this study, because the corresponding author is at Northeastern, thus that university's news office should be the one telling the story. But it is a story about one of our UO faculty members that folks on campus and in the region may be interested in knowing about.

Since you've missed my Twittering this time, you can find the Postlethwait news release, as it was displayed on PhysOrg.com, by clicking here.

Now, before you forget, sign up to follow me on Twitter. Click here to do so.

Projected Rogue River Basin climate impacts described in six UO videos

Bob Doppelt in 2008 Roger Hamilton in 2008

Bob Doppelt and Roger Hamilton of the UO Climate Leadership Initiative went on video to talk about the recently released report featuring climate-change projections for Oregon's Rogue River Basin. Visit our VIDEO PAGE where -- in six videos -- Doppelt talks separately about planning and policy implications, and Hamilton speaks on overall impacts facing the basin, how agriculture, particularly pinot noir production, may be threatened, what may happen to the region's vegetation, and how salmon may be affected.
