Now, I could finally meet many great researchers who I've been following from around the world in person!</p><p>It's also been great to present my research on long-term <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/wildfire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wildfire</span></a> dynamics to an expert audience and discuss diverse ideas. I took with me many creative ideas and an extended and deepened network! Thanks to the conveners of Session 15 for the chance to present my work, and to the local organizing committee from Tongji University and everyone else who made this conference happen!</p><p>The study I presented is currently in review, but a <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/preprint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>preprint</span></a> is available here: <a href="https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.03.14.643308" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">doi.org/10.1101/2025.03.14.643</span><span class="invisible">308</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/academicchatter" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>academicchatter</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/paleofire" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>paleofire</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/academicsunite" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>academicsunite</span></a></span> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a></p>
