note = "Funding Information: To properly detail all of Russ{\textquoteright}s honors and accomplishments we would likely find ourselves far beyond Oecologia{\textquoteright}s allotted word-count so we will have to sacrifice completeness for brevity here. Russ began his career at the University of Colorado at Boulder where he was on the faculty for 30 years and served as the Chair of the Department of Environmental, Population, and Organismic Biology from 2001 to 2004. At CU-Boulder, he mentored 13 PhD students, 22 postdoctoral fellows, and taught (and inspired) innumerable undergraduates and, in 2010, was recognized as a Professor of Distinction. During this time, Russ was also a visiting scholar at some of the most prestigious institutions in Germany, including the University of Bayreuth, the Max Planck Institute in Mainz, and the University of Freiburg. His work in Germany was supported by prestigious fellowships through the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, The Guggenheim Foundation, and The Fulbright Foundation, respectively. The research conducted with colleagues during these fellowships not only led to key scientific discoveries, but also lifelong friendships and the utmost appreciation for traditional German breakfasts. In 2011, Russ left his position in Boulder to become the Louise Foucar Marshall Professor at the University of Arizona. There he conducted research aimed at understanding tree ecological responses to climate change at both the organismal and macrosystem scale in the world-renowned Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research. While at the University of Arizona, Russ also conducted the groove as the drummer for a Tucson-based Grateful Dead cover band, in which he was an unfunded collaborator. He retired in 2020, with emeritus status and moved to Portland, Oregon, where he continues to be active in scientific research and community organizations. ",
