So nice that this paper came out this week on responses to experimental warming of soil microbes in the high Arctic! Great memories of the fieldwork, and I learned a lot! :) https://t.co/8TfGdVdVyX @BAS_News @NHM_Denmark

Come and join our Botany group at the Natural History Museum of Denmark as a new PhD student, using genetics to investigate plant diversity and pollination networks in Greenland!

Deadline July 4th. https://t.co/uRzAvWr65W

The vision of #automated #pollinator #monitoring has come true! By embedding the #deeplearning algorithm in the recording process, we can track timing and duration of individual insect visits to flowers and reduce bias in abundance estimates @HjalteMann

Many thanks to all contributors!

It's not every day you find an email in your inbox with a poem based on your research! ​I was honoured that my latest paper on moss biogeography inspired Sam Illingworth to make this great poem https://t.co/zovc1mageE! ​Thank you, @samillingworth!

@MossPlants @github @mossMatters @ebsessa @NormWickett @fern_way @PlantsRChemists @MasseyHerbarium I used Weebly, which is really easy and straightforward - and it has nice templates. (Here is my website as an example: https://t.co/lLOaCQLs5K)

@EvelinePinseel @Antarcticmoss Thanks Eveline! Also in relation to your previous great(!) work on diatoms it's interesting to see the biogeographic patterns of other microscopic/spore-dispersed organisms, and how and through which mechanisms they can distribute to many places on the planet!

📌Clavelito antártico llegó al Continente Blanco posterior a la última glaciación. Investigación realizada por científicos del Reino Unido y de Chile concluyó que el origen de la flora vascular antártica es relativamente reciente.🇨🇱 🇬🇧🇦🇶👉 https://t.co/ewuLyM7Klk #QuedateEnCasa

Great study by @EvelinePinseel published today in @NatureComms https://t.co/ubHBz4nuSd reveals how the evolution of globally occurring microorganisms is highly driven by dispersal and speciation in isolation.
An incredible feat, with >1500 environmental samples across the globe!

Evolution of microorganisms is highly driven by global dispersal & formation of distinct species in isolation. BAS ecologist Dr Elise Biersma @EliseBiersma contributes to new study led by Dr Eveline Pinseel @EvelinePinseel, published today in Nature Comms: https://t.co/eWarZmKOaV

While most groups of terrestrial organisms include examples of long-term presence in #Antarctica, the native vascular #flora reveals a recent arrival on the continent. https://t.co/yHtQtgQc0o #biogeography #JBiogeography @EliseBiersma #BAS_news #NHM_Denmark #ucph #Carlsbergfondet

"Found on nearly every continent except for Antarctica” is a common distribution of many plant families. Yet, despite is frozen status, Antarctica is home to a uniquely hardy flora. Find out more about the botany of this frozen continent

Back from Arctic fieldwork and start of my new job at the Natural History Museum of Denmark and the University of Copenhagen to study the evolutionary history of plants in Greenland!
I'll also keep working at BAS until spring 2021 on Antarctic projects.

@JesamineCB @NINAforskning Wow! So amazing :D What a cool job! Congrats!
