Nothing better than a good mutualism... and other cool science-y stuff. Assistant prof in Ecology at UT Austin

Congrats to Sarah Ortiz for leading this new paper examining the effects of N fixers on neighboring plants and the mediating role of soil texture: https://t.co/1PPxUpNR1F

@sian_kg @Dal_ESnENVS Congrats, Sian!!

[Stephanie Kivlin @stephaniekivlin]

The Kivlin Lab @UTK_EEB is recruiting a master’s or PhD student for Fall 2023 to work on a @NSF funded project examining belowground plant-mycorrhizal fungal mutualism disruption by invasive garlic mustard. Please reach out within the next week for more details!

@mixotrophe @texas_IB @carolinefarrior @melisabetta @archaeal So great to see you, and thanks for a great talk!

[Duncan Menge @DuncanMenge]

Colleen Schmidt published a paper from her undergrad thesis! Mirroring what we found in trees, understory symbioses at Waiakea sustained N fixation at high N supply, particularly at high light. https://t.co/KUXkn2ItxD. Congrats! w/ @FunktionalEco @Nfixers, Akana, Palmer @JEcology

[Integrative Biology @texas_IB]

Deadline Feb 1st for the InSTInCT (Inclusive Student Training in Collections and field-based Topics) summer program. Undergraduates conduct cutting-edge scientific research on the diversity of life and organisms in their natural environment.

@rachelvannette @bombus_nevinii @AycoTack @tngrainger @CorrieMoreau @Kaplan_Lab @KassUrban_Mead What an honor! Thanks, Rachel and the UC Davis insect ecologists!

The ideas of women scientists are just as critical and groundbreaking as those of male scientists. It’s time @smithsonian and @stri_panama recognize this by ending its culture of discrimination against women. #GenderEquity #YesAllWomen #BelieveSurvivors https://t.co/Y37gzete0M

[Maga Gei @DrMagaGei]

Women face multiple barriers in Science that bring us down or push us out. The pervasive and toxic culture of sexual harassment like the one I experienced @stri_panama needs to change!

@sashajwright Super cool! As you mention, these feedbacks are so interesting, and certainly underexplored...

[Cal-IPC @cal_ipc]

Recent study in Nat’l Acad of Sciences shows health of CA grasslands affected by loss of drought-sensitive species, variable ability to resist invasive spcs suggests complex interactions between species traits.

@sashajwright Great question! Not quite the question you asked about VPD, but we did do some plot-scale microclimate measurements of soil moisture and surface temperature in this experiment, and showed that those small-scale effects of diversity have cascading effects on flowering phenology.
