Hey tweeps!👋I'm a quantitative #ecologist & #PhD student at @MichiganStateFW @EEB_MSU with Dr. Jianguo Jack Liu 🐼, & got tons of❤️for @KBSLTER & @RLadiesELansing. I develop new #conservation tools & study human effects on #species #distributions.👩‍💻More: https://t.co/8XfdoSirTy

📢Hear ye! Hear ye! New paper alert!📢 "It takes a village to raise a science communicator." I use the metaphor of a medieval village to describe the resources, personnel, and institutions required to succeed in #outreach and #scicomm. Check it out here ➡️ https://t.co/ubbm573U1f

uploaded later than i hoped, but here's my step-by-step video guide on ✨HOW TO WRITE A STATEMENT OF PURPOSE!✨ in it, i analyze my very own SoP that got me into Harvard + other top schools 😍 please share widely! #phdchat #admissions https://t.co/5v0POY1cGm

What an honor for our @NatureEcoEvo article to be seen as part of scientists' decades-long journey towards understanding species range shifts in our changing world. 🌏 Merci, Mediapart, de m'avoir interviewée! Our covered paper is found here: https://t.co/sXuBItjI9C

What a fun visit to @UCBerkeley for my very first seminar as a postdoc! @OrnithoAle and Berkeley Wildlife @ESPM_Berkeley thanks for the invite! 😁See you next time!

[Veronica Frans @VFFrans]

@WenjunHeInfo @Stanford @NSF Thank you! I'm an ecologist! I study coupled human and natural systems. Basically, human relationships with biodiversity, species distributions, and how human-nature relationships extend into ecological theory. 😊

[Veronica Frans @VFFrans]

My PhD is DONE and I am finally at @Stanford University! 🎉 So honored to be here as a Stanford Science Fellow and @NSF PRFB Fellow. 🥰 Three years of research and adventure to come as the new Dr. Frans. ✨ Stay tuned!

[Veronica Frans @VFFrans]

@ashrafmiu584 @Stanford @NSF Thank you!! I am an ecologist and I focus on human relationships with nature (called coupled human and natural systems). I bridge gaps between theory, quantitative methods, and applications to advance ecology, conservation, and sustainability. 😊

[Fisheries & Wildlife at Michigan State University @MichiganStateFW]

PhD Candidate @vffrans and advisor Jianguo "Jack" Liu published an analysis in @NatureEcoEvo that shows #humans are being neglected in species distribution modeling. They also show a way forward. https://t.co/KGa4fKMRQV

Human impact? SDM? Right down my alley! Looking forward to reading this! Rewiew of 12k studies sounds insane😱

[Veronica Frans @VFFrans]

🥳My 1st PhD chapter is out in @NatureEcoEvo!! "Gaps and opportunities in modelling human influence on species distributions in the Anthropocene." I did a massive systematic review of >12k #sdm articles & found only 11% use human predictors in SDMs.😮 https://t.co/sXuBItjI9C 🧵1/

[MSU CANR @CANRatMSU]

PhD Student in @MichiganStateFW Veronica Frans (@VFFrans) and MSU Faculty member Jianguo “Jack” Liu recently had research published in @NatureEcoEvo.

@AlexaMcKay_Eco @NatureEcoEvo Thank you so much, Alex! It was wonderful working with you, too! 😊

[Veronica Frans @VFFrans]

This is one of my greatest achievements as a PhD student. 🥲 It took lot of work and many years, and I'm so grateful for all the support and encouragement from my advisor Jack Liu 🐼, @ChrisKlausmeier, and so many others at @MichiganStateFW @KBSLTER @EEB_MSU ❤️🥰

@NorthernNiches Thank you!!

[Veronica Frans @VFFrans]

What's also interesting is that there were mismatches between study and human predictor time frames--especially in future forecasts. Nearly half the articles projecting to future climates held human predictors constant over time.🧐But why?🤔Find out here!➡️https://t.co/sXuBItjI9C

[Veronica Frans @VFFrans]

1,429 articles used human predictors in SDM training. Collectively, they modeled the distributions of >58k species using 2,307‼️ unique human predictors. This means that compared to environmental predictors, there is no 'rule of thumb' for human predictor selection in SDMs. 🫣 2/
