Hello, hello? Somebody out there?
Need to dust this abandoned account to share the first publication of my PhD thesis in @JEcology!
"Increasing temperature threaten post-fire auto-successional dynamics of a Mediterranean obligate seeder"

For everyone watching the gender panic over women boxers at the olympics, I highly highly recommend Tested, this killer podcast from @NPR/@CBC and @roseveleth on the frankly wild history of the olympics sex-testing women https://t.co/HpmH6R8drc
Volvemos al ataque con @ObservadoEs si ves alguna de las especies de linos que salen en este hilo 👇🧵 no olvides registrarlas! Tus curiosidad naturalista nos va a ayudar a entender el impacto del cambio climático en la floración y la polinización dentro de #ADAPTAFLOWER
Our work is now in press; in her thesis, @beaLando showed that the onset of flowering and vernalization response correlates with the historical climate in #paleflax across its western range

@RorroDew As a result of great teamwork, we also assembled and seed bulked a collection of a non-model species that was then used for many other experiments. Sometimes an overlooked task, but essential to making science.
If you are iteratively running simulations or model fits in #rstats, one thing you want to get comfortable with is error handling. Take this loop as an example where a linear model is being fitted to a bunch of simulated datasets. 1/6 🧵
My first PhD paper just got published!😙
👉About how latitudinal diversity gradients change in different Amazonian forest types.
👉We found that alpha, beta diversity and dominant patterns were especially different in floodplain forests!🌿🌴

It’s been a challenging time to conduct #botany research these last several years - did you develop some amazing work-arounds to make things happen? If so, submit to our “Resilient botany” special issue in #AppsPlantSci !
Also, if you get sick or someone close to you does, you are on your own. In fact, you are considered a student, not an employee. If you get lucky you might receive a funded PhD extension. Or you might choose to suspend your studies at your own expenses. That's it.
Did you know that a UK PhD stipend is so little that it puts recipients below the absolute poverty line?
UK PhD stipend (outside London): £16,062
Absolute poverty line (60% of 2011 median income): £16,883
No one does research for the money but surely we can do better than this?
Excited to share my first first-author paper, out now in @AoB_PLANTS! We analyzed trait variation in native Lewis flax to better understand its diversity and adaptation to different environments across the Intermountain West. https://t.co/e1ty52sTE8
Postdocs & grad students: Do you want hands-on experience in the editorial and review process? Apply to join the #AppsPlantSci Reviewing Editor board. Applications due July 1. Term starts September 2020. For more info: https://t.co/nsGMphnoog @briana_gross#iamabotanist#botany
After many months, I am excited to showcase my PFTF project, Inkscape for STEM. Figures are critical for communicating our work (papers, grants, presentations). But Illustrator and BioRender are expensive. Inkscape is a free, vector-based software that can fill this gap. 1/4
