Today is international women in science day! I feel lucky to work in a place that has more people who identify as female than male! It feels incredible being surrounded by such amazingly clever women. I love that I get to work with you every day #InternationalDayOfWomenInScience

So excited to share our preprint paper: #Holocene plant diversity revealed by #ancientDNA from 10 lakes in northern Fennoscandia

Our poster for @TheSTEMvillage is up! We are excited to share these results with all of you! Looking into the past can help us respond to current and future global change. 🌱🧬🏔

Temperatures reached +38°C within the Arctic Circle on Saturday, 17°C hotter than normal for 20 June. #GlobalHeating is accelerating, and some parts of the world are heating a lot faster than others.

The #RaceToZero emissions is a race for survival.

Excited to attend the virtual International Statistical Ecology Conference @isec2020 in Australia this week! So cool that the talks are recorded so we're not up at crazy o'clock😅

@EcogenProject had a great time at @EuroGeosciences this year, read about it here: https://t.co/p9AK8wxk0p

Brilliant point @CPEG2018 by @indehiscent on the importance of abundance when discussing ecology @

Fascinating talk on #DNAbarcoding of #plants to unravel vegetation ecology by @EcogenProject 's Kelsey Lorberau #palaeobotany #CPEG2018

Getting acquainted with the local fieldwork assistants.

Team ECOGEN has arrived in the Alps and we are ready to core the sedimemt out of this place

[EcoGen 🏳️‍🌈 @EcogenProject]

Hopschusee lake, Swiss Alps: great team, nice weather and 8 m of sediment. Oh yeah! #paleo #alps @EcogenProject

[EcoGen 🏳️‍🌈 @EcogenProject]

@PalaeoPete and @KHeggland are on their way to the Alps! https://t.co/FJqChVwFI0

Tromsø to Luleå: one Sea Eagle, one Moose, many Reindeer, some Finns, and surprisingly few Swedes.

The new raft and coring equipment have been tested out and worked great! #readyfortheAlps #fieldwork @EcogenProject @PalaeoPete @KHeggland
