Forest ecologist with a focus on insect and disease outbreak. I work at an intersection of epidemiology, community ecology, and biogeochemistry

@LucasClark_SLO Did a really nice article on our Ecosphere paper -- its particularly good in illustrating how our framework can be used to address local problems that we didn't necessarily consider... exactly what we hope folks will do with the model https://t.co/5qg78AXcgp

This is worth the short time it takes to watch, esp given our recent southern CA slide: How It Happens | Mudslides https://t.co/ERp0wNV81B via @nytvideo

I've just launched a youtube channel to support Forest Health at Cal Poly, winter quarter 2018. The channel highlights 10 forest health problems with biological causes. The videos are a little rough in places and I welcome your feedback https://t.co/i3K4WWJ9vA

Nice write up on Ecosphere paper led by Richard Cobb @forestpathogens and Katinka Ruthrof on post tree die-off dynamics and management options using conceptual state and transition models:

The state of Missouri is recruiting a forest pathologist to be based in Columbia. Looks like a good job: https://t.co/ywuAw045GN

We've got a new analysis in Ecosphere that streamlines adaptive management of tree mortality. We used State and Transition modeling -- a technique popular with range land management -- to show how you can relate mortality events across the globe https://t.co/CcfpnfvH3Y

Here's a great starter position with FHP for those just finishing BS/MS programs in forest health: https://t.co/rxalynvtBN

A nice pathways opportunity for advanced undergraduates in forestry: https://t.co/4FnphsOO5o

Full disclosure: I was often the student Shapiro highlights, but for different reasons

[Richard Cobb @forestpathogens]

Pretty darn useful advice for undergraduates... and new professors: https://t.co/JdOonh7wIW

@noamross We're getting our second application of SODDr - a study of disease resistance vs tolerance - ready for submission. As said: super flexible

[Richard Cobb @forestpathogens]

@noamross See this SODDr model description and an example application: https://t.co/8x5i1m7UmK SODDr is flexible & easy to use, I hope is used more

[Richard Cobb @forestpathogens]

The issue includes the first publication on SODDr the @Noamross stage structured multi-host model https://t.co/7vWovYtsz8

[Richard Cobb @forestpathogens]

The issue covers the broad range of approaches and evaluation, ad-hoc, eradication, and designed experiments: https://t.co/HT3GMttscF https://t.co/Dukjx3CbJ0

Chris's work has done a tremendous amount to link plant epi and broader disease ecology -- solved a lot of practical problems also https://t.co/jDLbQDO58H

@PointReyesLight did a really high quality story on our Mt Tam restoration work:

@I_A_Dickie put together a great synthesis - working on this broadened my thinking and I hope reading it does the same for other folks! https://t.co/Llcwa3agRE
