Emily M. Booth

Fire ecology and forestry postdoc in the Sewall lab at Temple University. I enjoy: looking at plants, eating plants, burning plants.

Come find me at 4:20 in room 353, Temperate Forests II, to hear about the effects of mechanical thinning on broadleaf and evergreen trees! #esa2018 #forestry

[Emily M. Booth @mlebooth]

@Texosporium Oh hey I think I'm presiding your session! Can't wait to see your talk cuz #FireEcologyRulz

[Emily M. Booth @mlebooth]

@RallidaeRule *hugs* and *patience*

[Emily M. Booth @mlebooth]

@RallidaeRule Good luck with your talk in any case! Saw you're presenting immediately before mine so I might not make it.

[Emily M. Booth @mlebooth]

So sorry I'm missing so many great talks at #ESA2018! And also...4 days of #NOLA time, sniffle. My flight on Sat. was cancelled, will be flying in tomorrow instead. Enjoy the crisp coolness that southern LA in August is known for on my behalf, my friends!

[Emily M. Booth @mlebooth]

@BeckSamBar Ok, well I'll be wandering around the poster session on Wednesday, so hopefully I'll see you then!

[Emily M. Booth @mlebooth]

@BotanicalJesus @realDonaldTrump If only 'get a clue' were remotely a possibility 😭

[Emily M. Booth @mlebooth]

@krwedemeyer Umm did I just read my own story!? So similar it's scary, and I know actually really common. I will say: if you decide to leave, that's *fine*! Zero shame required. And if you stay, it gets soooo much better on the other side!

[Emily M. Booth @mlebooth]

@MelissaPetru Yup! First time in a few years, I don't usually do ESA anymore--mostly regional/fire-specific conferences, since I'm more into management than academia. But heading down on Saturday!

[Emily M. Booth @mlebooth]

@MelissaPetru That's good news! You don't happen to be going to ESA are you? I could see Britannica having a booth or something :)

@sandentotten Like a cumulus cloud, but caused by large fire. Same for pyrocumulonimbus! They're not a new phenomenon, but definitely becoming more frequent/getting more media attention with the bigger/hotter/more frequent fires we have now

[Emily M. Booth @mlebooth]

@sandentotten Yeah! Pyrocumulus clouds are formed by updraft, evaporating H2O from burning plants clings to condensation nuclei (ex. smoke particles), +O2 is pulled up, dragging more in from the bottom. They can cause new fires, but sometimes put themselves out w/ rain. V dangerous/awesome

@BeckSamBar @PlantLoveStory @SaraKuebbing See you there! 🌱

[Stephanie Kivlin @stephaniekivlin]

The Kivlin Lab is seeking graduate students @UTK_EEB. If you’ve always wondered about the controllers of microbial distributions and how microbial diversity links to function over space and time, this may be the lab for you! Please contact me to meet @#ESA2018!

@jumper_krazy I basically grew up *at* the library. Getting hitched in the library park of my youth in a few months, that's how much I love it. Library + Emily 4VR

[Emily M. Booth @mlebooth]

Soooo who else is going to #ESA2018, friends?? Looking forward to seeing some of my favorite nerds and Talking About Science <3
