Postdoc opportunity in plant microbiomes in Johan Leveau's lab. recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF06470

Johan is awesome and I think the UC Davis Plant Pathology department is pretty great

I am pleased to share a series of novel hypotheses concerning chemically mediated plant-plant interactions science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

The effects of elephants on Botswana’s landscape are absolutely nuts. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ecosystem so thoroughly abused by any non-human animal.

This is what places like Texas and Florida might look like if people never showed up! 🐘

Had a great week kicking off our Japan - S Africa - Kenya drought microbiome collaboration in lovely Botswana!

Collecting examples of well-designed posters (ie mostly images and figures, little text) for students in the lab - anyone have good examples? Is there a database of good EEB posters anywhere? E.g. this 👌 one by Emily Austen that I've had saved since my PhD

The Response Diversity workshop at OIST, organized by Dr Sam Ross and Owen Petchey with the strong support of the OIST Visiting Program Team (led by Jonas Fischer), was a fantastic experience! I deeply appreciate their efforts. It was wonderful to see all the participants at the workshop!!

Thank you to everyone who attended my talk in Yokohama the other day.

このような機会を与えていただいたことに感謝しています。 日本のエコロジカルサイエンスをサポートできるよう、全力を尽くしたいと思います！

New poster by Nonno Hasegawa just dropped! #ESJ71

Please share: Our 2024-25 RaMP postbac scholars program is now open for applications. If you (or anyone you know) recently graduated and are interested in microbiome research but didn’t have the opportunity to engage in meaningful research during your degree, check us out!!

How does selection from environmental gradients influence the eco-evo dynamics of range expansions? With Amy Angert, we use the experimental evolution of duckweeds to test some theoretical predictions on expansion speed. Out now in Ecology Letters!
