Congratulations ⁦@ak__lee⁩ on an incredible honors thesis talk and defense on #honeysuckles in the age of #genomics. Standing room only! ⁦TCNJ School of Science⁩ #undergradresearch #fuseylonicera #puiplantresearch

This is real and it is amazing 😂

An eye opening paper. I have used thousands of historical specimens and never put thought into how much enslaved and indigenous people contributed to these collections. I'm this is being acknowledged, but we have lots of work to do!

Excited to announce I will be starting my PhD in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at UMass Amherst this fall! I’ll be studying plant invasions, climate change, and plant conservation! Special thanks to my friends, family, and especially my mentors for helping me get here!

The Northeast Regional Climate Adaptation Science Symposium takes place via Zoom on 10/26 & 10/27. Register now at necasc.umass.edu/symposium!

There's only one day left to register for the Northeast Regional Climate Adaptation Science Symposium, which will be held 10/26 & 10/27 via Zoom. More info at necasc.umass.edu/symposium.

Really frustrating the Natural Resources Conservation Service PLANTS database has been non-functional for months. This resource is crucial for so many ecologists' research. If anyone has previously downloaded the USDA nativity status for all native/introduced plant species in the L48 please reach out to me!

Super excited for this yrs symposium & the first marine session - I have the privilege to be moderating! Can't wait to share who our speakers are! My marine twitter folks, register & get this on your cal ASAP! #marinescience #marineinvasives #gulfofmaine #invasive #climatechange

Excited (& nervous!) about my 1st in-person covid-era conference next week #ESA2022 Will you be there? Catch my talk (Monday 3:45, Invasion 2) featuring new #InvasionEcology research. Spoiler: this talk has no 🦎but some sweet pretty maps! 🗺

Pit stop at Lake George on the way to #ESA2022. If you’re interested in #invasivespecies, #gardens and/or #climatechahge come to my talk on Tuesday at 1:30pm 🌱 ☀️

Excited to be presenting about a newly assembled dataset of historical nursery sales at #ESA2022. Come learn more Wednesday at 8AM!

Climate science can be dense, but it doesn't have to be! The Northeast RISCC Network, led by NE CASC Codirector Bethany Bradley, has created a variety of outreach materials that clarify the connection between the dual threats of climate change & invasive species: bit.ly/3SiPYZO

NEW DATA ALERT🚨: Since 2017, collaborators and I have been cobbling together all the data we can find on #invasiveplant abundance. That collated dataset is finally live!

Congratulations to Matthew Fertakos on being awarded a NSF Graduate Research Fellowship! #nsfgrfp Matt is pursuing a PhD in the Organismic and Evolutionary Biology program, supervised by ECo faculty member Bethany Bradley instagr.am/p/CrtEXlPOCI_/ ift.tt/9I1xZAs #UMassA…

We compiled & cleaned historical #horticulture data to inform studies of past & contemporary #plantdistributions, including introduction histories of #invasivespecies. Now available! doi.org/10.1002/ecy.41… (1/3)
