Wanna know what it's *really* like being in #academia? Or how everyone has a different path there? Or how I almost didn't even get here? Hat tip to Elana M. Gloger, PhD (she/her) for letting me tell my story. Oh, and for letting me complain about ALL THE EMAILS that come with a faculty gig.

Applications for the Spectral Ecology Summer School (specschool) are now open (thru Dec 23rd). If you are or know of a grad student or postdoc interested in learning more about ecological #remotesensing, please apply! specschool.org/participate.ht… & please RT

Without this undergraduate research project at Luther College there's ZERO chance I get to where I am today. The importance of undergraduate opportunities like this CAN NOT be understated.

Being a #scientist isn't always glamorous or sterile. Dr. David Coyle gets down and dirty while hunting for the #endangered American #buryingbeetle for an undergraduate project. 🐞 Listen to his delightfully #gross story on the #podcast this week! 🎧ow.ly/3IAi50Lt7YR

Makani Fisher and species distribution models for inferring diet interactions

This week, I received the Richard L. Kohl’s Outstanding Early Career Teaching Award from Purdue Agriculture. Thank you for the support from my students, colleagues, the college and my department Purdue Entomology

Finally!🎉 Thanks especially to Elizabeth French, PhD for all the analysis help! nature.com/articles/s4159…

Purdue’s Integrated Digital Forestry Initiative is an example of the multidisciplinary collaboration that sets Purdue apart from our land-grant peers. Learn about how Purdue fulfills its land-grant charge by responding to society’s most pressing issues: purdue.university/3iWf7gf

Happy to be part of the Digital Forestry team! We have four Research Professor positions coming up soon. Hope more of you can join us!

Excited to announce that we have four positions open in Research Assistant Professor of Digital Forestry! We welcome talents from all relevant disciplines. Please share and retweet! careers.purdue.edu/job/West-Lafay…

Kennedy seals it with a win at No. 4! 💪

Congrats to Ellie for a successful MS defense! Great job! Looking forward to continue working with you for your PhD on SLF in the fall with Purdue FNR!

We are hiring a postdoc to work on the urban ecology of invasive pests and host-plant phenology. Please RT! iecolab.org/blog/2023/05/p… #ecology #phenology #openscience #opendata #ecologicalforecasting #invasivespecies #spottedlanternfly #winelover #wine #outreach #postdoc #job

Advertising for a postdoc for work with proximal and remote sensing data to examine invasive insect movement and climate resilient tree breeding. More info at couturelabpurdue.weebly.com/opportunities.… Email [email protected] with questions and interests!

We have some pretty tall #hemp plants this year.

Y’all! I’ll be on #GreenandGrowing with Ashley Frasca in the 8 o’clock hour. It’s a live call-in show…wonder what tree health and #invasivespecies questions we’ll get?

Do you have a PhD with expertise in some combination of plant pest and pathogen biology, tree physiology, forest health, remote sensing, and spectroscopy? You might be perfect for our Postdoc position in proximal and remote sensing of forest health. ag.purdue.edu/department/fnr…

Please join us today at 10 am EST for Ms. Lena Schmitt's defense seminar on the #invasivespecies ALB! Lena investigated beetle phenology in a novel climate (South Carolina). The seminar is free and open to anyone, zoom link is: clemson.zoom.us/j/94583000444
