This Wisconsin-endangered ornate box turtle (𝘛𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘢) was a nice #WorldTurtleDay surprise while surveying prairies

It's been quite a year- I got the NSF GRFP, got married, and moved to a new state! So excited to expand the scope of my research to water, herbivores, and plant community dynamics across the tall grass prairie region

Please send this form to your graduate student friends in other universities! The more data we have the better the public database will be! PIs, post-docs, give this form to your graduate students! Sit down and help them fill it out! Thanks!

Hey. Faculty. Pull up a chair. Let’s talk about relationships with students.

Talking about grassland granivory, nutrients, and climate-herbivore interactions at the North American Prairie Conference #NAPC2023

Thank you to everyone who watched my talk and/or cheered me on from afar! Very happy to say more people now know what the heck an alvar is. (Also, it is very hard to see but I wore amazing spider web heels.)

It's that time of year again for my favorite mycoheterotroph! It has seen a frightening uptick in popularity with amateur foragers online. Is there any good research or advice from traditional knowledge holders out there to share with them?

It's NSF GRFP season! Applications are due in October. Here is a link to a Google Sheet with essays from many successful applicants. #AcademicChatter docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

Something profound from my SACNAS session: “How can we expect students to learn without joy?” and “Students shouldn’t have to become someone else in order to be successful in STEM”

Flying back to MI now and really hoping that my institution sees how valuable SACNAS can be for our students.

Met so many amazing students and mentors at #NDiSTEM2023 with MSU Plant Biology pals. Excited to bring SACNAS back to MSU!
