Brilliant @AlienImpacts workshop exploring synergies between our invasion work and @NutNet expertly led by @JaneCatford & Maria A. Perez-Navarro, feat. Harry Shepherd @urban_sci @e_seabloom Elizabeth Borer Sophia Carmel Turner (+Billy the lab lab), with discussion, 'walkshops' and pub trips!

Wonderful talks by Matthias C. Rillig on the big picture effects of microplastics in the soil, and Dr. Taru Sandén on soil monitoring using SoilPlastic (the iNat for plastic in the soil) ➡️ MINAGRIS: Impacts of plastic debris on soil health Thanks British Society of Soil Science for organising!

Chuffed to have received funds to explore the cascading effects of plant neighbors on above-belowground interactions UT Graduate School UTK EEB

We are hiring a South African postdoc, working on invasion in the fynbos with remote sensing technology ✈️🛰️, as part of @nasa_bioscape. Join our awesome team including Alanna Rebelo, Laura Dee @lauradee.bsky.social, Katharine Suding @carBenPoulter and Peter Adler. ➡️drive.google.com/file/d/1tyR0oI…

This was such a wonderful experience, I’m so glad it’s still part of the course!

Last week I saw the destructive effect of the #emeraldashborer for the first time. I’m still in shock! #invasion #invasivespecies #invasionimpact

Honored to have received the The Division of Biology, University of Tennessee teaching award! The past 4 years of teaching have been a joy, and gave me a special window into the life of Tennesseans. Now for a year ahead of research and writing! #phdlife #utk #teaching #awardseason #research #science

Awesome paper by @hybridActinop et al. - fish know rocks! Worth a read for those interested in diversification in mountainous areas, fish, the smokies. Just read it, it’s cool.

Opportunities for #African #scientists are few and far between. If you’re into #populationdynamics #conservation #Africanresearch and have lab openings, contact Orou Gaoue

Awesome theoretical paper, nice work Athma! UTK EEB

So excited to be establishing a network for Quantitative Ecology in Africa in a symposium @ICCB2023 Kigali, Rwanda. 26 July 10:15am-1:30pm (CAT) in venue MH3. This idea started @ISEC2022 and now we’re taking the leap #QuantitativeEcologyAfrica I can’t wait!!

Great #EAA2023 talk by Shannon Bayliss (she/her)! Hyperspectral imaging of tropical forest canopies by Shannon Bayliss (she/her). Shoutout to UTK EEB family

About to go put ~400 root and hyphal ingrowth cores in the ground to measure tree species and mycorrhizal diversity in soil carbon allocation!

🚨NB paper for community ecologists: controlling for effects of environmental availability when testing effects of environment on composition. Congrats Toby Tsang!

Neat paper by UTK EEB brilliant alum, Jacob Moutouama!

We are looking for a pre/postdoctoral candidate to work in invasion #culturomics in the EEZA-CSIC! Are you interested in using online digital data to study #biologicalinvasions? Would you like to live in the beautiful town of #Almeria (S of Spain)? If so, please, contact me! 🤩

Are you a non-academic with a wide network of practitioner colleagues who wants to contribute to sharing information across the academic-practitioner divide? Come work with us!

Congrats and very well deserved!
