I try to disentangle interactions between functional diversity and ecosystem function using #ecoevo vegetation models.

If you like trees, phenology, and population based genomic trait association studies, our new paper should be exactly what you’ve been wanting to read!

I have no idea what that is but it looks like you lost at Tetris.

That’s not fair, it’s too difficult to make cool acronyms then and a cool one is like 90% of the project.

Maybe we should dm soon. I noticed you’re looking to get diversity into your model and I’m looking to get my model into an ESM. Could be a win win.

Very strong!

Btw, I really like your implementation of source sink dynamics in QUINCY. I broke my soul trying to get the Thornley transport resistance model to work in mine. I gave up after a year. You must tell me what the trick is sometime!

I guess it wouldn’t ever make a lot of sense to have such similar skill sets in one department 😞

It does indeed.

Ahh…”strong” field skills and expertise in collection based science πŸ˜”

I might be in with a shot if it said strong field skills for a vegetation modeler and has seen a herbarium πŸ˜†

I made a list (or 'starter pack') of Land Surface Modelers, because that's the kind of thing one does on #bluesky. Please tell your friends and also (v. important) TELL ME if you want to be added. We need more people here! go.bsky.app/Mw4tJ3t

Cutting 2nd year PhD students from NSF #GRFP applications is devastating. Here's my GRFP story: 🧡As a first-gen student, I didn't know what the GRFP was when I got accepted to a PhD program. I was 34, had 3 kids, and left a six-figure job for $18k/yr TA stipend. By the start of my second year (1/7)
