and Susan Harrison. Please check it out if you are interested in climate change and biodiversity.
Super excited to see this in press at
@GlobalChangeBio
! Through lab meetings at
@robgural
, we conducted this project to look at how start, end, and duration of plant flowering
#phenology
change over space; and how they will change in the future.
Multiple studies found that local diversity has not declined but communities are different overtime. What are the trends of local diversity and spatial regional diversity? See our latest paper here

NSF Postdoc Research Fellowship is due December 6 this year! I'd love to work with underrepresented ecologists to develop a proposal! DM or email me if you are interested in biodiversity, phenology, species interactions, and data science!
I put together a small
#rstats
package to calculate taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity through Hill numbers. Feel free to use and test it.
Great book by Tony Ives about mixed and phylogenetic models for correlated data and more. Consider buy Tony a coffee when you download this awesome free book!!
Missing

this year. If you are interested in how plant communities, biodiversity, and plant functional traits including phenology change in responses to global changes, please get in touch. I am looking for a postdoc and 1-2 graduate students next year at
@LSU_BioSci
Lab website is online! The design was heavily inspired by others including
@poisotlab
@edamschen
@xieyihui
etc. It is still in the beta stage, comments are welcome!
Pretty excited to go to

#ESA2020
During the
#ESA2020
presentation by
@NSF
DEB, program officers mentioned that more
#postdoctoral
fellowships in Biology may be funded this year and next to help early career researchers bridge the gap caused by
#COVID19
.
Excited to share this paper; lots of unanswered questions to follow up! Urbanization delays plant leaf senescence and extends growing season length in cold but not in warm areas of the Northern Hemisphere
@robgural
@BaiserLab
We will look for graduate students and postdocs soon. If you are interested in working with us together, please reach out! Read more about our lab here
#ESA2024

I fall badly from my bike this morning to avoid a suddenly appeared car. I was on a down slope and suddenly the car appeared; I used my front brake as I did not have time to think. Then my bike and I flipped 360° in the air and fall. Fortunately I only had scratches, but scaring!
We are hiring a
#postdoc
($65k/yr) with skills such as ontology development, deep learning, dataset management to help us build Phenobase! Please RT and spread the words, thanks!!
Spend almost a whole day to collect biomass, measure light, and disturb soil! Things always take longer than expected, even with these awesome tools. Still need to remove roots later. Ecological data are not easy to collect even though they may seem so on papers!

Exclusive: The Times has obtained tax-return data for President Trump extending over more than two decades.
It shows his finances under stress, beset by losses that he aggressively employs to avoid paying taxes and hundreds of millions in debt coming due.
The total number of observations on
@inaturalist
has not declined because of
#COVID19
; the rate has and the gap between weekdays and weekend is narrowing. I guess I am not the only one who doesn't know which day is it today.
Had a fantastic first day of
#sGUBIK
workshop at
@idiv
despite the bad jet lag. Lots of good productive discussions, met some new colleagues, and really looking forward to making progress in the rest of this week.
Hopefully we will be fine… highest wind speed here will be 100km per hour (>60 mph) and we are right on the path center of
#hurricanida
. One thing for sure is that hurricane will be more frequent and stronger with global warming.
Self quarantine at home after knowing that I am a close contact of a positive
#COVID19
case today. The contact happened about 8 days ago. Stay cautious and Happy New Year, everyone!
People say that publishing a book chapter is like writing a paper and bury it deep in the soil. Well, I hope this upcoming chapter can be visible and useful ...
NSF Postdoc Fellowship in Biology is due Nov. 18th. If you are interested in biodiversity, community ecology, plant phenology, urban ecology and want to apply for it, let's get in touch and chat about ideas!
A small
