#TeamAsh representing landscape and conservation genomics at the Tree Species in Peril meeting at the beautiful Holden Arboretum. Major applied research efforts in breeding, conservation, and outreach to restore our foundational trees long term ⁦Kyra LoPiccolo⁩ ⁦⁦

I'm looking for two new postdocs excited to leverage multi-omic techniques to understand plant-microbe interactions. Fungal culturing experience is a plus but not required.

Congratulations!! to Kyra LoPiccolo for receiving an Honorable Mention for her U.S. National Science Foundation #GRFP application!! I am so excited for the ash conservation genetics research you proposed and to have you continue to embody the Lorax in your impactful work ‘speaking for the trees’ #ProudPI

Thanks so much ⁦Meghan Blumstein⁩ for the wonderful visit to ⁦Harvard Forest!! It was so much to see the field station and the amazing resources available and to scheme new exciting interdisciplinary research ideas! So excited for your many new upcoming adventures!!

We're hiring a Quantitative Biologist in Ecosystem Resilience and casting a very wide net in terms of research area. We're a fun and collaborative department. I'd be happy to try to answer any questions.

We have a new R package with methods for fitting hierarchical Bayesian genomic cline models (and other models) designed to better scale to larger data sets and better estimate cline variances: see github.com/zgompert/bgc-hm and biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Super proud of this new paper out, several years in the making! We find that earlier #flowering benefits plant reproduction, but only to a point - #fitness still declines dramatically under #climatechange conditions Megan DeMarche
