In this class the students learn the whole process: developing the hypotheses, sampling, measuring, analysing, and writing. We even want to submit the manuscript together with the students 💪

Extinction of experience among ecologists
Fieldwork-based research and education in ecology are under multiple threats and are progressively declining. We call for greater attention to this ongoing loss of direct field experience within the ecology community, as it could have widespread consequences for science and education, ultimately hindering efforts to address the ongoing biodiversity crisis.

When I started my PhD, I thought we were the only crazy ecologists out there. Why? Because we transplanted 1m² alpine communities downslope to study climate change effects. Imagine thousands of plants and tons of soil flying over the French Alps 😅
