🌱 New paper in Diversity & Distributions! We show that European alpine plants remain largely stable despite warming, with abundance shifts varying regionally. Seed traits offer limited power to predict “winners” & “losers,” highlighting the need for long-term monitoring. 📖 doi.org/10.1111/ddi....

🌊 Rising seas threaten Danish coastal plants—increased salinity hampers germination, and limited dispersal prevents migration. Congrats to @TanjaLazic on defending her excellent MSc thesis! 🎉 Rigorous data, complex stats, and sharp insights. Wishing you all the best! 👏

All of NIH funding to Northwestern University is frozen. This pause includes noncompeting approved funding, new and competing grants with fundable scores. No reimbursements for money already spent have been received since March. This situation is rarely reported so please Please get the word out!

Yesterday, for fun, I re-analyzed a chapter of my PhD thesis using an AI platform. What once took me 4 months - textbooks, forums, emailing package devs - I did in just 2 hours. The future is now. 🚀 #DataScience #AI #rstats #AcademicTwitter

The Natural History Museum Denmark is hiring a new Tenure-Track Assistant Professor and Curator of (Vertebrate) Palaeontology! Could it be you or someone you know‽ spread the word! Really excited to have a new colleague to work on our amazing collections! 🧪🏛️ candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationI...

Rising seas threaten Denmark’s coastal plants. Our MSc student Tanja Lazic studies seed tolerance & dispersal to uncover which species can adapt or migrate. Her work supports restoration, green infrastructure, & flood management. Let’s protect, restore, & work with nature.

Imagine how much better academia could be if those in power genuinely embraced two simple phrases: 'You were right' and 'I’m sorry my mood influenced my reaction.' A little humility goes a long way.

Exploring the future of teaching in our department at an incredible zoological museum. Students, get ready for an exciting lineup of courses over the next two years! 🚀📚 #Education #PLEN #KU

Today, our very own Sigrid Hyldegaard Djernæs will defend her MSc thesis, which explores whether cattle grazing can promote biodiversity in Danish coastal meadows.

3 years into my first faculty job, I was thrilled about the new career opportuniteis. What I didn’t expect was how little time I’d spend on actual research. Yesterday, I set up 2 small experiments to test a new method. Spending half a day in the lab felt amazing!

🌿 Thrilled to have hosted Margherita Tognela, a PhD student from @UniPavia, last autumn! Her work on plant traits helping alpine species survive climate change is groundbreaking. Plus, she’s uncovering how tundra fires impact Arctic plant regeneration - stay tuned for her findings! #AlpineEcology

🌿 Our MSc student Magnus is studying how alpine plants in Abisko, Sweden, respond to climate change. By comparing historical & recent data + functional traits, they’re uncovering which plant strategies thrive in warming alpine environments. #PlantEcology #ClimateChange

Submit your application by 11:59 PM PST -- TODAY is the final day to apply for the Summer '25 Girls* on Ice Canada expeditions! Don't miss out!

I find it inspiring that, over the next 90 minutes, I’ll be sharing ecological knowledge built by past generations with the next.

Ich meine das mit dem Aufruf zum Wählen übrigens ernst. Laut Forsa könnten wir 28% (!) Nicht-Wähler_innen haben. Liebe Wissenschaftler_innen, liebe Wissenschaftsinstitutionen: Euch hören viele zu. Erinnert sie, wie wichtig Wählen ist. Für unsere Demokratie. & ermuntert sie, Botschaft weiterzutragen!

Why aren't more researchers publishing in society journals? Two potential reasons: 1) They're often unfamiliar to early-career researchers, and 2) they need better promotion, a task for all of us.

Dark and cold outside, but our Arctic seeds are thriving, germinating beautifully on our custom-built thermogradient table! 🌱❄️
