Probably the most extreme growing situation for Erigeron annuus that I’ve seen. There can’t be anything resembling soil up there. Good motivation to continue our work on #urbanevolution of #invaders

Back in Croatia for another round of our study abroad program about food and global change plus research on #urbanevolution. Found some beautiful new roads thanks to a chance meeting with a new friend Vanja.

Finished setting up a big new field experiment in Kentucky testing the effects of plant invasion, resources, and microbiome on disease transmission to hemp. #EEID

Sketching some research ideas with PhD student Yukti Taneja. Makes sense, right?

Postdoc Seokmin Kim is tackling data analysis on our longer-term experiment where we’ve manipulated invasion x drought x fire over nearly a decade. 27 sampling points over time for 40 plots and 12 subplots, and evaluating all native and non-native species turns out to be a lot of data!

Two new postdoc positions open in disease ecology at the Univ of Florida!
Apply to join our exciting interdisciplinary project evaluating how invasive plants may act as conduits for the spread of pathogens from natural to agroecosystems.

One of many wildlife overpasses on the highway from Zagreb to the coast in Croatia. Very cool to see, especially for a country with a relatively small economy.

Field research by bike really is the best combo of fun and efficiency. This pic from a couple weeks ago when I was collecting seed from our rural sites for our project on urban evolution of invasive species.
