In addition to our three awesome @esa-sw.bsky.social events tomorrow (Wed Aug 12), two of my lab members will be presenting some of our first lab research findings!
Come check them out! #ecophys #southwest #ESA2025

Come find the @esa-sw.bsky.social at #esa2025!!

Official Aparecido Lab photo unlocked!! These people make work feel less like work every day ❤️ @uofubiology.bsky.social #plantecophys #universityofutah

And it’s a wrap!! My 1st semester (ever) teaching is now over, and it was actually quite great! Looking forward to many more years teaching Ecosystem Ecology 👩🏻‍🏫… but also glad to be able to focus on research again! 😅

We had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Kevin Hultine (@hultinelab.bsky.social) for his 3rd visit to our lab at the U!
Thanks Kevin for our your valuable contributions to our lab, especially mentoring my now PhD Candidate @rebeccasenft.bsky.social (uhul!), and expanding our riparian ecophys research!

A busy day for the Aparecido lab! @biancazorger.bsky.social taught my Ecosystem Ecology class on warming effects on ecosystems. Later, lab undergrads, Tucker (mentored by @rebeccasenft.bsky.social) and Sydney, presented on their ug research at the College of Science res symp. Proud of this crew!! 😎🤩

Fun day giving a seminar talk at the Earth Sciences department at Utah Valley University (UVU). Thank you for the invitation, @coleoptara.bsky.social!! 😊

Happy holidays from the Aparecido Lab!!

Wishing everybody successful field seasons, significant statistical results and grant money in 2025! 🎄🎉

Rebecca survived her first AGU poster presentation!
I couldn’t be there (yes, so much FOMO), but the lab is very much well represented through her and her research 🎉👏🏽👏🏽 Congrats, @rebeccasenft.bsky.social !!

Also, major shout out to lab members Dr. Bianca Zorger and Rebecca Senft for bringing the students along into their respective projects. You two were crucial in their success this year, and also in moving the lab forward! THANK YOU!

Excited for what 2025 has in store for us! 💪🏼🎉

As we close the semester and 2024, I want to acknowledge the amazing work of the undergrads in our lab.
Lucy, Sydney, Tucker, Brandt and Cindy have been outstanding! As students that had no prior research experience, they learned quickly and pulled thru in presenting… (1/3)

Our lab is recruiting a summer 2025 undergrad researcher to study the gradient of thermotolerance across plants in Utah! This is a fully funded opportunity through the SPUR program here at the U.

Please share with your students that love plants and science! 🍃☀️👩🏻‍💻👨🏽‍🔬

For folks attending #AGU24, our lab has its 1st conference poster presentation led by PhD student Rebecca Senft! @RebeccaSenft

Stop by her poster on the morning of Tues Dec10 to learn about the ecohydrology of contrasting riparian tree species (invasive vs native) in SE Utah. #ecophys #invasion
