Welcome

My first blog post

This is my first blog, so here goes nothing!

I plan to use this space to share posts covering a variety of topics ranging from reflections on recent research, teaching experiences, travel reflections, and some (hopefully) useful coding and teaching resources. Here is a bit more on what to expect:

Code & tutorials:

In my research, I have spent alot of time coding and learning new analyses, mostly in R/Rstudio. In this process, I have learned alot from forums, blogs, and other resources, and I plan to share some of this content (and hope it is useful).

Research:

I hope to use this space to reflect on my recent research experiences, and highlight new publications. I may also do some reflections on past field work (with alot of pictures).

Travel:

I’ve had the great privledge and opportunity to travel for both work and fun. The only time pick up my journal is during these trips, mostly so I can remember what I did, what I saw, on which trails I traveled, and where I camped. I plan to share some of these reflections here as well. Since travel has been put on hold for awhile (writing this in May 2020), I may dig up some of these old trips to share.

Postdoctoral Research Associate

My research aims to understand and forecast the response of vegetation to multiple environmental changes from the tree to biome scales. This ecological forecasting approach allows us make predictions about future vegetation, with the overall goal of managing systems for a resilient future.
