Brilliant day this week on the Tropical East Asian Savanna Network workshop- out on Salisbury Crags with the Global Grassy Group practicing ground layer data collection and loving the #grasses! @s-eshelman.bsky.social @wieczor.bsky.social @naomibschwartz.bsky.social @royalsoced.bsky.social

Can't get over the past two weeks in Kruger - met many fantastic savanna scientists, caught up with colleagues, did really exciting fieldwork, saw a leopard for the first time... Maybe I'd just skip getting robbed by baboons 🙃

"Tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas matter for biodiversity protection, and the future of this planet relies on these ecosystems to the same extent it relies on forests."

We have taught the science & methods of functional traits using #OpenScience on 7 courses (so far) to ~180 different students from 86 institutions & 30 countries. One of the most rewarding efforts I have been a part of. #PFTC alumni? ping @hilaryrosed.bsky.social to be added go.bsky.app/4T8pBZr

Excited to see everyone posting about science (again)! Short intro: I'm an ecologist/biogeographer fascinated by biodiversity & dynamics of open ecosystems—and a bit of a data science nerd. I'm currently doing a PhD at Edinburgh on herbaceous diversity patterns in African grasslands and savannas 🌾🔥

Some field observations and a lovely poem by @tanayanair.bsky.social reflecting our time collecting plants and microclimate data in a beautiful miombo mosaic 🌱🌦🌾
