New paper out - reduced genetic diversity of trees in cities may inadvertently skew traits like phenological timing pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

What a fun paper to work on with an amazing group of researchers! Out now in @NatureEcoEvo!

Read our latest paper highlighting long-term ecological research networks for evolutionary research! rdcu.be/dPLqx Out now in @NatureEcoEvo! This was a huge collaborative effort that I was fortunate enough to be a part of. Also led by @MeghanAvolio and...

@avamariehoffman, and lucky enough to work with an amazing group of scientists, including @ESA_Prez2013, @AlvaradoS_Lab, @jillthanderson, @treeFutures, @_lanabolin, @tbisrael70, @gbradburd, @HaleyABranch, @lars_brudvig, @chenyanniii, @Evodaveo, @DianaGamba, @mia_how,...

Our group is hiring a Research Technologist to contribute to lab and greenhouse activities for a diversity of tree genomics and conservation projects. Feel free to email to find out more! Great opportunity for BS or MSc! #ConservationGenetics psu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/PSU_Staf…

Multiple job posts open in our group! We are recruiting a postdoctoral scholar to contribute to research on adaptive introgression in Populus. #AdaptiveIntrogression Please RT psu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/PSU_Staf…

We’re looking for a technician to join our lab! Interested in speciation, plants, evolution, and genetics? Come join us! #jobDetails=2007076_5341" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sjobs.brassring.com/TGnewUI/Search…

We're proud to publish the research of these early-career scientists---@gauravsk_, @treeFutures, & @Lepidodendron---who submitted #AJB Synthesis articles for the #AJBsynthesis prize. A winner will be chosen shortly, but for now, check out these articles! bsapubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/toc/10.100…

Professor Xi Yang @geoxiyang was a coauthor on this recently published @NewPhyt paper, which uses a novel global dataset of leaf traits and spectra. Check it out!

Looking for a lab technician in the fall in my lab at UVA. Recent graduates please be in touch and apply via the link below! uva.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/UVAJobs/job/Ch…

Nonstructural carbohydrate dynamics' relationship to leaf development under varying environments Blumstein et al. @treeFutures @Evodaveo 📖 ow.ly/Z06y50Q12kX

Fun new paper from @treeFutures, me, and colleagues on the role played by non-structural carbohydrates in spring leaf-out. This is the first of (hopefully!) several papers on various dimensions of phenology in red oak nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

Our department has four awesome new faculty members, @treeFutures @pHred_cheng @AntoniosMamala2 & @JBRichardson10 -- they’re featured in yesterday's @UVA_College article! You can read about each person's impressive background & research interests here: as.virginia.edu/new-faculty-20…

I'm excited to join the faculty of Env. Sci. @uvaevsc and Architecture @UVA in Aug 2024! Please get in touch with me about prospective tech, graduate, and postdoc positions! more info here (blumsteinm.github.io) #AcademicTwitter #plantsci #newPI

Come join me in an awesome lab!

Thrilled to share that NSF IOS has funded my CAREER Award to expand our work on mechanisms of GxE in plants! It will also support me to develop a plant biology class, which (I believe) will be the first one offered here at MIT. (1/2) @NSF

@asaltyPhD and I wrote a commentary on Blumstein et al. 2023. Read the original: doi.org/10.1111/gcb.16… @treeFutures @Jess_Gersony

Very excited to share new work by the amazing @Haoran_Cai, assessing how environmental stress impacts transcriptional regulation in plants nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

Our paper is out! Check out our pandemic work updating a global database of NSC measurements and comparing patterns to climate
