#Introduction time, now that I've moved to fediscience.org from the #TwitterMigration.

I'm a research scientist broadly trained in #Ecology & #Evolution, specifically studying #Plant #Soil #Microbe interactions in #TemperateHardwoodForests. I also dabble in other areas, including #Rstats, #Bioinformatics, #MolecularBiology, and #SpatialStats.
