Hey tweeps!👋I'm a quantitative #ecologist & #PhD student at @MichiganStateFW @EEB_MSU with Dr. Jianguo Jack Liu 🐼, & got tons of❤️for @KBSLTER & @RLadiesELansing. I develop new #conservation tools & study human effects on #species #distributions.👩💻More: bit.ly/vfbio

📢Hear ye! Hear ye! New paper alert!📢 "It takes a village to raise a science communicator." I use the metaphor of a medieval village to describe the resources, personnel, and institutions required to succeed in #outreach and #scicomm. Check it out here ➡️ bit.ly/villagesci

What an honor for our @NatureEcoEvo article to be seen as part of scientists' decades-long journey towards understanding species range shifts in our changing world. 🌏 Merci, Mediapart, de m'avoir interviewée! Our covered paper is found here: bit.ly/humsdm

PhD Candidate @vffrans and advisor Jianguo "Jack" Liu published an analysis in @NatureEcoEvo that shows #humans are being neglected in species distribution modeling. They also show a way forward. bit.ly/humsdm

Human impact? SDM? Right down my alley! Looking forward to reading this! Rewiew of 12k studies sounds insane😱

🥳My 1st PhD chapter is out in @NatureEcoEvo!! "Gaps and opportunities in modelling human influence on species distributions in the Anthropocene." I did a massive systematic review of >12k #sdm articles & found only 11% use human predictors in SDMs.😮 bit.ly/humsdm 🧵1/

This is one of my greatest achievements as a PhD student. 🥲 It took lot of work and many years, and I'm so grateful for all the support and encouragement from my advisor Jack Liu 🐼, @ChrisKlausmeier, and so many others at @MichiganStateFW @KBSLTER @EEB_MSU ❤️🥰

1,429 articles used human predictors in SDM training. Collectively, they modeled the distributions of >58k species using 2,307‼️ unique human predictors. This means that compared to environmental predictors, there is no 'rule of thumb' for human predictor selection in SDMs. 🫣 2/

What's also interesting is that there were mismatches between study and human predictor time frames--especially in future forecasts. Nearly half the articles projecting to future climates held human predictors constant over time.🧐But why?🤔Find out here!➡️bit.ly/humsdm

While other SDG text-mining tools exist, our tools differ because they're based on #regex patterns instead of #MachineLearning. This makes our method more transparent, replicable, controllable and adjustable. We're the first to mine at the SDG target level with high accuracy. 3/4
