First and foremost, we had more than 20 wonderful participants at #YoMos2024, ranging from Bachelor- to #PhD- level #students all modelling #ecological systems. Everyone had the chance to present their projects and methods and we had vivid question+discussion rounds afterwards. Although #YoMos seems like a niche group already, we heard about a bandwidth of methods including mechanistic #eco(-evo)-models, #SDMs, #climate and vegeation models, network models, #Machinelearning, #AI and much more.
Oh, look who joined the mastodon community! Follow @YoMosEco for PhD positions, conferences, workshops, jobs and all sort of stuff relevant to Young Modellers in Ecology!
Recently, my team started growing, so all of a sudden it makes sense to organise regular team meetings, just like a grown-up PI. Our most recent meeting took place today and I felt so proud. What a nice bunch of people. And so many interesting research projects! 🤩
How did this happen?
Big shoutout to the organisers of the #YoMos workshop. I had a wonderful week full of inspiring talks and discussions. If you ever get the chance to attend this meeting, don’t think twice, you won’t regret it!!
Since #YoMos is not on Mastodon, you will get the advertisement from me :D if you are a #Bachelor/ # Master/ #PhD level student of #ecological#modelling or you supervise any, this is perfect! You get to present your project in a conference-like setting, but your audience are your peers! Big bonus for #mathematical modelling this year: The awesome @KorinnaAllhoff will give a keynote, and I will probably give a workshop on #pattern#formation in #networks!

It's not official yet, but there will be a vacancy in my #ecoevo#modelling team starting early next year for at least 3 years. It's 50% university funded and open for either a PhD student or a postdoc. More info will follow soon - but you are of course welcome to get in touch now in case you are interested! 😉
