This was such a fun collaboration! 🎉 We just published a paper on creative approaches to science communication. Check out what we learned from our workshop! #scicomm @esalatamcarib.bsky.social @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Science communication is at the heart of why I love doing in science. Take a look at this paper we published on a workshop we did on effective ways of doing science communication across multiple settings. @esalatamcarib.bsky.social esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

✨ I’m incredibly excited to share that I’ve started a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez campus, as part of the RAÍCES project (Resilience and ActIon - Climate Research and its Effects on Society). #PuertoRico #ClimateAction #Resilience #CommunityEngagement

✨Exactly one week ago, I defended my PhD thesis✨ It has been a long and challenging journey, but also one full of adventures, growth, and friendships that I will carry with me forever. I couldn’t have imagined a better place or a better community to share this stage of my life. 🌍

Our new publication is out in Ecology and Evolution! Five years after powerful hurricanes reshaped Puerto Rico’s forests, we found that moth communities bounced back, showing surprising resilience but continued change as ecosystems recover. 🦋 Check it out!: go.uvm.edu/ztrjy

Moth Communities Reveal High Stability Despite Ongoing Compositional Shifts Over Five Years Following Hurricane Disturbance

We examined the temporal dynamics and ecological stability of tropical forest moth communities using a unique dataset spanning 6 months before and up to 5 years after two extreme hurricanes. While ab....

Presenting over six years of research was a highlight, but what truly moved me was being at a conference where presentations were delivered in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and even French. ¡Que viva la diversidad cultural de #ATBC2025! 🌎🗣️✨

✨ Made it to Oaxaca for #ATBC2025! I’m here to talk moths, hurricanes, and resilience, while wearing moth overalls, of course 🦋. Catch my poster: “Temporal dynamics of tropical forest moth communities following hurricane disturbance” 📅 Tuesday, July 1 🕑 2:50–3:50 PM 📍 Section D

Honored to share my publication on how rainforest moth communities in Puerto Rico responded to back-to-back hurricanes Irma and María. I began this project eight years ago, and it’s incredibly exciting to finally see it out in the world! 🦋 🔗 go.uvm.edu/waf2l #MothEcology #Biodiversity #PuertoRico

For Puerto Rico's insects, hurricanes aren't new-but how do moth communities change when back-to-back severe storms hit & climate change intensifies them? Grad Fellow Aura Alonso-Rodríguez & colleagues take a nuanced look at hurricane-driven shifts in rainforest moth biodiversity: go.uvm.edu/waf2l

When asked to draw a scientist, school-age kids in the United States are increasingly sketching women, according to a study from 2018. Read more on #WomenInScienceDay: https://scim.ag/4hOUuvx

On #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience let me remind you that we are NOWHERE NEAR parity. A few examples. 1. Women are credited less in science than men. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Women are credited less in science than men - Nature

The difference between the number of men and women listed as authors on scientific papers and inventors on patents is at least partly attributable to unacknowledged contributions by women scientists.
