In collaboration with Stephen Swallow (economist, URI) and several conservation groups in Orange
County (NROC, IRC, TNC) we are initiating a project "Sustainable solutions to cross thresholds and build
ecological resilience" funded by the USDA-NIFA Invasive Species Program.
Kudos!! Rebecca (PhD ’10) received an AAAS fellowship and Heather (PhD ’11) received the
Postdoctoral Fellowship in Integrative Biology at UT Austin. 
In collaboration with Bob Sinsabaugh (UMN) and Andrea Porras-Alfaro (WIU) we are initiating a project
"Dynamics of plant-soil feedbacks in changing environments" funded by NSF. We will address whether some
of the plant diversity decline often associated with N fertilization could be due to belowground microbial
interactions. 
Welcome to Joanna Hsu who joined us this fall as a PhD student.
Good luck to Lisa August-Schmidt who is starting grad school at UCSB this fall.
