Our 5th Plant Functional Traits Course #PFTC5 will be held at #Wayqecha, #Peru this March (bit.ly/2Rn33nU). Follow @PFTCourse to keep up w/ activities on this & future courses! Prof. Vigdis Vandvik @bjenquist Dr. Aud Halbritter @m_maciasfauria Dr. Brian S. Maitner @SandraM_Duran @RagnhildGya

We are glad you enjoyed the lecture this morning, Sara L Middleton! This morning's lecture slides are available at doi.org/10.6084/m9.fig…, and slides from all PFTC5-Peru are at pftc5peru.wordpress.com.

Have you ever heard about the #traitwheel? It's a "method" to measure standardized #functionaltraits we use on our #PFTC courses. This is part of a presentation to explain the students each step, all the mistakes we made and what we learned and how we improved the process.

Check out the new Open Traits paper in Nature Ecology and Evolution. In this manuscript, we discuss the importance of #OpenScience practices for trait-based science, and outline ways to accelerate the synthesis of trait data across the tree of life. nature.com/articles/s4155…

From Iceland to the Andes - what a change of scenery! Greatly enjoyed strolling around #Cuzco & meeting everyone from Plant Functional Traits Courses - looking forward to dive into the #traits matter from tomorrow! #PFTC5

Thanks, Sehoya Cotner , for the #scicomm and survey design discussion as part of the functional trait course! #traittrain #PFTC5
