Early Career Network is a friendly, interdisciplinary community of PhD students, post-docs, research associates, assistants and fellows. Early Career Network committee Co-Lead - Emily Simmonds I am a quantitative ecologist with an interest in understanding how biological systems are influenced by their environment. My work looks at forecasting how individuals and populations respond to weather and climatic changes. My approach focuses on methodological innovation and refinement, alongside ecological insight. I have a particular interest in improving how we quantify and communicate uncertainty.Email me Co-Lead - Amelia Penny I'm a palaeoecologist and macroecologist, interested in how living things change their environments, and how these changes feed back into ecosystems over the long term. I see the human-induced changes of the Anthropocene as a dramatic example of these feedbacks in action. My work investigates how biodiversity change progresses, at timescales ranging from decades to millions of years, and in a wide range of organisms - from marine invertebrates to terrestrial plants. I believe long-term perspectives can help to inform the ways we value and protect biodiversity for the future, particularly under long-term impacts such as climate change.Email me Events Officer - Nathan Medd Events Officer - Zishan (Sannie) Fu Mentoring Officer - Megan Thompson Mentoring Officer - Saimun Habib Public Engagement Officer - Niamh Gurrin Career Paths Officer - Diego Sanchez Ganfornina Industry Officer - Cammy Beyts Early Career Network committee This article was published on 2025-06-26
