We are excited to announce that the White Lab has been fortunate enough to receive a CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation. The grant, Advancing Macroecology Using Informatics and Entropy Maximization, will support efforts to simplify the study of macroecology by unifying the multitude of patterns that are traditionally studied, and will fund a suite of ecoinformatics initiatives intended to improve the ease with which all pertinent ecological data can be used to address questions of interest.
