Check my Twitter profile for a snap shot of the things which I’d like to talk\/inform about in my daily life:\u00a0https:\/\/twitter.com\/sMarten_Winter<\/a><\/p>\n

As head of sDiv I’m overseeing the research program in the synthesis centre here at iDiv. I’m closely working with the\u00a0sDiv board<\/a>\u00a0developing new funding ideas and collaboration strategies.
\nAs scientist, I together with the great Postdoc\u00a0Lirong Cai<\/a>\u00a0(still including my former postdoc, now being Ass Prof @ Univ Grenoble\u00a0Matthias Grenie<\/a>) form the\u00a0Macroecology of Plant Invasion<\/em>\u00a0group and are interested in different aspects (theory, diversity patterns and what drives them, functional & phylogenetic diversity etc) of plant invasions across different spatial scales. We are not only analysing and exploring macroecological patterns and trying to explain them we also develop workflows to do macroecological work more efficient, data gaps and how to fill them. We also work on general topics how different research communities should work closer together to tackle the grand challenges.<\/p>\n

When referring to my life as scientist, I sometimes describe myself as „Wildlife ecologist in macroecologists clothing with a species invasion cap and a macroevolutionary hanky who worked the last years also with plants.“<\/p>\n

But\u00a0 I’m also a science manager who sees huge potential to improve the links between research(ers) & administration & regulations supporting both\u00a0(e.g. one of my pet topics is the German law how to pay ppl who were on stipends before -> not fair compared to colleagues not on stipend but doing the same job). Due to my Synthesis Centre job I got also very much interested how to measure research impact and how science itself evolves. This includes the publication processes and how young researchers can be more visible and play a role in the science-policy arena etc.<\/p>\n
