We had a lovely time tabling at Blue Innovation today! Nothing better than spending an afternoon next to the ocean talking about our research 🌞👩‍🔬@kballare Ciara Wanket Merly Escalona Chloé Orland

Take a break from the everyday! Join us tomorrow in the parking lot of Pinto Lake County Park!

Last week we had the honor of visiting with our very own CA Senator Laird to tell him about our work and our vision. What a day! #SciComm #edna Beth Shapiro Chloé Orland @kballare @bi0_r0me0

🚨New paper PNASNews! So proud of team effort 2+ years in making (pre-COVID) that marks major new direction for our research group. TL;DR: Viruses have big effects on carbon cycling by killing bacteria and harbouring genes that change their metabolism🧵 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Meet our wonderful team and advisory board. We are dedicated to building excellent ag-scientific capacity and supporting a cadre of African scientists to drive breakthrough solutions aimed at ending hunger and malnutrition in African nations. Learn more at jrbiotekfoundation.org/our-team/

A fellowship has been created in honor of my dear friend & colleague Sarah, the best kind of scientist you’ll meet: passionate, thoughtful & so much fun to share an office with. Share widely so that future scientists can benefit from her greatness & so that her light shines on 💫

I was lucky to teach with Bob these past 4 years and to work together on promoting eDNA as a tool for conservation. I will miss working with him. To honor his memory, a scholarship has been created in his name to support young researchers in the field of conservation genetics.

Check out our new paper on debating conservation with your students! Through a role-playing activity, we discussed whether wolves should be reintroduced in California or not. Try it out with your class and let us know how it goes!

Do you like genomics, ecology, evolution, and long-dead plants & animals? Are you looking for a lab job to sharpen your skills/interests before grad school? Come join us as a technician in the Paleogenomics Lab UCSC Paleogenomics Lab at UC Santa Cruz! Apply by 8 May: recruit.ucsc.edu/JPF01483

Such a special day finally graduating from my PhD (5 years after completion!!) and celebrating with my dearest friend Carol. The honor truly was mine, I’m lucky to have you in my life! 🥹🎓

So grateful to be part of this 🔬🇬🇭🦠

We partnered with JR Biotek Foundation, CSIR-Crops Research Institute, & Oxford University Nanotechnology & Nanomedicine to co-host a Metagenomics Training Workshop in Kumasi, Ghana last month. 12 scientists from across Africa came together to learn cutting-edge FUNGAL sequencing techniques. What an incredible team.

Such a lovely afternoon with my PhD supervisor! Reconnecting after 5 years and catching up on all things of life. Thank you for your friendship and for the visit!

West Africa’s key food crops – maize, cassava, plantain, rice, yam, sorghum, and millet – all form partnerships with mycorrhizal fungi. Read about our expedition to a mycorrhizal biodiversity hotspot led by Jacob Ulzen in Ghana in Forbes from Andrew J Wight 🇦🇺🇨🇴✍🏽🕺🏻💃🏽. forbes.com/sites/andrewwi…
