Calling all novice LaTeX/Overleaf users! I've put together some LaTeX templates and tutorials, and finally uploaded to GitHub for your use: bit.ly/2SvVkRU. Others sharing with me has been critical to my #gradschool experience, and these are my way of paying it forward!

Congratulations to Jordan Von Eggers, a Ph.D. student in the Program of Ecology, and another one of our nine awardees of the 2021 Graduate Student Research Enhancement Grant!

#Publication 'Paleoecological evidence for a multi-trophic regime shift in a perialpine lake (Lake Joux, Switzerland)' with Rosalie Bruel #VictorFrossard UmrCarrtel UnivSavoieMontBlanc INRAE Lyon-Grenoble Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes in ANTHROPOCENE, SEP 21 ▶️doi.org/10.1016/j.ance…

This is what Ph.D. student Bridger Huhn is studying, one of our Graduate Student Research Enhancement Grant awardees! “I am glad to not be studying animals because they tend to run away when you chase them with a gas analyzer clamp. Plants stay put,” said Bridger.

Grayson Huston joined us at Uppsala this week to work with Barrenechea Ines and Jordan Von Eggers on getting some sedimentary ancient metagenomes. So we celebrate this afternoon with milkshakes and sci-fi/fantasy discussions. Warm welcome! With Kevin Nota

Check out our new compilation of sedimentary aeDNA sites: "Inventory of ancient environmental DNA from sedimentary archives: locations, methods, and target taxa" at doi.org/10.5281/zenodo…. With Marie-Eve Monchamp, PhD Eric Capo Charline Giguet-Covex Trisha Spanbauer and Pete Heintzman.

I was diagnosed with cancer in April. Unfortunately, chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy couldn’t tame this, and my medical team is now focused on keeping me comfortable while I spend the last chapter of my life with my partner, family, and friends. 1/4

New preprint from our Teton alpine stream work! Led by Karen Jorgenson (and advised by @eco_scollins), we take a deep-dive into who is eating who in high alpine streams. Turns out that in addition to hydrologic influence, trophic flexibility is a big deal! 🔗: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

So nice to see this #ancient #envDNA work out on Trends in Ecology & Evolution !!

Check out our new paper on lake sediment microbial communities from 36 lakes across Wyoming to see how these microbes consistently arrange into three distinct depth zones, despite the wide range of lake environments and hundreds of kilometers between them! doi.org/10.1111/1462-2…
