Soil microbes are wild, un-pampered, uncultured...to understand their ecology, don't look in culture, look in the soil! New #Sciart by Victor O. Leshyk for our new @EcossNAU research published in The ISME Journal (also see my thread below! Elisabeth Bik ): rdcu.be/bz2u0

Amen!

I always list my maternity leave on my CV, despite having been advised not to. The truth is that having babies takes A LOT of time. My CV is mentioned as an example in this post! #WomenInSTEM #womeninscience

Highlights from our recent work m.phys.org/news/2019-08-d… #PNNL #PNNLBio

Lots and lots of positive feedback from virtual participants at #NSFMicrobiomes. Very high engagement via Slack and break-out groups (Zoom or locally organized). Early estimate = 170 tons of CO2 saved. Many thanks to Marian Bolton and the other organizers, well done!!

The Harvard Forest is now accepting applications for the Summer Program in Ecology! I wish we had these when I was a student. To make up for it, I'll be a mentor this summer! harvardforest.fas.harvard.edu/other-tags/reu

Riffing off Monty Python "How not to be seen" the Editors-in-Chief of Soil Biology & Biochemistry (me and Karl Ritz) offer an editors perspective on many points I'd discussed in Writing Science. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Soil Biology & Biochemistry Journal

Quarantine due to COVID-19 let me marvel at our now ~6-mo. old son! Now itching to get back to science and be a super mom! Looking for BGC/microbiome science opportunities! Interested in informatics.

Today in WaPo with my colleagues Shweta Bansal, John Kraemer: Based on the epidemiological data we outline, we don't see a "safe" way to reopen schools in the fall. Reopening is important. There should be no acceptable losses when we do it. Tell your admin: washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/0…

Non-linear relationships between soil metabolome and taxa is a hurdle to predict functions in soil. We applied random forest modeling to predict functional traits using metabolite profiles from the same experiment as the predictor variables adding more po…lnkd.in/ghK3DDfU
