BIG-EYE JELLYHEAD On a recent expedition exploring the Pacific Abyssal Plains, our #deepsea research team captured footage of a 𝘊𝘪𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘶𝘮𝘢 𝘤𝘧. 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘯𝘢 from the deep-sea lander camera at 4800m. This is a rare sighting of a deep-sea cirrrate octopod at this depth.

🚨Key review out! Probiotics can only be validated if the treatment group is compared with an inert (negative) control. Dead cells (i.e., postbiotics) or cellular fractions trigger specific biological responses/confounding factors, and are not inert (1/3) sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Excited to share that my final dissertation chapter is published! This work points at the need to further examine microbiome variation in tandem w/ host population genetics. Coral microbiomes continue to offer an endless wealth of research potential. #science #marinebiology

Used the #thankamicrobe idea of Anne Estes @ Townson to teach my upperclass #microbiology students how we benefit from microbial metabolisms & it was awesome! Posted them in our dept and have thoroughly enjoyed catching visitors, staff & students reading them! See a few examples:

My 1st UG mentee Washington and Lee University accepted an offer to pursue her PhD UniversityofIllinois working on primate #microbiomes. She came into my microbiome class my 1st year as faculty planning on vet school & was inspired to do #research in my lab & hasn't looked back. So proud!
