So excited for my 5th (and final‼️) AGU (American Geophysical Union) of my PhD - & I’ll be presenting *quite literally* ALL of of my PhD research!Come hear about the post-fire soil microbiome at my talk in the FICUS town hall Tues (TH23L), my poster on Wed (B33J-2374), OR my talk on Fri (GC51C-05)!



Are at AGU (American Geophysical Union) and love the soil microbiome? Wildfire? The soil microbiome AND wildfire?!?! Come to my poster this afternoon (#2374) to see my bold attempt to fit all 3 of my PhD chapters onto one poster 😅






Big news!!! I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve started a postdoc position in the The Banfield Lab at UC Berkeley looking more into the role of the soil microbiome in generating stable soil C. Looking forward to this chapter and new, exciting science questions & systems!


My 3rd PhD chapter with @wilkinslab is now out in ISME Communications! We use an 11 year wildfire burn scar chronosequence in CO/WY to discern whether different microbial life history strategies help taxa thrive/survive in burned soils 🦠🔥 academic.oup.com/ismecommun/art…
