Are you an ecologist studying pollutants like plastics/trash & attending Joint Aquatic Sciences Meeting (JASM) in May '22? Consider our session: 'Talking trash: The ecology of litter in freshwaters' 🗑️🌊 details below.

Big congratulations to WMU Biological Sciences Docherty lab undergrad @MeganNippa, who defended her Lee Honors College thesis today about how the late-successional plant white wild indigo influences soil bacterial communities. Great job Megan!

Anyone interested in soil ecology - check out this awesome Women in Soil Ecology panel on Feb 8!

One of my favorite quotes: "We must walk on in the days ahead with an audacious faith in the future" - MLK Jr. There is always hope if you have the courage to look for it and the perseverance to create it. #MLKDay2022 #MLKDay

Great job to my collaborators Jaron Adkins and Jessica Miesel getting this paper out! doi.org/10.3389/ffgc.2… In a nutshell: forest soil bacterial life history strategies and soil C pool kinetics are affected by wildfire and fire severity.

Congratulations! to Ellen Badger Hanson on her first publication, which reviews microbially focused restoration strategies in tallgrass prairies, with a focus on how this is both urgent and complicated in the face of climate change. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Second, I am honored to have received a Mid-Career Advancement award from U.S. National Science Foundation! I'm spending this semester @UNH with seritafrey's group, learning more about soil carbon dynamics and carbon use efficiency.

Third, congrats to Ellen Badger Hanson who received a Dept. of Agriculture SARE graduate student grant for this summer. Her work will expand our understanding of how restoration management choices affect soil microbial communities and carbon.

This was our home. And it will never be the same. bit.ly/3xqToAP

Big congratulations to Ellen Badger Hanson who successfully defended her Masters and became a PhD candidate yesterday! Her work examines how prairie management choices influence soil microbial communities and carbon cycling. Her talk is here: wmich.mediasite.com/Mediasite/Play…
