If you collect dissolved nutrient samples, you NEED to read this. If you're not filtering the samples immediately, in the field, using 0.2 um filters (or 0.45 if you really must), then you're likely not measuring in situ nutrient concentrations. Do it! aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/lo…

Today's the day you stop saying "I'll start tomorrow." Here's the only Habit Tracker you need for 2023: 📊

Prioritize Deep Work A new goal in 2023: 350 days where I get 4 hours of protected deep work. True progress is made in sprints. Deep work builds an opportunity to tackle: • Creative work • High-level strategy • Traction on large projects

Do marine thaumarchaeota use organic matter? If so, how much? What kind? What for? We explored these q’s in a natural ocean sample using FISH-nanoSIMS and ‘omics in a new paper now out in “early view” at EM: doi.org/10.1111/1462-2….

Dr. Jennifer Pett-Ridge Bruce Hungate Nice to see genomic predictions align with your results (doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…): Cyanos, etc., are mostly oligos but Proteos, etc., vary widely. You seem to write that the ratio of *predicted* copios:oligos doesn't mean anything about soil, even if at genus level. Is that so?

Our paper showing hydrogen is an important energy source in the deep, vast oceans is now published in Nature Microbiology (Nature Microbiology). The culmination of a five-year effort featuring insights from local and global waters and pure cultures. 1/3 nature.com/articles/s4156…

Most millionaires invest in stocks But they don't teach you how to research companies in school So let me break it down for you Using the strategy of the most successful fund manager of all time:

How popular claims about common mycorrhizal networks in forests are disconnected from evidence. Thx to M. Jones & J. Hoeksema Jason Hoeksema for their friendship, brilliance, and integrity. I would not have had the courage to tackle this issue without them. nature.com/articles/s4155…
