Tomorrow I’m presenting some work from my PhD in the Martiny lab. This was a great enjoyable collaboration (George Hagstrom Dr. Alyse A Larkin Lucas Ustick UCI OCEANS Lomas and Levin) using genomics, modeling and stoichiometry to build a better picture of C:P ratios. Join me if you can!

Saying goodbye to Seattle to finally start the research cruise!!! instagram.com/p/CWJtbJIPrwi/…

Unexpectedly learned we’d be detouring to San Francisco Bay this morning, but got some great photos of the Golden Gate Bridge!

Officially left port a few days ago and had a warm fairwell from the Sally Ride crew. instagram.com/p/CWgJiITrDoV/…

Stumbled upon the SSV Robert C. Seamans this morning docking In Honolulu

Job alert! The Glassman lab is recruiting a postdoctoral scholar with expertise in bacterial/fungal genomics to be part of a USDA funded project! msafungi.org/postdoctoral-s… #fungi #AcademicTwitter #mushrooms #Genomics #postdocjobs

Biogeochemists - what's your favorite element and why is it anything but phosphorus?

Postdoc opportunity in Angel’s lab!

Fair weather and sailing! It was good to sea the next generation of sailors and scientists starting there voyage. @SEA_Woods_Hole #SSVRobertCSeamans

Off to see again the RV Kilo Moana! @ Honolulu, Hawaii instagram.com/p/Cg2Zk9Sv9F2/…

Ready for these auvs to give some information on the subsurface bloom. Looking like a good day on PARAGON-2

These marine particles are really showing off this week. #PARAGON2

Very cool study I just came across using autonomous wire walkers paired with sediment traps to examine individual particles. ⁦@ca_durkin⁩ nature.com/articles/s4139…

It’s nice when the Wire Walker does the work for you. Here’s one of the many instruments used in a recent PARAGON2 mission to examine optical properties in situ.

Honestly should have done this years ago.

A quick PSA on student loans for academics. 1) Under the temporary PSLF exemptions, your university EIN tax id might qualify as a non-profit. The deadline is October 31st to apply. 2) As I understand payments going back to March 2020 qualify for loan forgiveness.

Sometimes a paper takes 6 years, 75 days at sea, 900 metagenomes (700 in this paper), two new coding languages, and many fantastic collaborators. I am very proud of this one. ❤️ nature.com/articles/s4139…

I am excited to share that I received an award from the National Science Foundation! I'm considering candidates for up to two postdoc positions - reach out by Aug 28th for full consideration. sites.google.com/uncc.edu/micro…

If this is you vibe...come work with us in Socal. We have two open postdoc positions in marine microbiomes and biogeochemistry research
