Had an amazing time at ESA (my first large in-person conference thanks to COVID)! So proud of these amazing friends/scientists who dazzled us with their research 🤩 Nahuel Policelli Zoey Werbin Kathryn Atherton Emerson Conrad-Rooney @baby_cones

No graduate student worker should be struggling to make ends meet when Boston University has a $3 billion endowment. These workers deserve a living wage and strong benefits. Boston University must bargain a fair contract immediately.

Article on a phenomenon we refer to as the divergence-complexity effect in #MicrobialCommunities, by Michael Silverstein – collaboration between the labs of Jenny Bhatnagar (she/her) & Daniel Segrè – out at NatureEcoEvo. nature.com/articles/s4155…. What is the idea? 1/2

**PhD positions available in plant-microbe interactions & global change** Jenny Bhatnagar (she/her) and myself are seeking PhD students (starting Jan or May 2025) to work on a DOE-funded project on the roles of mycorrhizal fungal traits in vegetation responses to global change

For the past year, I’ve been working with K. J. E. Hickman (they/them) & MIT Science Policy Review editors Jenny Cascino & Michelle Peters to write a review paper on the potential of fungal research for informing policy, and today it’s live! I’m so proud of our piece! Check it out: sciencepolicyreview.pubpub.org/pub/av7npje2
