First endophytes in space! Two of our endophyte strains are now on the International Space Station. Check out our news story: washington.edu/news/2018/05/2… #endophytes #phytobiomes

It's been fun sharing our #endophytes research with the International Symbiosis Society. This is a great conference! #ISS_2018

An article about our work was published in our university news, The Daily, last week: dailyuw.com/science/articl… #endophytes

Nice article in the Smithsonian magazine on N-fixation in a Mexican maize variety also highlights our poplar and willow #endophytes smithsonianmag.com/science-nature…

This Grist article is a fun read about the exciting times we're in on using symbiosis with #endophytes rather than chemical fertilizers: grist.org/article/billio…

A video made by ATTN about our N-fixing endophyte strains licensed to IntrinsyxBio went live this morning. Check it out! x.com/attn/status/11…

Get to know some of the work by our featured lab of the week, by watching this short video! The Sharon L. Doty Lab is using #PlantMicroSymbio research to reduce chemical inputs in farming, making bioenergy and other crops more sustainable. 🦠+🌱=😃🌎

The Sharon L. Doty Lab surveys poplar and willow trees that live in nutrient poor areas. While trees are pretty different than corn, the microbes associated with these trees can help them thrive and grow in that environment - this benefit can transfer to crops too. #PlantMicroSymbio

Currently in the Sharon L. Doty Lab: Grad student Robert Tournay is looking at endophyte effects on host tolerance of toxic metals. Researcher Andrew Sher is probing molecular mechanisms of plant growth promotion. Postdoc Andrea Firrincieli is diving into the endophyte genetics. #Symbiosis

The Washington Trails Association (wta.org) wrote an article, "The Unseen Trail" about microbes within trees with interviews of Sharon Doty and Carrie Harwood

Articles about our research were published this month in the New York Times: nytimes.com/2020/04/07/sci… And in Good Fruit Growers magazine: goodfruit.com/microbiome-boo…

Our research on "Using Plants to Clean Up Superfund Sites" was aired on BYU's "Top of Mind" 5/13/2020. Check it out! byuradio.org/episode/271f77…

March 16, 2018: Our undergraduate researcher, Sam Scharffenberger, was awarded a Mary Gates Research Scholarship for his project, "Interactions of Colonizing Endophytes in Populus trichocarpa". Congratulations, Sam!

Our undergraduate researcher, Shruti Parikh, won an "Outstanding Student Poster" award at the 2018 Stanford Research Conference (April 15). Congratulations, Shruti!

My autumn qtr class, "Environmental Applications of Plants: Bioremediation & Bioenergy" is now open. Students have often remarked it was their favorite class at UW since I teach with optimism that we CAN solve environmental problems. Spread the word! courses.washington.edu/cfr523/
