Nick Haas joins the lab as an IU Micro grad student, back in May 2021. Welcome Nick!

Grad student Nick Haas is awarded an IU COAS John and Wendy Kindig Fellowship! Congrats Nick!

William Rockliff joins the lab as an undergraduate technician and researcher in January 2021. Welcome William!

Brittany Herrin is awarded an IU Biology William G. Roessler Microbiology Scholarship! Congrats Brittany! (More good news to follow once it's official.) Brittany Herrin

Ceilidh Christie joins the lab as an undergraduate researcher. Welcome Ceilidh!

Some bacteria only have a partial denitrification pathway, a form of anaerobic respiration. However, the last step that converts N2O greenhouse gas into N2 is activated by denitrification intermediates that those bacteria cannot respire. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Unfortunately I couldn't attend #Phages2022 this year, but I am very proud of McKinlay Lab alum Dr. @RyanKFritts of the Copley lab! I hear it was an excellent talk. Thanks for the photo Julia van Kessel.

'A wormhole in Wisconsin.' Current grad student Nick Haas explains his research to former grad student Dr. @RyanKFritts at #Phages2022. Thanks Ella Chuang for the photo.

Grad student Ella Chuang talks about her work on adenine cross-feeding. Thanks to Julia van Kessel for the photo. We are all excited for her back in Bloomington. Ella is one of MANY IU Biology students presenting their excellent work at #Phages2022.

What an amazing conference! Gordon Research Conferences Microbial Basis of C1 Metabolism was an amazing experience to present, discuss and connect with an awesome community!

Grad student Olivia Schakel gives a great talk on cross-feeding conditions that support gene loss, today at #ISME18 in Lausanne. 4/4 grad students presented talks or posters this Summer!

First tweet, First talk, First in-person conference! Had a great time talking about how spatial structure stabilizes our model cross-feeding community!Thank you #ISME18 and McKinlay Lab

Thanks Marjon de Vos and Alvaro Sanchez Lab for Jake McKinlay's opportunity to present on recipient-driven cross-feeding and evolutionary influences of public adenine at #ISME18. Many lab members and collaborators contributed data to this talk.

Congrats to grad student Brittany Herrin who was awarded research funding from the Indiana Space Grant Consortium!! Indiana Space Grant Consortium

Indiana Space Grant Consortium funds Brittany Herrin’s research to develop an energy source for electricity to power living and work spaces on Mars. go.iu.edu/4A0Y McKinlay Lab The College at IU Science @ IU Indiana University Research
