Excited to share our work on microbial mercury methylation now published in EIC Jack Gilbert! McMahon Lab msystems.asm.org/content/5/4/e0…

Excited to announce the release of the Hg-MATE-Db: Hg-cycling Microorganisms in Aquatic and Terrestrial Ecosystems Database - a community effort that was led by Eric Capo Benjamin Peterson & me doi.org/10.25573/serc.… (1/5)

Recruiting grad student for Jan 2022 to study mercury methylation. Masters or PhD in Env Chemistry or EnvEng or Freshwater Sciences. I've been striking out for Fall admissions cuz I was too slow in recruiting. Plz pass along & LMK if u have any undergrads hoping to start in Jan!!

Congrats ⁦Amber White, PhD⁩ for her successful PhD defense on her aquatic herbicide work!! Coadvised with ⁦Trina McMahon 🌪⁩. #phdone ⁦UWMadisonCEE⁩

Excited to share that I’ve started Arcadia Science today as a Scientist working on computational pipelines! Looking forward to lots of fun science & creating open-source tools for the community!

Love love love this one! My pleasure to share McMahon Lab latest: "Signatures of Microbial Diversity at Multiple Scales of Resolution within Engineered Enrichment Communities" from Elizabeth McDaniel the manuscript MACHINE! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
