Took longer than I anticipated, but my first chapter is ~finally~ going to be published! S/o to my co-authors for helping get it to this point, and to the reviewers who gave me anxiety but admittedly helped make it a better manuscript. Party time! 🎉🍾

Me explaining to my advisor how, in trying to get a new command to run, I screwed up the install of a program I’ve had running successfully for months & now it won’t re-install properly and I’m troubleshooting that, thus I’ve made little progress in the last week. HAPPY MONDAY 🫠

Ran out of willpower to troubleshoot as nothing was working. Tried re-installing the program from scratch for the 20th time today out of pure desperation and it installed no problem 🙃

Introducing {ggflowchart} -Flowcharts can be a useful way to visualise complex processes, and the new R package {ggflowchart} makes them easy to create in R. This blog post shows you how. nrennie.rbind.io/blog/introduci…… #rstats #ggflowchart #dataviz #rmarkdown #quartopub #rpackage

Setting up my lab at UofMemphisBiology, and I'm hoping to welcome MS and/or PhD students in Spring or Fall 2024! Please share and reach out if you are interested in how pollutants and environmental change impact host-associated microbes in marine and freshwater systems!

Was trying to take cute pics of Guinness & Indy snuggling, but Indy had other ideas 😛

Would anyone be willing to share lecture slides for an undergraduate General Microbiology course for Biology majors? Starting from scratch 🥴 I'm using Brock Biology of Microorganisms, but will accept any relevant help!

This is what I get for trying to take a cute pic with my dogs 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 But for real I’m not sure what I did to deserve these dogs but boy am I thankful for them. Was really in a funk today and a walk + grass cuddle sesh has made a world of difference.

Writing up my dissertation. I tried ~10 DNA extraction protocols on my sediments, & named one the “Frankenstein” protocol b/c it was a mix of (what I thought were the best parts of) the other protocols. Can I call it the Frankenstein protocol in my diss. (Supp. Methods)?

Anyone have a prickly pear plant they’d be willing to share a piece of? Happy to trade for some of mine or a cutting from an indoor plant! Been nursing my prickly pear for years and it finally flowered, just for me to learn you need 2 genetically distinct plants to get fruit 🫠

Been actively looking for a job, and decided to run my resume through an AI resume reviewer (similar to what recruiters/hiring managers use), and it thinks my most recent employer was THE SURFACE OF MARS. If you need me, I’ll be in the corner spiraling thank you 🫠
