Come work with Carolee Bull, myself, and a broader mushroom-focused community!

My first PhD paper is out in Soil Biology & Biochemistry Journal! We tested if extraction buffer chemistry affects viral diversity recovery from soil using #viromics . Turns out ecological patterns (space) trump extraction buffer when assessing viral community composition. authors.elsevier.com/c/1ivya8g13bSSv

Only one more month to submit papers for the special issue on the phytovirome!

Soil nerds - the biennial meeting of the Soil Ecology Society meeting is coming up soon. This is an awesome meeting that is worth attending. Hope to see you there! 2024sesmeeting.com
