Introducing the newest ShadeLab PhD, DR Abby Sulesky-Grieb, PhD , who proudly continued our piñata tradition! Abby's research investigated the assembly & stress responses of the common #bean #microbiome, including seed & rhizosphere NIFA MSU Plant Resilience Institute @msupri.bsky.social MSU Microbiology, Genetics, & Immunology EEB at MSU EcoMicroLyon

@SamBarnett15 and I are SO EXCITED to share our latest U.S. National Science Foundation #CAREER results from the #soil #microbiome responses to the ongoing #Centralia coal fire, now out in Ecology Letters onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/el… @MSU_MGI ESA Microbial Ecology EcoMicroLyon EEB at MSU CNRS Écologie & Environnement ESA Soil Ecology

🌱🔥MGI's Ashley Shade, PhD, and Samuel Barnett, PhD, delve into soil microbial communities near the Centralia mine fire. Their findings could pave the way for innovative strategies to mitigate climate change impacts. Read more here: msutoday.msu.edu/news/2024/msu-… #NSFfunded
