How does environmental stress influence plant-microbe interactions via root exudates and plant C allocation?!?! Join our team as a PhD student to investigate this further! Applications due Sep 15. Details here: daniellemulrich.weebly.com/opportunities.… please RT! #plantecophysiology

Is leaf litter your favorite soil horizon? Have you recently pondered global biogeographic trends in microbial diversity? Do you wonder how far is far enough? Kendra Walters is defending her UCI Ecology and Evolutionary Biol thesis so you can find out! DM her for the zoom url, it's Friday 8/6 at 10am PT.

Excited to share our perspective on ways to move microbiome engineering forward in The ISME Journal led by Michaeline B N Albright Los Alamos National Laboratory, avail open access nature.com/articles/s4139…

Spring 2022 applications are due by 5pm ET on October 6, 2021 for the DOE Office of Science Community College #Internship (CCI) Program! You could intern at one of 16 U.S. Department of Energy national laboratories! Deadline and details at science.osti.gov/wdts/cci

Got yet another reminder today of how biased, cruel, and political the scientific review process can be. Please be constructive with your criticism. Work to build your colleagues up, not break them down. And remember that there is often more than one way to tackle a problem.

@marie_kroeger of Los Alamos National Laboratory has been awarded a FICUS program grant to track #carbon cycling variations in microbially driven surface litter decomposition rates with resources from Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) and Joint Genome Institute. bit.ly/39YKO0E

Sweet evolutionary ecology postdoc opportunity USGS Arizona!! Come collaborate with me, Rob Massatti, Kenny Chapin, John Bradford, Sasha Reed, @SethMMunson, Mike Duniway, and more! Recent PhDs with ecological genetics experience, app info here: jobs.botany.org/index.php?modu…

My new work shows the promise of using the information contained in the soil microbiome to predict soil health. Use this link for free access: bit.ly/3GY5q8B #soilhealth #microbiome #machinelearning

What if (and I know this is extreme) instead of telling young scientists they need to grow a "thicker skin" to excel in this career, we created a culture that built each other up rather than tearing each other down. 🤔

Don't forget to register for the next mSystems Thinking meeting with lectures by Dr. Rebecca Vega Thurber, Tom Bell and Samuel Chaffron on Dec 1st - Register here asm.org/Webinars/mSyst…

Looking for suggestions for microbiome journals that publish synthesis papers???

Looking for a PhD student to join our team + investigate the physiological mechanisms of old-growth tree mortality + survival using tree-ring stable isotopes! Apps due Feb 1. Full ad + how to apply: daniellemulrich.weebly.com/opportunities.… Pls RT!🙏

Several #microbial community traits influence the fate of #carbon in soil:

To kick off 2022, @NCState_PMB is hiring an #AsstProf in Microbial Physiology! Review starts Feb 1. jobs.ncsu.edu/postings/153898

Excited to join the Allonnia team!

Super excited that our paper experimentally testing the role of soil viruses on carbon cycling is published in ISME Communications -nature.com/articles/s4370…

Martiny is a Professor UC Irvine EEB. Her research focuses on the mechanisms that generate variation in #Microbiomes and how this variation affects #Ecosystem processes. She is the co-director of UCI Microbiome, on the NMDC SAB, and leads Microbiome Centers Consortium. #WomensHistoryMonth
