Are you an undergrad? Interested in getting hands-on field (or #scicomm) training? Love lakes? Have we got the jobs for you! Application deadline March 2nd! blog.limnology.wisc.edu/now-hiring-und……/

Attn #limnology folks: If you're teaching limnology & having to move online & you're in need of a produced video lecture on a topic, let me know. I've got a set from when I flipped my limno class. See topics below. Your students will have to put up with me blathering on though.

"We have a simple message for all countries: test test test. Test every suspected #COVID19 case. If they test positive, isolate them & find out who they have been in close contact with up to 2 days before they developed symptoms & test those people too"-Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus #coronavirus

!!!EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!!! We made it, we're somebody now! We're teaming up with ISME - International Society for Microbial Ecology to offer online seminars starting ASAP and continuing for the foreseable future! We encourage all micro researchers to find addn'l info and signup here: isme-microbes.org/lets-go-viral

Colin is awesome - join his lab!

If you have ever valued anything that I have said to you in the past (and even if you haven't) please read this and reflect. Beronda L. Montgomery--@BerondaM at BSky is a wonderful mentor. She is a shield to so many. The analogy she uses here is so very on point and so very powerful. Just. So. Good.

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!!

Tickled to share the publication of this really fun project! rdcu.be/clsLo Read on for game theory, marine viruses, and ocean iron chemistry 😍
