Excited to share a preprint from my postdoc research at @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social in the @banfieldlab.bsky.social! We surveyed soil microbiomes for autotrophy - and found it nearly everywhere, but most abundant in deep, saturated soils. Check it out below! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Dear Colleagues, It is with immense sadness and shock that I share the passing of Dr. Adriana Romero Olivares, a brand-new Assistant Professor in the Department of Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology at UC Riverside. www.mealtrain.com/trains/l3kg64

Meal Train for Jovani Catalan (Spouse of Adriana Romero Olivares)

Hi all, Please help out the family of Adriana Romero Olivares. Her husband, Jovani, and kids can be helped with meals over the next weeks as Adriana recovers.

Excited to share that I’ve joined the @usiedu.bsky.social Pott College as an Assistant Professor of Geology! Excited to be back in my home state and start exploring how Indiana ecosystems store and cycle carbon, + develop the environmental science curriculum at USI!

Happy to share this work that just came out. Emily Bechtold and co-authors collated a huge amount of field microbiome data to identify microbial signals associated with high methane fluxes from freshwater terrestrial wetlands - more here 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The authors created a multisite database to link microbial methane-cycling networks to CH4 fluxes across diverse wetlands, revealing differences in microbial cross-feeding and methanogen dynamics that...

Anyone have steam pipes or tunnels on their campus that they'd be willing to sample? (scraping nearby wall/puddle/soil) We've had awesome success so far culturing high temp amoebae (TY @micromaresca.bsky.social and @tacaro.bsky.social for sample collection) and want to broaden efforts! #MicroSky 🧪⚒️

Wetting dry soil rapidly stimulates microbial activity and has important consequences for biogeochemical cycling. In our paper out today, we show that part of that response can be explained by how bacterial genomes are written (i.e. codon usage, nucleotide freq., genome size) doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Feeling energized for science in the new year after a trip to the Hopland Research and Extension Center for the Soil SFA all-hands meeting. Beautiful field sites and reconnecting with old friends 🌳

Spent my morning moderating the first half of the Berkeley Science Bowl - main takeaway: high schoolers are SO. SMART. 😳 @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social

I'm not even going to #AGU24, but I'm still saying things like "wow I can't believe AGU is next week already" because that's just how geoscientists measure time.

Headed to my 5th (and final‼️) AGU of my PhD - & I’ll be presenting *quite literally* ALL of my PhD research! Come hear about the post-fire soil microbiome at my talk in the FICUS town hall Tues (TH23L), my poster on Wed (B33J-2374), OR my talk on Fri (GC51C-05)!
