New in ES&T: Protist predation rapidly altered soil microbial community structure and increased the expression of N and P cycling genes, antibiotic resistance genes, virulence factors, and mobile genetic elements. #SoilMicrobiology #Protists #MicrobialEcology pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Protist Predation Rapidly Reshapes Soil Microbial Gene Expression Linked to Nutrient Processing, Resistance, Virulence, and Gene Mobility Traits
Protists are ubiquitous soil predators that regulate bacterial communities and biogeochemical cycling, yet how their predation alters expression of nutrient-cycling genes and traits linked to antibiot...

The #BrownBerets 10 point program. Modeled after the #BlackPanthers. Relearning my Chicano history gives me hope especially during these times. Feeding my soul and relearning. #chicano #chicanohistory #chicanx #chicana #chicanoinstem #iamjoaquin #yosoyjoaquin #brownberets

Day 2 of the common garden study went so well! It was nice to get some hands on experience for myself and my undergrads. #STEM #phdlife #phdstudent #ecology #commongardenstudy #screwbeanmesquite #undergraduates #NAU #NorthernArizonaUniversity

Taking some undergrads on a research trip tomorrow. Its a 5 hour drive, so I told them to add songs to a playlist for the drive. They didn’t do it yet so I may have issued a threat. #millennial #researchtrip #research #phdlife #phdstudent #undergraduateresearch #stem #nau #northernarizonauniversity

I care about students. I care about students in science. However, we must also recognize that not ALL students are represented especially in STEM. DEI is imperative to making advances in STEM especially health. I will continue this work despite the political climate. #dei #latineinstem

DEI is not the issue. The issue is that people don’t think BIPOC individuals are smart enough or qualified to get high ranking jobs (or jobs at all). The issue isn’t DEI, it’s Racism… #dei

Spent a wonderful flagstaff morning at Mt. Elden collecting soil from areas of high burn severity, low burn severity, and unburned. Had some help from my awesome undergrads #ecology #soil #wildfireecology #phdstudentlife #PhDlife #NAU #northernarizonauniversity #LCE #labofconservationecology

You can’t tell me “Cyclone” isn’t about a centrifuge. Never leave me in the microbio lab by myself. No centrifuges were harmed in the making of this video. #STEM #LatinoinSTEM #centrifuge #phdstudent #microbiology #NAU #NorthernArizonaUniversity

I saw the movie “The Martian” for the first time a few weeks ago and tbh when he said “mars will come to fear my botany powers” and “I’m gonna have to science the shit out of this” it really inspired me. I too want to “make NASA proud” someday 😂

The majority of all known pathogens to global food production will thrive and reproduce faster in a warmer climate. A report from SMHI and SLU estimates how 80 known plant pathogens are affected by climate change. #climatechange #plantprotection #planthealth #plantpathogens

Shameless brag, but I finished my final project for my GIS class. I created a map of most likely areas where the Screwbean Mesquite will be most likely impacted by the Pathogenic Fungus Neoscytalidium dimidiatum. Could it be better? Yea! But I’m proud :) #screwbeanmesquite #neoscytalidiumdimidiatum

#botanyjokeoftheweek #botanyjoke Why are Saguaros so good at seeing things? Because they have CACTIs (cact-eyes)

The GIS class I am in is very aggravating at times! Like why is it that my issues are always resolved with either: restarting the program, checking/unchecking a box, or using a tool that is soooo easy to use but it took me 2 days to find it. Very love/hate 😂.
