🎉 Exciting milestone … my first PhD paper has been accepted in the Journal of Experimental Biology! 🥳 Not all winter warming is equal: steady, mild winters increase activity and can cause molecular damage, but short, warm spells have little effect on wall lizards 🦎

📣 New PhD student position opening in my lab! Soils are full of microbes, but how many are active? Surprisingly, we still lack reliable methods to answer this. If you are interested in microbial dormancy and are fascinated by the Alps and glacier forefields, contact me. 🏔️ 🦠 💤 🧬 🎓

Just published an interactive article about a magical algorithm known as the Burrows-Wheeler Transform, which powers sequence alignment tools like bowtie and bwa: sandbox.bio/concepts/bwt It's also notoriously unintuitive so I'm hoping this article helps you build that intuition.

First PhD sampling completed! I went to sample the blackout experiment with 20-year old bare fallow plots at the Henfaes Research Farm (Bangor University) Here, we want to study SOM/SOC and the cycling of “old persistent” carbon in the absence of new fresh plant input.

"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants. Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."
