I'm excited to share my first publication! It’s a preview of a research article on oak tree microbiomes, written with my PI, Dr. Tory Hendry. I worked on the background literature review and designed the graphical abstract. - Free access for 50 days here: authors.elsevier.com/c/1mbW96t8JE...

New and MUCH improved - we've updated our work on Lake Ontario's microbial communities by linking in physical processes (upwellings propagated via Kelvin waves). Nearshore zones hold microbes and metabolisms EXCLUSIVE to the temporary upwelling niche! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Upwelling periodically disturbs the ecological assembly of microbial communities in the Laurentian Great Lakes
The Laurentian Great Lakes hold 21% of the world's surface freshwater and supply drinking water to nearly 40 million people. Here we provide the first evidence that wind-driven upwelling fundamentally...

Microbial ecologists! Do you use Unifrac distances? Are you curious about absolute abundances? Then I’ve got a paper for you! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... (1/4)

Interpreting UniFrac with Absolute Abundance: A Conceptual and Practical Guide
Microbial ecologists routinely use β-diversity metrics to compare communities, yet these metrics vary in the ecological dimensions they capture. Popular for incorporating phylogenetic relationships, U...

Latest work from the lab - we identify a translation factor, YebC2, that reduces ribosome stalling in B. subtilis! Congrats to co-first authors: grad students Hye-Rim Hong & Cassidy Prince & undergrad Dennis Wu @denniswu02.bsky.social journals.plos.org/plosgenetics...

YebC2 resolves ribosome stalling and increases fitness of cells lacking EF-P and the ABCF ATPase YfmR
Author summary Polyproline motifs are essential structural features of many proteins but are difficult for the ribosome to synthesize. EF-P reduces ribosome pausing at polyproline motifs. Here, we sho...
