Alex Vompe

Coral microbiology PhD candidate

[One Health Microbiome Center @PSUmBiome]

We are kicking off our semester with a seminar from @AVompe! Alex talked about coral microbiome work with @tjsharpton & @VegaThurber and new mushroom-microbe interaction projects with @k_hockett and @Buckhout_Bull

[One Health Microbiome Center @PSUmBiome]

Join us this Friday at 11AM for our first seminar of an exciting semester of microbial science! 🦠🧫

@penn_state postdoctoral scholar @AVompe will give a talk on the effects of disturbance histories on #coral #microbiomes.🪸

If you can't make it, DM us for the zoom link!

New paper out on the high infectivity and transmission through the water column of the slime mold that causes Seagrass Wasting Disease. Thank you @MorganEisenlord and @DrewHarvell for including me and mentoring me as an undergrad on this exciting and important project!

[Celina Scott-Buechler @cescobu]

My 1st paper (!!!!) out today in Nature Communications Earth & Environment! We explore environmental justice & just transition concerns & opportunities for direct air capture in the U.S., finding that communities may support DAC, but with conditions. https://t.co/ALPCfmuzzi

Hot off the press! Thank you, @VegaThurber, @tjsharpton, @hannah_eps, @KellySpeare, @em_schmeltzer, Deron Burkepile, and Tom Adam for all your mentorship and hard work on this project and to all the others who have helped.

Excited to see this out! This was a massive collaborative effort between members of the @TaraOceans_Sci, @vegathurberlab, and @CorreaLab. We reveal a long-standing interaction between coral symbionts (Symbiodiniaceae) and an enigmatic RNA virus: https://t.co/LKRmGQ8LgM

We’re a little late on this one but MAJOR celebrations are in order in the lab: our very own Sunni Patton was awarded the @NSF GRFP for her PhD research project here at @OregonState! Congratulations and very well-deserved, Sunni! 🎊🍾🥳@osugradsuccess @OSUScience @MicroGradBeavs

[Vega Thurber Lab @vegathurberlab]

🎉Congratulations to Dr. Klinges on her new pub! During her time here, ⁦@grace_klinges⁩ and several undergraduate assistants performed experiments showing that microbiomes of disease-resistant 🪸#coral genets remained stable during nutrient stress https://t.co/rMPVgHab3I

[Vega Thurber Lab @vegathurberlab]

🚨New pub out for our coral microbiome people, thanks to the hard work and dedication of @Denisepsilv , @hannah_eps , and @VegaThurber ! 🪸🦠 Best practices for generating and analyzing 16S rRNA amplicon data to track coral microbiome dynamics https://t.co/zuJJe1sYvg

Got to be on the radio to talk about my research! Thank you, @kbvrID for hosting me this weekend.

[Inspiration Dissemination💡 @kbvrID]

What stresses out corals? All kinds of things (unfortunately)! Come hear all about it tonight at 7PM tonight @KBVR_FM as we chat with @AVompe about his PhD research on coral reefs on Moorea, French Polynesia! https://t.co/KaYdZ17yom

[Dr. Rowan McLachlan @RowanMclachlan2]

Trying my hand at underwater panoramas. Here is Dr. Andrew Thurber of @ColdDarkBenthos cruising under the sea ice and over the anchor ice at Daytons Wall, #McMurdo Sounds, #Antarctica

@roachkisser @hourly_fish WHo is THIS??

[Virginia Weis @VirginiaMWeis]

Ever wonder how Symbiodiniaceae populate cnidarian hosts and how the process reverses during bleaching? Check out this new study by @trevortivey from his time in @WeisLab. #Aiptasia #symbiosis https://t.co/voONoe3EjK

[Alex Vompe @AVompe]

@roachkisser Lol yup, that's how it goes

[Julianna Renzi @JuliannaRenzi]

Super excited to share our review on how corallivores affect coral disease, hot off the press @SpringerCORE! We talk fishes 🐡, snails 🐌, worms 🪱, and--of course--crabs 🦀. Huge shout out to @sillimanlab, @BurkepileLab, and particularly @elizshaver!
