Welcome to "Why Science," a video series produced by @UFAEC students that explores the how and why behind the careers of UF/IFAS researchers! To kick off our series, meet Dr. Brent Christner, microbiologist with @UF_MCS, and learn why he chose his path in science.⬇️⬇️⬇️
Dr. Brent Christner, professor in @UF_MCS, and his team are investigating the possibility of ice in space preserving evidence of life.

My lab is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to investigate genetic and epigenetic regulation of meiotic recombination in maize. If you are interested and motivated, please go ahead and apply: https://t.co/uzGinTyCtM. Experience is NOT required! Please RT, thanks!
My first paper from my PhD with @DeepPurpleERCSy is out now! 2 years of hard work (but fun lab time wirh @LauPer89) to get glacier ice algae into culture finally paid off!

Jacqueline Lee, an academic advisor for graduate students studying microbiology and cell science, has been awarded the CALS Excellence in Graduate program Support Award! Congratulations and go CALS gators!!
Beneath Antarctica's ice sheet, the first layered sediments were successfully recovered by @SalsaAntarctica including @UF microbiologist @DrXner.
"Knowing the dynamics of the ice sheet in the past is critical for predicting how it may respond to changes in the future." #NSFfunded
🚨 NSF-supported @SalsaAntarctica recovered the first layered sediments from under #Antarctica's ice sheet, enabling researchers to better understand subglacial activity across centuries & better predict future environmental changes. https://t.co/sSJDqx79n9

Thank you to Anna Mullins @BishopHartley for her suggestion to create a Spanish language version of our Huascarán virtual field trip. With help from Roxana Sierra-Hernández and Adelyn Arens, we'll have a version to share shortly on Virtual Ice Explorer. https://t.co/asWKUqXHxj
