Associate Scientist, Plant Microbiome at Mars Wrigley. Research on plant-soil-microbe interactions and rhizosphere ecology in cacao. Views expressed are my own.

Come join the Cocoa IPM team in Davis as a senior scientist in molecular plant-microbe interactions! https://t.co/O0kNanUXzL

@MirjamPulleman @SBL_WUR Very interested in this research! Is it something you're able to share with non attendees?

A rectangular #rhizosphere!

Out now - how core root endophyte and #rhizosphere #microbiomes impact growth of grafted #cacao seedlings! If you missed my poster @soilecol in May, check it out here:

Thrilled to be back at #SES2022 in person! Come chat soil science with me over a beer tonight at the @WomenInSoilEco mixer or at my poster on the cacao microbiome tomorrow afternoon!

[Jennifer Schmidt @jenschmidtsci]

@yaminapressler @PNNLab @soilecol Missed you today but looking forward to connecting later in the week! Would love to chat more about Will Run for Soil!

@satdkhalsa 100%! Soil microbes seemed like a bit of a stretch, though

[Jennifer Schmidt @jenschmidtsci]

Look, I love soil microbes too, but reading "Soil microbes regulate our emotions" in the introduction of a peer-reviewed article... 🤔 Let's make sure papers we review stick to the facts - there's enough microbiome pseudo-science out there already!

[Jennifer Schmidt @jenschmidtsci]

@CristyPortales Congratulations Cristy!! So excited for you!

"We've come to see the theory of failing fast as the ideal paradigm for building female confidence." - The Confidence Code, worth considering for your next #WomenInSTEM book club - lots to discuss!

[Jennifer Schmidt @jenschmidtsci]

One of those articles that makes me want to round up a soil health/C sequestration journal club and really dig in ⛏️

Chocolate and microbiome science - two of my favorite things! Check out our lit review in Agronomy for Sustainable Development: https://t.co/cDasEBqWt7

Microbial C cycling indicators based on sequencing data will be hugely useful for large-scale projects and building on existing studies! Something I'm working on for cacao - will be interesting to see what indicators overlap between temperate and tropical soils

[Soil Health Institute @soil_institute]

SHI received a grant from @WellsFargo to help identify microbial indicators of optimal carbon in soil. Find out how these indicators could help growers improve their soil health at https://t.co/neKnAxlByq.

Our new paper out on the cacao-root-associated microbiome in a young diversified agroforestry system is out! Looking forward to seeing how the microbiome changes as the system matures. https://t.co/Tj2k0bG2tK

Spread the word & RT! We are hosting a virtual career panel Feb 8 with an amazing group of federal, non-profit, & academic female soil scientists!! Use this link to register! https://t.co/0JgLD4b0qb

[Jennifer Schmidt @jenschmidtsci]

They couldn't have picked a better person to lead the research! Can't wait to see what @drippner discovers!

Our new paper out on rootstock and scion effects on the cacao rhizosphere! Great author team of @MarsGlobal Cocoa Plant Sciences and USDA collaborator https://t.co/pmTVWMbK4W
