Check out my new paper tracking the survival of Priestia megaterium in different soils! It's chapter 2 of my thesis, only 2 more chapters to go...

Can you please describe your methodology?

Priestia megaterium (used to be Bacillus megaterium) => in different soils, different survival of inoculated (how can we shift survival?)

~3 weeks worth of PCRs to get the amplicons I needed*. Right = success, left = failure. #persistence

@rondymalik Those shoes!! 👌

[Laura Kaminsky @LmKaminsky]

Excited to announce that I've been awarded an @NSFGRFP!! I'm honored and so immensely grateful to everyone who has supported me since I first set foot in a research lab. I would not have made it here without their mentorship and investment in me.

What can't it do?

I’m very excited to see if this Instant Pot can be used to sterilize small quantities of microbiological media in my little lab. @kittenwithawhip surely has opinions. Note hat tip to @lnstapundit . #FrugalScience @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology

A study published by @PSUresearch in @PhytobiomesJ showed that Excessive Phosphate Fertilizers Alter Soil Microbes, and Reduce Plant Yield. Read more here: https://t.co/p6njMoh687.

Bacteria being plated after chilling in -80C freezer stock for 30 years

[Phytobiomes Journal @PhytobiomesJ]

New #openaccess research into Medicago sativa (alfalfa) suggests that excessive inorganic P fertilization may change microbiomes such that they negatively affect plant growth.
