Excited to share my lab’s paper led by @Dylan_J_Enright on megafire effects on fungi & bacteria in redwood tanoak forests 🌲🔥🍄🦠. Aka the story of how to make lemons out of lemonade when your plots burn down in a megafire, YET AGAIN 😂 #fungi#fire https://t.co/9NCWpLRDTo
If you’re working toward a big goal, you *will* face frustration and failure.
It’s important to remember that frustration and failure are not a sign of weakness. They are a sign of growth.
Congratulations to our lab member @MahaldeepK
for a great Ph.D. viva defense. Wish you the very best for a successful career ahead. "Dealing with the unknown", the experimental journey had its ups and downs but it was worth the effort!
@RachnaSinghLab Respected Ma'am
Thank you so much for the good wishes. I will always be grateful to you for your kind guidance and support throughout the journey. Ma'am, thank you for guiding me on the right path.
A truly fantastic, well-researched story. Prof. Arunaloke Chakrabarti has built an outstanding collaborative mycology programme. Uncompromising in his commitment to science, serves as a beacon for Indian microbiologists, is collaborative & approachable.
Stupidity is knowing the truth, seeing the truth but still believing the lies.
And that is more infectious than any other disease.
