These are all compelling projects.

Though we admit to particularly liking @UTK_EEB grad student @shanbay & Dr. Joe Bailey's project on "Improving Species Distribution Models by Incorporating Population Genetic Variation." Congrats!

The face you make when you pass your defense into candidacy 🤗🤗🤗

[Dr. Jennifer Pett-Ridge @Jeffinerca]

As I recently posted, we need someone post-bacc or post-masters to help with sample processing/data analysis. Great experience for those thinking about a PhD or research career. soil carbon formation, viromics, microbiology

now accepting applications! https://t.co/hMAZRmAgTX

Portrait of Rick Sanchez (presumably C-137) spotted in Strong Hall. @UTKnoxville might have Rick reconsidering his self-admitted, unpopular opinion that school “is not a place for smart people.”

Alex Aromin, @UTK_EEB grad student, is researching maternal investment in #moss & was awarded Breedlove, Dennis funds this year to do #fieldwork & make #collections. She took some wonderful photos while she was working! #MossMonday #botany #plantscience @ResearchUTK @UTKnoxville

Why do we work hard to make science engaging and fun when talking to the public, yet we think it has to be serious when talking to other scientists?

Don’t we all enjoy engaging presentations? Science does not stop being valid just because we make it fun. #SciComm

Join us today at 3:30pm for our weekly seminar featuring Sarah Stehn with the National Park Services.

Experimental warming alters the community composition, diversity, and N2 fixation activity of peat moss (Sphagnum fallax) microbiomes. Check out our recent paper!

Cumulative greenhouse gas emissions commit Earth to a warmer climate and future species extinctions.

We must start removing #carbondioxide from the atmosphere to prevent catastrophe. Could Earth's history provide a solution to the urgent threat of #climatechange?

Thanks @sciencemagazine for covering an amazing talk by @fungaloha in our recent #esa2019 symposium. Microbiomes are connected among organisms! @UTK_EEB @UTK_news https://t.co/11Tl9iBnNW

Our oldest trees are (arguably) 2,000 years old; our oldest peat bog has been storing Sphagnum moss carbon for 20,000 years. 'Ancient' forest is defined as 600 years old; our 'typical' peat bogs are 2,000 to 8,000 years old, storing more carbon than even the original wildwood.

Camera lucidas are really cool & can assist in making amazing #SciArt! We have one that can be mounted on a few of our @LeicaMicro scopes if you ever need to use one for a figure or just want to give it a try, @UTKnoxville @ArtsSciencesUT @UTK_EEB @ArtUTK 😍🔬🦠🎨
