#AAASmtg Dr. Anthony Fauci says we shouldn't underestimate any new virus in his plenary talk on COVID-19.

[Sharlene Weatherwax @SharleneWeathe1]

#AAASmtg great discussion on the huge datasets generated by studying environmental microbiomes. #jeffinerca cites complexity of huge dataset that took 2 years to assemble!

#AAASmtg @randersonjt @scottdoney1 @eesalbnl closing out with a great panel on global carbon cycle beyond the 21st century. Shifts in carbon fluxes, global precipitation regimes, and changes in marine trophic levels.

[Sharlene Weatherwax @SharleneWeathe1]

#AAASmtg @randersonjt Professor James Randerson argues for studying the climate system beyond 2100, to identify low probability high risk events as tipping points

[Sharlene Weatherwax @SharleneWeathe1]

#AAASmtg @eesalbnl researcher Margaret Torn describes the increased CO2 and methane flux response of permafrost microbes to warming

[Sharlene Weatherwax @SharleneWeathe1]

#AAASmtg Kristala Prather of @MITChemE gives a great discussion of different types of road mapping, where participants fill in knowledge gaps and actually derive personal benefit!

[Sharlene Weatherwax @SharleneWeathe1]

#AAASmtg so great to hear about all the exciting science being done at NREL!

[Sharlene Weatherwax @SharleneWeathe1]

#AAASmtg Congratulations to newly inducted AAAS fellow @michiganstateu Eric Hegg

[Sharlene Weatherwax @SharleneWeathe1]

#AAASmtg @UW VPR Lidstrom describes strategic framework for implementation of secure collaboration at a University. Depends on culture, buy-in, awareness for training, partnerships with federal security agencies--and coffee!

[Sharlene Weatherwax @SharleneWeathe1]

#AAASmtg Town Hall with luminaries tackling the tough issue of how to balance promoting science that inspires, unites, and guides while preserving values.

[Sharlene Weatherwax @SharleneWeathe1]

#AAASmtg Great panel discussion on sustainable biological engineering, discussion led by @MaryEMaxon. We require responsible innovation by engaged workforce, safe raw resources with less energy inputs. Biology can do some things better to ensure a sustainable bioeconomy!

[Sharlene Weatherwax @SharleneWeathe1]

Glad to meet friends at #AAASmtg

[Joint Genome Institute @jgi]

Start Feb. 14 at #AAASmtg bright and early - catch @MaryEMaxon @LBNLBioSci @BerkeleyLab in the "The Biological Engineering Revolution: Strategies for a Sustainable Scale-up" session at 8am PT in Washington State Convention Center - 607! https://t.co/NZ5ksPs8hO @aaasmeetings
