Amazing research from Weisener Lab's @vanmensel! Check it out here

[Danielle VanMensel @vanmensel]

https://t.co/qWBIR7QWxq Check out our newest publication. We successfully sequenced microbial RNA associated with freshwater flocs and identified pathogenic-related gene expression. This research is the first to investigate the microbial metatranscriptome of suspended sediment..

[The Weisener Lab @WeisenerLab]

Great job by @vanmensel presenting "The symbiotic relationship of suspended sediment and pathogenicity in freshwater ecosystems" this morning at @goldschmidt2021. You're going to want to check out the recording if you missed it!

[The Weisener Lab @WeisenerLab]

Super exclusive sneak peek at group member @Uwin_NFalk’s title slide for his @goldschmidt2021 presentation tomorrow!

Session 10gO2. Good luck, Nick!

[The Weisener Lab @WeisenerLab]

We are excited to announce that we will have many new researchers joining us this year! Keep your eyes open for new #FeatureFridayWeisenerLab posts coming soon.

[The Weisener Lab @WeisenerLab]

Congrats to our very own @chelseasalter98 for being recognized for her amazing work. If you haven't yet, check out her paper! https://t.co/xJt8MKxJeo

Congratulations @GLIERUWINDSOR @ScienceUWindsor @WeisenerLab @chelseasalter98 on recognition with #IFHAB2021 Best Student Paper Award! Great news Chelsea and to all of the award recipients. @IFHABWorkshop

[The Weisener Lab @WeisenerLab]

Our final two presenters are up at 11:30 and 11:45 Starting with @alicia_dicarlo then Tilak Patel in #IAGLR21 room 6!

[The Weisener Lab @WeisenerLab]

Join us in #IAGLR21 Room 2 for @chelseasalter98's presentation at 10!

[The Weisener Lab @WeisenerLab]

Contrary to our previous post, @falkemup will be presenting for #IAGLR21 in virtual room 2 at 10:15! Come check him out!

[The Weisener Lab @WeisenerLab]

A couple of our amazing researchers are making presentations this week at IAGLR! Come check them out!

#FeatureFridayWeisenerLab: @nadia_tarakki joined us in 2019. Working closely with the oil and gas sector, Nadia’s research will focus on characterizing sources of gas migration by integrating metatranscriptomics and geochemical approaches.

Automated water quality sensors are great for real time data! But desensitization by biofouling, particularly in turbid waters, can pose challenges to accurate data collection. Routine upkeep and grab sample confirmations can never hurt! Great publication, Yu-Ting Chen!

[LakeErieWatch @ErieWatch]

Exciting new ErieWatch publication on the impacts of biofouling on insitu phosphorus analyzers during long term deployments. Congratulations Yu-Ting Chen! And thank you @RAEON_ for instrument access! https://t.co/fvOmQ2SJgw

Congratulations to @chelseasalter98 on being awarded an NSERC CGS Scholarship at the Master's Level. Such an amazing accomplishment!

[The Weisener Lab @WeisenerLab]

Our students have been growing these in the grad lounge fridge for months now! Wait a minute....

#FeatureFridayWeisenerLab: @falkemup started with the lab completing a masters and has continued working on a PhD focusing on how microbial communities work together to breakdown and store unwanted contaminants and nutrients associated with agriculture and industrial land use

[Robert Michael McKay @McKayGLIER]

Congratulations @WeisenerLab @chelseasalter98 on being awarded this graduate scholarship @CIGLR_UM. Chelsea's thesis work is a timely example of @GLIERUWINDSOR research applied to address real problems in our #GreatLakes. @ScienceUWindsor @EESWindsor

Happy #Internationalwomensday with some special appreciation to the women who keep our lab group running! #ChooseToChallenge @GLIERUWINDSOR

[The Weisener Lab @WeisenerLab]

#FeatureFridayWeisenerLab: @chelseasalter98 joined the lab during her undergrad degree which enabled her to complete a thesis. After receiving her Honours BSc, Chelsea decided to continue researching the ability of microbial communities to degrade microcystin in Lake Erie.

Our #waterquality team was busy this week making sure our automated #ISCO samplers are ready to capture snowmelt in our local watercourses to help us understand #phosphorus concentrations and loads in winter months #phosporusphriday #ONFARM

Air temperature near 50 F/10 C and ice flowing down river shrouded the #MotorCity skyline in fog this afternoon.
