So excited to share this paper from so many fun field seasons staring at purple needle grass with @lmhallett 💗 - grazing helps preserve native grass in a sea of non-native grasses

Super excited for #ESA2022 interested in invasion and restoration? we have several talks for you to check out @ClarissaRodd @StuartSchwab @teller_noah

[Dr Sydney Glassman @sydneyglassman]

I’m not at #ESA2022 but please check out the awesome Glassman lab science by @ArikChu @Dylan_J_Enright and @CaiafaMarcos (presented by @Dylan_J_Enright)!! (1/4) 🍄🦠🔥🌲

The Fourth Annual EcoSlam is happening tomorrow at UCR! Key note seminar by Patrick Donnelly, @BitterWaterBlue the Great Basin Director of the Center for Biological Diversity. Followed with lightning talks by grads and undergrads from four departments.

[Center for Conservation Biology @ccbucr]

@BitterWaterBlue This event is a graduate student led initiative! They are doing a fantastic job with using this to help inter-departmental interactions and grad-undergrad mentoring. @ClaraWoodie and @ElijahHallEco both having leadership here along with the team of CCB grad students.

I'm super excited to announce a new paper from my lab on host mediation of symbiosis evolution.

First author David C. Fronk (not on twitter).

The embargo is finally lifted and I’m very excited to officially announce my @USDA @USDA_NIFA agricultural microbiomes grant to study microbial response to wildfires in chaparral with @PeteHomyak!! Thank @JulesBernstein for the story! https://t.co/MzpBeEDVpW

Exciting news! #Fire and #fungi review paper stemming from 2019 @MSAFungi symposium is finally out! Super proud of this product and data from @Pulido_Fabi in Fig 4 😊 fun collab w/ @samlfox25 @uofmemphisbio @MicroSikes! https://t.co/jOud5dlLjp

Black-eyed peas are more than a Southern staple: They attract soil-enhancing bacteria.

This means these common legumes boost soil health and could even replace costly, environmentally damaging fertilizer, say #NSFfunded researchers @UCRiverside. https://t.co/liEGnF3rTk

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

[Kurt Anderson🦠🐛🐟 @kurt_ecology]

I had a great time visiting @VT_Biology last week. First in-person seminar I've given since before COVID! Had fun chatting with many amazing faculty and students... great science being done there! Thx @psilotreta for hosting me.

[Dr. Holly Andrews @HMAndrewsEco]

2nd PhD chapter is out! With @GDJecology @PeteHomyak @PattyOikawa and Jun Wang, we show multi-faceted benefits of drip irrigation in high-temperature forage agriculture: higher crop yields, lower water use, and lower soil emissions of CO2, N2O, and NO. https://t.co/YmEwchY0kk

Job alert! The Glassman lab is recruiting a postdoctoral scholar with expertise in bacterial/fungal genomics to be part of a USDA funded project! https://t.co/A7HPsz2wQE
