This was a big day!! Feeling very grateful for the supportive team of mentors, family, and friends who made it possible

[Kathryn M. Docherty @DrDocherty]

Big congratulations to @e_badgerhanson who successfully defended her Masters and became a PhD candidate yesterday! Her work examines how prairie management choices influence soil microbial communities and carbon cycling. Her talk is here: https://t.co/42NEtFZwD2

Very excited about this mini-review
@DrDocherty and I put together. Restoring a prairie? Let's talk microbes!

[Kathryn M. Docherty @DrDocherty]

Congratulations! to @e_badgerhanson on her first publication, which reviews microbially focused restoration strategies in tallgrass prairies, with a focus on how this is both urgent and complicated in the face of climate change. https://t.co/oq8capyGZy

@lars_brudvig This looks like a mayapple wearing a trillium hat! Wild!

[Ellen Badger Hanson @e_badgerhanson]

@ecomattp @luthercollege So true! I feel the same way!!

@hnw2 I LOVE "80 years is as good as a p-value"!

[Ellen Badger Hanson @e_badgerhanson]

Ope, it me

[Caitlin Hicks Pries @Carbon_Cait]

Me to husband: "Hey hon, can you come here? There is something I am excited to show you."
Husband (deadpans): "Is it a graph?"
Me: "Um . . . well yes it is."

[Ellen Badger Hanson @e_badgerhanson]

@lars_brudvig I saw some skunk cabbage on my walk today too! Always so exciting!!

[Ellen Badger Hanson @e_badgerhanson]

Know any undergrads? This looks like a blast! Cool project in a great lab.

[Ellen Badger Hanson @e_badgerhanson]

Looking forward to tuning in!

Pleasantly surprised to see this on the UN stand at COP. Long overdue recognition that grasslands play a massive part when it comes to carbon storage. After speaking to those on the stand there was clear acceptance that proper grazing management has a vital role. About time.

[Ellen Badger Hanson @e_badgerhanson]

@Mikeropod I had heard that - isn't that funny? They're both so well-matched to their roles! That's one of the reasons I like the show so much, both leads are really strong. (Also, one of the best adaptations of a book I've ever seen!!) Thanks, hope you are well too!

[Ellen Badger Hanson @e_badgerhanson]

Things that are currently getting me through this busy semester:
1) My husband reminding me to do human things like eat
2) Writing to folklore on repeat
3) Watching Good Omens, a little, as a treat (is 4 times in 2 months too much??)
4) THIS NEWS THANK YOU SIR i can't wait for S2

Chaotic good poster is...chaotic good?

@DrDocherty challenged @smith_chr1stian and I to put together a poster in 30min and I think it turned out pretty well!
