Magic sand is a great medium to keep microplastic particles in place and at the same height while using the Raman microscope

[Ecosystems Lab @ecosystemslab]

Is anyone hungry for a magic sand pizza with microplastic toppings? Our grad student Carley makes these “pizzas” when using Raman spectroscopy to identify polymer types

How much lost medieval literature is there? A wildlife-tracking method may have the answer. https://t.co/nBYi9NXMJc

Inherited and high epigenetic variation in mangrove populations! Nice grad-student led paper by @j_mounger. Does it explain variation in plasticity? Stay tuned for the next paper in our ongoing collab with @EcolEpig

Plant range shifts driven by climate change. What are the biogeochemical effects? Our study of mobile, surface-soil carbon and nitrogen across the migrating mangrove-saltmarsh ecotone, with @EcolEpig @kristine_jim @HydUSF @acadienlandry et al.

@WaSusResearch @ThanhDucDang Is this like that game where you guess the number of jelly beans in the jar?

Students with @saveUSFpreserve protesting @USouthFlorida’s inquiry of development ideas on the USF Forest Preserve and golf course off of Fletcher Avenue. More than 50 people are gathered on the shoulder of the preserve chanting and waving signs at drivers. @wusf

Great job from lab member Jessica Balerna!!

Good leadership @EcolEpig on this study of epigenetic diversity among and within mangrove populations
