Introducing PiM Connections, a mentorship program by the Pride in Microbiology Network! 🌈 🔬
We will connect members based on career & scientific interests to support the next gen of queer & trans scientists. Register to be a mentor or mentee (or both!): https://t.co/P0L9ZVBaMm
Are you at the International Conference on the Geo-Omics of Archaea (ICGOA) in Shenzhen this weekend?
Come say hello at the poster session and check out my latest pre-print on a methane producing consortia dominated by ANME archaea.
🌙✨ Austin’s nights come alive with the sounds of insects and frogs! 🦗🐸 Ever wonder who’s making all that noise, and why? Join Luke, PhD candidate at UT Austin, on Nov 7 for a deep dive into the star-lit symphony of our nocturnal neighbors. 🌌🎶

Working on slides for my graduate environmental writing class and realized that nobody ever really taught me the steps for writing an academic paper, so here is my process some dozen or so manuscripts later.
!!New paper, fresh off the (electronic) press!!🚨🪱🦪
We found that quagga mussels reduce Great Lakes sediment mixing BUT that may not measurably alter geochemistry (in regions with low POM).
