@DirtySci Thank you @DirtySci for so many great grad school experiences!!

@SarahMackAttack Stardew Valley! I started it just a few days ago and it’s ADDICTING and so zen. It’s kind of like a combo between minecraft and Animal Crossing, and only $15 on the switch

If anyone is attending the #CSHLmbiome virtual conference, check out my poster (57) on the microbiome of a meat processing facility and what this shows us about using good facility design to improve food safety! 🧫🥩🦠🥓

Listening to @Aeriel_Belk give a super cool talk about microbial decomposition at Science on Tap!

[Front Range Microbiome Symposium @FRMicrobiome]

Get your abstracts ready! Registration and abstract submission for the 2nd annual #FRMS opens Mon. January 6th. Join us at Colorado State for excellent keynote speakers and a spotlight on early career scientists from across the Front Range!

Listening to an awesome talk from Angela Oliverio about the #microbiome composition of sourdough starters! After figuring out the microbial communities, she can find what contributes to functional attributes like rising and aroma. @GRAM_CSU @CSUmicrobiome #FRMS2019

[Dr Shabana Hoosein @shabana_hoosein]

So excited to present, meet and hear from some amazing microbiome scientists, and spectacular guest speakers @edyong209 and Dr. Jill Banfield, this Friday at the first ever Front Range Microbiome symposium at CSU!!!🔬🧬🧫🧬🔬@GRAM_CSU #FRMS2019 #microbiome

[Heather @heatherldeel]

Come spend a Sunday afternoon with GWIS at Jax to learn about some cool science!

@GRAM_CSU Thank you so much!! 😊😊😊

[Dr. Aeriel Belk @Aeriel_Belk]

I think the Last Word Society is my favorite part of #AAFS2019 so far! We got to learn about the history of odontology, identifying remains after fire, ergot poisoning, a submarine wreck, a feral child, and meteorites! It was a good night.

[Heather @heatherldeel]

Thanks, @Doc_B_to_the_B!

[Heather @heatherldeel]

Had an awesome time building amusement ride prototypes at Tinker Lab with girls from Stott Elementary. I have strong faith in the next generation of women scientists!

[Kelly Wrighton @kcwrighton]

@jo44 gave a great talk balancing science and policy at a community lecture today on the importance of managing our soils. Thanks for visiting! @CSUmicrobiome

[Group of Researchers Across Microbiomes @GRAM_CSU]

Don't forget, our first meeting is TONIGHT at 5:30pm at the Mayor! We can't wait to see you all there! @CSUmicrobiome

[Dr. Aeriel Belk @Aeriel_Belk]

I am SO EXCITED about our new grad student microbiome club! Make sure to check it out on Tuesday! @CSUmicrobiome @GRAM_CSU
