I'm excited about the first paper of my PhD--What happens to soil bacterial communities when soil is mixed? Diversity decreases at a small scale, but high diversity is maintained across disconnected microsites. @TheaWhitman

I've always loved thinking about just why soils are so diverse, microbially-speaking. @jaimiewest's new preprint experimentally demonstrates that a lack of mixing is key to maintaining bacterial diversity in soils.
It's out! Persistent soil C enhanced in Mollisols by well-managed grasslands but not annual grain or dairy forage cropping systems https://t.co/Xqu2PtSTo2 thanks to my co-authors @JacksonRD @francescacotruf @gregg_sanford @BrianSpiesman Leo Deiss @CulmanLab Chao Liang @RuarkLab

Scientists’ warning to humanity: microorganisms and climate change
https://t.co/tYG1gA6udl
A group of leading microbiologists have come together to alert humanity that the central role and global importance of microorganisms in climate change biology must not be underestimated.

Jean-Michel Ané of @UWBact & @UWMadAgronomy has worked with colleagues to identify a corn that can acquire nitrogen from the air, reducing the need for artificial fertilizers. Read more: https://t.co/AnFQdWy09t
BBC Radio wanted to have me on today to debate a climate-denier in the context of the drought/heatwave.
I said NO.
I told them it was a disgrace that they still give climate-deniers airtime at a time like this.
I won’t be part of such charades any longer.
