Lovely time visiting @WesternMichU for my seminar in Biological Sciences! Thanks for hosting my visit @DrDocherty and great to hear about all of the wonderful science being done in the department.

Excited to see this article from #RuaLab and @WSU_Honors alum Maureen Roddy and @OhioLSAMP alum Will Viney out in press! “The use of dredged sediments as a soil amendment for improving plant responses in prairie restorations” https://t.co/AUeNnVtpP6

First #PSL of the year brought to you by the storm that woke us at 430 this morning when a large branch hit the roof above our bed (roof is fine).

I’m on sabbatical for the 2023-24 academic year. Lots of adventures to come but for now I get to work from home. Such a nice change from being in my office!

First up, working my way through the backlog of manuscripts that piled up during the pandemic & the birth of my kiddo

Doing some yard work and found a honeysuckle that germinated in this polypore. Le sigh, could we not honeysuckle? #invasivespecies

Nothing like a fire alarm to start the semester! #RuaLab reunion with @MariahSlaughte1, @madegreene and Anthony no social media while we wait for the all clear

[Aisha S. Dickerson, PhD @aisha_dickerson]

Dear co-authors: when you’re providing input, instead of writing a comment saying “you should add a sentence/info about XYZ” you can just ADD THE SENTENCE and track the changes! Thank you in advance.

#Fungi exhibit intragenomic variation in the form of nucleotide substitutions, deletions/insertions, and likely ‘‘pseudogenes’’ which can be impacting taxonomic, eDNA, and diversity estimate studies. https://t.co/jUyqn8XQei @CellPressNews @RokasLab

@PalyJen @moreheadstate Congratulations!

In our new study we estimate that soils harbour 59% of the global biodiversity and are the most species rich habitat on Earth. Over 500 million species/ taxa are associated to soil.
