Our study on giant transposons Starship 🚀🧬 in the genome of the lichen fungus Xanthoria is now out in @PNASNews! What did we find out about Starships in #lichen fungi? 👇Updated thread below
@sumanstats@kareem_carr I’m taking a course using this book next semester, but I’ve heard from everyone that it’s extremely helpful in introducing Bayesian stats and building off of it
Know a chemical ecologist student who’s looking to start their PhD potentially this summer? Project has a little bit of everything including microbial ecology and metabolite profiling. My ears are open. DM me.
Know any undergraduates or recent grads looking for summer opportunities? We are hiring technicians to assist with our @US_IMLS and @NSF funded projects focusing on our amazing plant collections!

How popular claims about common mycorrhizal networks in forests are disconnected from evidence. Thx to M. Jones & J. Hoeksema @jhooooks for their friendship, brilliance, and integrity. I would not have had the courage to tackle this issue without them. https://t.co/ZmCAAn6Rka
🌿🌱🌺 Applications are now being accepted for the Rare Plant RaMP Program! Details on the program, eligibility, and application requirements in the link below. Please RT! https://t.co/4ouwdwTUrh
My first paper ever (and first first author paper) is in press today! If you're interested in responses to ocean acidification and temperature in marine invertebrate reproduction, you should check this out!

We are thrilled to launch the Rare Plant RaMP Network 🌿🌱🌵🌼. This @NSF funded initiative will fund eight postbac scholars from historically marginalized groups across four botanical gardens, @AtlBotanical@CABotanicGarden@MortonArboretum@SDBGarden
Helicopter science is still a real thing. It’s even insulting when none of the native/in country scientists/researchers are included , involved or part of the in the published work. We must decolonize Science.
Our new accepted paper in #Phytochemistry is now online. We have shown that Plant affinity to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi is a key factor determining AMF responsiveness to water deficit.

So happy to be hosting this @NSF funded Beginner's Bioinformatics workshop with @MelissaDebiasse. Day2, & students have learned shell scripting, navigating directories, and QC of RNA-seq files. Super grateful for resources from @LSU_BioSci and @LsuHpc which made this possible.
'The decay of the wood-wide web?' --> our (co-authors: Melanie Jones, Jason Hoeksema) abstract submitted to ICOM11. If you are interested but unable to attend, it's posted below. We are concerned that recent claims about CMNs in forests are disconnected from evidence.
