@thecrobe Check out @vanbaellab and @emilycfarrer. It’s not AMF specific but related!

I am writing a personal essay for a fellowship app about being the captain of a Mardi Gras Krewe #nola

Other than “trim down” I can never figure out how to tell students to stop writing like Perd Hapley

@thecrobe I had a similar issue when running the stats (permanovas) on repeated samples- basically needed a random effect but couldn’t include one in vegan. I ran the perms manual with a how() arg. Can send resources if applicable to your analysis

I dropped my entire lunch on the ground and my tea bag broke

What is a word you constantly write and typo? I’ll go first- communitity.

I haven’t met a single grad student at @ESA_org who is planning to stay in academics.

R told me that what I’m attempting to do “is nonsense”

An ichthyologist, limnologist, and microbial ecologist walk into a bar. They spend the whole time shitting on ornithologists.

How fast do microbes change? What is a “disturbance” for soil bacteria? What happens when you dump salt on a marsh for two years? Come find out!! #ESA2022 #microbes #soilecology Rm 513F @ 10:15

[Susannah Halbrook @Susannah_Hal]

Come learn about soil microbial stability and disturbance response in Louisiana wetlands Thursday @ 10:15!! #ESA2022 #microbes

“How do we measure microbial evolution? Poorly”- Such a fun and exciting session this morning on microbial eco-evo processes! Can’t wait continue these convos more this week #ESA2022
Thanks @scbagby for the honest and hilarious answer about microbial research

[Susannah Halbrook @Susannah_Hal]

@WomenInSoilEco Thanks for kicking off the week! A workshop and meeting my peers was such a great start to my conference experience.

Getting excited for my talk at @ESA_org after re-reading my own abstract. It’s so easy to think your research is boring, but my original pitch got me fired up! Thur 10:15 #ESA2022 #Microbes #soil
