Postdoc/geobiologist in the Gold Lab @UCDavis interested in lipid biomarker biosynthesis and pathway evolution. First gen, @ChicoState and @Stanford alum! 🧬
@JacquelynGill I did well in ochem but it hurt my heart to see so many of my peers struggling. That and I was disappointed that the course seemed to be structured like we we were all going to do organic synthesis our whole lives even though most of us were bio majors 🤷♀️
Discovery of two archaeal GDGT lipid modifying enzymes reveals diverse microbes capable of H-GDGT biosynthesis and modification | bioRxiv https://t.co/PsBkv2DwTd
Very excited to share this new finding - experimental demonstration of methanogenesis in a novel member of the archaeoglobaceae suggests many other archaeal lineages containing divergent MCRs are also functional methanogens (even outside the euryarchaeota). 🎉
My main PhD project is finally out!

In our newest paper just out in @ScienceMagazine we show that tiny marine worms from the Mediterranean can do what animals aren’t supposed to, make their own #phytosterol.

After a drought-induced reveal of Miocene-era fossils in 2021, a deluge of recent rain exposed others lurking just below the surface in one of the largest discoveries of its kind in California. https://t.co/SA5ItTdrqa
Cards are still rolling in and entries are still being made, but as of right now, we’ve logged OVER 2000 SIGNED UNION CARDS! ❤️🌲 THANK YOU, STANFORD GRADS!
Today, Stanford graduate workers have announced our intent to unionize! Follow along and join us in solidarity as we fight to make Stanford a fair and safe workplace by giving graduate workers a real voice in our wellbeing. Stanford works because WE do! #StanfordGWU#SGWU
@markowenmartin There are so many good people still there and I’m so devasted and worried and angry and all the things. But thank you so much for talking about it.
Debra Larson: I signed the settlement keeping the Title IX investigation out of his file because it was part of negotiations/legally we didn't have to include it. Then I signed off on his promotion to full because the Title IX wasn't in his file.
I can't.
