A bit late, but big congrats to lab member @vanmensel for defending her PhD thesis at @GLIERUWINDSOR last month! Danielle worked on sediment-microbe dynamics and pathogen assessment at Essex County beaches. Here we are faking science in one of our many joyful photoshoots.

A throwback photo of @Uwin_NFalk & @vanmensel dreaming about finishing their PhD degrees in Environmental Science @GLIERUWINDSOR. Well guess what? It happened! Danielle completed her defense back in October and Nick just completed his defense this month! Congrats to you both!

Having an infant and finishing a PhD is writing a dissertation 3 sentences at a time- and calling that success. @Momademia

Pregnancy in the lab (Slater et al 2022) - a short communication, starting the conversation. An excellent read. Let’s keep the convo going because pregnancy and parenthood are hard in any career, but we all need support. https://t.co/1Qa2dvXXnx

https://t.co/qWBIR7QWxq Check out our newest publication. We successfully sequenced microbial RNA associated with freshwater flocs and identified pathogenic-related gene expression. This research is the first to investigate the microbial metatranscriptome of suspended sediment..

#FeatureFridayWeisenerLab: @falkemup started with the lab completing a masters and has continued working on a PhD focusing on how microbial communities work together to breakdown and store unwanted contaminants and nutrients associated with agriculture and industrial land use
