I'm excited to announce that after 12 wonderful, supportive years at @UTKMicrobiology, I'm moving my lab to the Earth Sciences Dept. at U. Southern California @USC_earth @USCDornsif. I can't wait to join all you great geobiologists on the west coast!.

Another successful cruise on the RV Sharp getting in situ methanotrophy rates on the Atlantic slope! UROV helped us retrieve a lost lander - not bad-looking for sitting at the bottom of the ocean for a year. Great help from students Anna Hildebrand and Leland Wood too! @NSF

It's hard to do a global survey of the subsurface biosphere, because samples are hard to find. But with the Census of Deep Life, out of the Deep Carbon Observatory, we came pretty dang close! Kudos to @EmilRuff for herding all us cats and pulling this off!.

Once again, @kathywall75 is my favorite photographer of all time. A colander in an eclipse. What a great idea!

This is awesome. Being able to measure per-cell respiration rates (rather than dividing bulk-measured rates by the total number of cells) in a low energy natural, anoxic setting is unprecedented!.

Oh this is so sad. Craig was such an inspiring person to work with on a project when I was a grad student. I learned so much from him. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Professor Craig Cary tragically passed away yesterday. A brilliant scientist who wrote many influential papers in both Antarctic and hydrothermal microbiology. An even greater mentor, who uplifted so many with his relentless enthusiasm, creativity, and encouragement. 1/2
