I made a short Instagram story about #biocrusts I spent the last few days looking at Mojave crusts which are soooo different than my coastal California sites. Thanks @AskACABotanist for putting on this workshop!

Microbial taphonomy of Ginkgo leaves in fine-grained substrates: how sediment type facilitates preservation https://t.co/2ISMEUgrE3 @briecology #FossilFriday

Please share this with anyone who may be interested in a post-doc in 🇩🇪 https://t.co/lf5TRlTWQ3 An exciting opportunity to push the boundaries of what is known regarding the molecular basis of the formation and demise of photosymbiotic relationships in marine habitats.

THURSDAY! - CalBotSoc Botany Speaker: Jodi McGraw - THURSDAY! - CalBotSoc Botany Speaker: Jodi McGraw, Ph.D. - "Effects of the CZU Lightning Complex Fire on the recovery of Santa Cruz and Butano cypress" https://t.co/kzeuKYTEG9

Someone go to this and tell me all about it please!

We have a 3-year postdoc position in our group at the HIFMB to study plasmids and plasmids systems of the marine environment to survey their utility in microbial responses to environmental change. Please see the official job ad here and spread the word: https://t.co/ADOI2xAZnF

Now that I have a baby, it is time to decide which sports franchises he will be forced to support for the rest of his life and in the battle of the @Rockies versus the @Padres, my home team (Rockies) are making it really hard to justify bringing in a new baby fan.

The German parliament has strengthened maternity protection for women who have suffered miscarriages. The new regulation would grant maternity leave to women who miscarry after the 13th week of pregnancy. https://t.co/hD9nbn351F

Just a heads-up for American TikTok users living abroad: I also lost access and had to make a new account from Germany. It must know I made my original account while I was living in the US.

Ten species comprise half of the bacteriology literature, leaving most species unstudied @biorxiv_micrbio by Paul A Jensen https://t.co/4R66AEWGXa B. subtilis is #6 😍, anyhow, the literature is biased to models Would publications on plants or animals be similarly biased?

We recently published an experimental taphonomy paper analyzing the effect of sediment composition on the biofilm microbial community of water lilies and assessing what this means for leaf preservation. https://t.co/Uhw7EiHwNW

I think I covered all the scientific publishing milestones this week. - One page proofs submitted 💪 - One manuscript submitted 🤞 - One manuscript rejected 🤷🏼‍♀️ - One paper published 🤩 And maybe a soon to be pre-print? Nothing like an impending deadline to get things done 🤰

For women in academia, barriers to having children aren't just finding partners or preserving fertility. It's systemic barriers—relentless relocations, temporary contracts, focus on individual achievement—planning for a family is like an impossible luxury. https://t.co/itwB9c9odw

Storage at room temperature is a cost-effective and practical preservation method for dry biocrust microbial communities.

Waiting for statement by German chancellor Olaf Scholz on his decision to sack his finance minister Christian Lindner tonight. This is the beginning of the end of Germany’s three-way coalition. What a day to break up the German government. #USElection2024

We ran 80,000 election simulations and women are pissed off and well-organized in every one of them

#JOBALERT! Biologist with Forst Collins Science Center to assess #restoration outcomes. Apply by TOMORROW:

New preprint up! We sequenced hundreds of samples from across one of Earth's oldest living organisms - the Pando aspen clone - to understand how mutations accumulate and spread in long-lived clonal organisms. Our results were…surprising. 1/30
