Associate professor of Biology @ArcticBiology @uafairbanks researching plant-microbe interactions, antimicrobial resistance, emerging pathogens.
Fairbanks, AK, USA
Joined March 2009
Excited to be speaking about our @uafairbanks based research on boreal forest soil microbes at London Calling 21 #nanoporeconf Online and Free registration at
Climate change is causing permafrost-associated soils to thaw, with many potential repercussions for affected communities. @devindrown is using metagenomic sequencing to study possible repercussions — from plant health to the spread of #AMR

Will the mk1d sequence Alaskan soil samples in the field? Stay tuned! @nanopore #anythinganyoneanywhere

The MinION mk1b couldn't handle the cold. Looks like the mk1d might be a better fit for Alaskan soil research at these temperatures!

Great news! Despite the fridge reaching -1°C, the MinION mk1d seems to be holding its own internally! Check out the flow cell temperature.

Woohoo! Fridge temperatures reached -1°C, way below the MinION mk1d's typical range (+10°C to +35°C). Can it handle the cold for research in the field?

Testing the limits for Alaskan soil microbes! Put a MinION mk1d to the fridge test (new! +10°C to +35°C range) to see how it compares to the mk1b. @nanopore

Congratulations to Jorda Kovash on her NSF Graduate Research Fellowship! 🥳 Jorda’s studying an emerging fungal pathogen killing aspen in Alaska. I have the pleasure of coadvising her with @SchuetteUrsel at @uafairbanks. #yayteamyay

Where did this start? With a @nanopore hackathon https://t.co/KAQe2D5XGb
@miles_benton and additional support from @AlaskaINBRE @uafblast #AnythingAnyoneAnywhere
We’ve had a busy several weeks sifting through @nanopore sequencing generated from our Alaska Portable Genomics Hackathon. Students are now busy preparing a presentation for @uafairbanks Research Days. #GPUHackathon #anythinganyoneanywhere

I'm looking to recruit a PhD student beginning in Fall 2024 to develop theory and methods for studying genotype-by-environment interactions. We're specifically interested in how GxE is affected by phenomena such as habitat choice. Please RT and get in touch ASAP if interested!
