If I throw my manuscript into the forest, have I submitted it to Nature?

The United Kingdom is to open its first body farm — a site where researchers study the decomposition of human remains. go.nature.com/2Y7icdF

Congratulations to Dr. Sreejata Bandopadhyay, Ph.D. on a successful dissertation defense and best of luck in Michigan! To celebrate our lab made her a soil profile cake complete with a mini representation of the field plots she studied for her project. 🤗

👩🏼‍🔬📝🔎New publication officially out today! Carrion ☠️ leaves a lasting (and dispersed) isotopic signature in soils.🔓biogeosciences.net/16/3929/2019/

Congratulations to Jose @PlasticBacteria on a successful thesis defense! In a continuation of our lab's #BakeYourThesis tradition, we are celebrating with a cake complete with "mesh bags" used for assessing in situ biodegradation. #BiodegradableMulch #USDAfunded UTK Microbiology

Did you know UTK Microbiology has one of the largest (and perhaps most fun) collections of microbial ecologists in the country! Now accepting applications for funded graduate assistants for fall 2020. Come study algae, marine bacteria, sedimentary archaea or Giant Viruses!!!

So pleased to have been asked to write a blog post for the GSBI discussing my research!

Exciting times lie ahead for this field! Pleased to be part of this Undark Magazine story about the use of microbes in forensics. (undark.org/2019/11/11/how…) #forensics #necrobiome #NIJfunded #WomenInSTEM #WomenInScience

What kind of nematodes love decomposing carcasses? Find out in our latest #PLOSONE pub: dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa… Lois Taylor UT AgResearch

New paper from our lab! We compared pig and human decomposition impacts on the soil using microbial activities and untargeted metobolomic profiles: frontiersin.org/article/10.338… UT AgResearch Sreejata Bandopadhyay, Ph.D. Lois Taylor @TheBodyFarm_UTK

Interested in microbes and microplastics? I'm looking for motivated PhD students to join my lab to work on microbial interactions with microplastics in soil environments. Please RT!! bess.tennessee.edu/debruyn-labora…

Erika Engelhaupt describes the "riot of wet, squishy biology" that is the #necrobiome in an excellent new article. Featuring our work at @TheBodyFarm_UTK with Lois Taylor @Katieanna618 UT AgResearch popularmechanics.com/science/health…

Congratulations to Dr. Allison Mason on a successful dissertation defense!

I’m really proud of this work from my PhD. Check it now in mSphere!
