The people have asked for a color-blind scheme, better labelling, and access to data. The people shall receive what they want (except for appropriate salaries) Link to data: github.com/mongiardino/as…

!!! PhD chapter #2 is now out in The ISME Journal! This study uses a unique multidecadal chronosequence of burn piles to address whether the soil microbiome is resilient during a burning-induced aboveground ecosystem shift (1/3) academic.oup.com/ismej/article/…

Does anyone have a multi-mode plate reader that they love?! Looking for something that will read absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence, with bonus points for intuitive software and an overall design that will last for decades.

Read about pyrophilous fungi and interviews featuring me Dr. Amelia Nelson Kuhn Monika Fischer Laura Bogar et al

My friend and collaborator Manuel is looking for PhD students to join his new lab in Mexico!! If you're interested in fungal genomics, this is a great opportunity. Please retweet! #Fungi #Genomics #Obesity #CRISPR

Thrilled to announce that I will be joining UBC Botany and @ubcforestry as an Assistant Professor very soon! Stay tuned for updates from the Fischer Fire Fungi Lab, opening this fall in beautiful, fungiful, Vancouver, BC! 🔥🍄🔥

So excited for Vayu to fully realize his fungal biology / culinary technology dreams!!! This lab is gonna be one to watch for sure! 👀 …congrats!!! 🍻

Our lab is recruiting a lab manager / technician! Please consider applying or help circulate. Applications due July 10. jobs.wisc.edu/jobs/lab-manag…

Anyone have (recent) experience shipping soils, genetically modified organisms, and/or living biological samples (i.e. 🍄) from the USA 🇺🇸 > 🇨🇦Canada??? I’d love to chat with you! 😁

📣🍄 Love fungi? Be our voice! We are hiring a Communications Director! Spread the word! fundis.org/about/jobs

The Hill-Maini lab website is live Stanford Bioengineering Stanford University. We are hiring for multiple postdocs who are excited about synbio/food/sustainability in filamentous fungi and building an inclusive and lab culture that fosters creativity! Spread the word!!! hillmainilab.com

"UBC Forestry has an incredible research community representing a broad diversity of approaches and perspectives."🍄🔥 Meet Monika Fischer, the newest #UBCForestry and UBC Botany Assistant Professor👋 💡 Get to know her in our latest In The Spotlight: bit.ly/3WruK0k

Check out our new paper in Geoderma - the global #OA journal of soil science! This is my first first-authorship and sets the stage for the use of pile burns as a proxy for high severity wildfires in soil microbiome research, potentially filling in temporal gaps in the lit 🔥 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New paper in Nature Communications - Drivers and Impacts of the Record-Breaking 2023 Wildfire Season in Canada. The 2023 wildfire season in Canada was unprecedented in its scale and intensity. rdcu.be/dRs0B

New work out of Steve Free's lab characterizes the biosynthetic pathway to synthesize galactosaminogalactan, which acts as an adhesive, in Neurospora. Loss of any pathway gene causes a loss of polysaccharides. Great job, Steve and team! mdpi.com/2076-2607/12/8…

My 3rd PhD chapter with @wilkinslab is now out in ISME Communications! We use an 11 year wildfire burn scar chronosequence in CO/WY to discern whether different microbial life history strategies help taxa thrive/survive in burned soils 🦠🔥 academic.oup.com/ismecommun/art…

Heartbreaking news. Serious question: how do we get more sustainable funding for precious resources like this? cbc.ca/amp/1.7360805

SO much fungal diversity at UBC right now! Twas lovely to share with this great group - thanks for organizing UBC Botany Grad Student Assoc. (BGSA) !! We’ll do it again soon!
