#2023ISEBxISSM one week to go! More abstracts coming, too

Thanks to a $160,000 National Science Foundation grant, South Dakota Mines has added a new scientific instrument that can test water for trace elements and containments. sdsmt.edu/News/New-Dione… #SouthDakotaMines #HardrockerProud

Oh hey there that’s me and my co-PI Scott! Thank you to U.S. National Science Foundation for funding this instrumentation grant! Rey has been busy analyzing water from caves, SanfordLab, bone dissolution experiments, and others! Now we don’t have to ship samples to @UTK_EPS and the Annette Summers Engel lab! 💧🧪👩‍🔬

My sister’s article for the The New York Times is live! Interested in art, climate change, and climate action? Check it out! Super proud! nytimes.com/2023/10/18/art…

#2023ISEBxISSM field trip to Lake Louise at sunrise and Cave & Basin sulfur springs. It was really cold but totally worth it 🥶🇨🇦😍

@UTK_EPS UTK Microbiology UT Institute of Agriculture representing at #2023ISEBxISSM in Banff 🇨🇦, including Steven Wilhelm Jennifer DeBruyn Hannah Rigoni Dr. Sarah W. Keenan + others like S Pfiffner & T Phelps, M Phillips, A Paterson..... In total, there was 11 TN folks! The largest US delegate group!

New publication!!! We examined soil biogeochemistry of a 21 year old animal burial. Key takeaways: decay results in long-lasting changes to soils and bones likely start to contribute to soil chemistry too! journals.plos.org/plosone/articl… 👩‍🔬☠️🦫🦫🦫🦫

We get to access some incredible localities in the Black Hills, including SanfordLab! We’re studying subsurface water geochemistry throughout western SD, using our new U.S. National Science Foundation funded instrument, training undergrads, and exploring the worlds beneath our feet. sanfordlab.org/article/resear…

Extremophiles are valuable to biologists because they have evolved unique properties that allow them to thrive in resource-poor environments. Check out how researchers from South Dakota Mines are discovering what's living in the underground water at SURF. ow.ly/A1Us50QbJ2L

Deep beneath the Black Hills, life exists unlike what's found anywhere else. We talk to two scientists studying the unique water that these unique microbes call home. listen.sdpb.org/science/2023-1…

Do you have deer antlers from out west? 🦌 Would you be willing to donate them for science? I’m seeking antlers that have been left outside. The older and uglier, the better! Please dm and we can talk details, thanks! #taphonomy

The Geobiology Society is back with our 3rd Conference, Geobiology 2025! Theme: 'Tracing the Biosphere through time' Save the date: May 20th-24th 2025 Location: Banff, AB Details coming soon! RT and share with fellow researchers 🦠🧬🌋⛰️ #Geobiology2025

We have recently partnered with the South Dakota Army National Guard to forge new relationships in South America. sdsmt.edu/news/releases/…

Coming up June 3-5: our department will be hosting the 5th Annual North American Workshop on Laser Ablation. There will be speakers and a session hosted by Oak Ridge Lab . You can register or submit an abstract to present here:nawlaworkshop.com

What is the fate of the stuff in your body after death? We review what we understand about this microbial recycling and think about what we have yet to figure out in our Trends in Microbiology paper with Dr. Sarah W. Keenan and Lois Taylor UT AgResearch doi.org/10.1016/j.tim.…

Happy Halloween! Working with Jennifer DeBruyn and all the amazing collaborators over the last 8 years on the world of decomposition has been so much fun. And there’s so much left to learn! ☠️🎃
