FoCo! My partner Josué Rodríguez-Ramos 🇵🇷 is giving his defense seminar today! Come support this amazing human and hear some cool research about viruses and rivers! 🦠 🏞️

Please RT! We have an open #PostdoctoralResearcher position in ecology and biogeography in our lab BioGeo Göttingen Uni Göttingen. 3 + 3 yrs. All details are here: uni-goettingen.de/de/644546.html… Deadline: 04.07.2023. Earliest starting date: 01.10.2023 DM or email me with questions.

You've heard about blue carbon, but how important is teal carbon (inland water carbon)? Come to our session to find out and celebrate the end of #ASLO2023 #ASLO23. Friday 15:00 - 18:30 in Sala Menorca B. Rumors that John Downing will be raffling off his favorite Spanish gin...

How hard is it to do science in a language that’s not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences. doi.org/10.1371/journa… 1/9

For those creating syllabi on environmental and/or climate justice, we have an open database of readings centering Black, Indigenous, Asian, and/or Latinx authors! Also, if you have new articles to add to the database let me know! The lab is updating the syllabus this week.

Besides co-chairing a session I’ll also be presenting TWICE tomorrow! In the AM: poster about my postdoc work on site scale variability in litter decomp with MIMICS In the PM: doing my best Will Wieder impression for his talk on a global implementation of MIMICS-CN #AGU23

New paper just dropped! Excited to finally share this study where we used metatranscriptomics to disentangle the nitrogen cycle in a tropical lake. Spoiler alert: DNRA abounds! journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.11… Big thanks to coauthors Ed Hall Kelly Wrighton Mikayla A. Borton and Rebecca Daly!

During my prelims, Kelly Wrighton asked me 'why would a bug do DNRA instead of denitrification?' and I didn't have an answer. Four years later, I'm excited to finally have an answer and to share it next week at #OSM24.

We are recruiting a PhD student! Please see the attached ad!

New paper out discussing how existing aquaculture farms can act as perturbation experiments for understanding foundational ecosystem ecology! Emily Zakem Elena Litchman Ed Hall aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

Please cite all R resources in your papers. A lot of effort has been paid to develop them. This package make it easy to do so.

When visiting Wisconsin, I'm pretty sure it's mandatory to finish up your talk over a basket of cheese curds. For anyone interested in nitrogen metabolisms and cheese curd fueled science, I'll be giving a talk in Thursday's AM session in Hall F (SS03A) #ASLO24

I wish I could bottle the enthusiasm and science stoke I feel at conferences. Thanks to all the organizers and participants for a great #ASLO24

This summer, Carnegie Global Ecology hosted 6 research interns who worked on topics ranging from grassland invasive species to tidal pool aquatic biogeochemistry. Thank you, Alex, Asha, Elise, Morgan, Sabrina, and Stefany, for spending the summer with us!

One the best parts of being Editor of the #ASLO_Bulletin is the people I get to work with - especially the team of Associate Editors 🤩 See my interview with the outgoing and incoming AEs in the most recent issue of the Bulletin: aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/lo…
