my first 5k is in a few days and I finally hit my goal of running 1.5 miles (~half of the 5k) without stopping!! 🏃🏻‍♀️ When I tweeted this, I struggled to finish a half mile 😅

first 5k in the books! Was able to run more than half of it, which was my goal 🏃🏻‍♀️💨

📢 New publication! Treatise article led by Katy Rico in Treatise on Geochemistry, 3rd Edition. Read ➡️ Mysteries of metallome evolution: Integrating insights from the Earth and life sciences: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 🦠🤝⛰️ MUSE Astrobiology NASA Astrobiology: Exploring Life in the Universe School of Earth and Space Exploration UW–Madison

stumbled upon this book at a free little library and so glad I picked it up. Looking forward to doing some hiking in Banff next year! 🥾

When asked to draw a scientist, school-age kids in the United States are increasingly sketching women, according to a study from 2018. Read more on #STEMSTEAMDay: bit.ly/3CghCUd

We said goodbye to Morgan Sobol today as she embarks on a new adventure, launching her own microbial evolution & astrobio research lab at Texas State. We are so incredibly proud of you —godspeed, Professor Sobol! We will miss you.🥹 🚨PS: Grad students and postdocs, email her!

can I finish 20 books in the next month and a half? probably not but let’s see how close I get

📢 Latest preprint alert ➡️ Ancient proteins 🤝 Alphafold We combined phylogenetics, ancestral sequence reconstruction, crystallography and deep learning based structural prediction and resurrected three billion years of an enzyme's structural history👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

It’s been about 6 weeks since my fiancé and I adopted our first dog and she’s been both the greatest joy and stress of my life 😵‍💫❤️

I’m thrilled to be opening my lab at Texas State University in the Department of Biology TXST dept. this January!! We will be studying early microbial ecology and evolution. 🦠 🌎 I’m extremely grateful for the support of my mentors, colleagues, family, and friends! ❤️ Contact me for openings. #newPI #1stgen

Out today! 🚨 We explore how planetary oxidation ~2.5 billion years ago shaped the puzzling history of metal use in nitrogenase, key to nitrogen fixation! 🌍🔬 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… work led by Morgan Sobol, Holly Rucker, in collab. with Eric Libby & Ariel Anbar.
