Excited to share the pre-print for the 2nd chapter of my PhD! We leveraged time-series data from 6 subsurface shale wells to understand how host-virus dynamics and the size and frequency of CRISPR arrays may change through time. Check it out! Simon Roux

Our research is hardCORE!@ddemeloferreira Kelly Wrighton and the team were excited to collect core samples to study methane cycling microbes! #teamworkmakesthedreamwork Mikayla A.

Last week, we met in person (for the 1st time!) for our annual EMERGE retreat in Arizona at Biosphere 2! It was a wonderful few days of talks, brainstorming, and Team Science!! It was a great way to add momentum to 2023!! #ecosystems #SciTS #microbiology #biogeochemistry



What a great day to be a #CSU Ram-Kelly Wrighton was awarded the Gordon and Joan Bishop Professorship! Congrats!



Check out recent article about the pilot cohort of the NMDC Ambassador Program- a community learning model in microbiome research and biological data stewardship National Microbiome Data Collaborative

Can microbes and viruses coexist? How can CRISPR help reveal these relationships? Come find out at the morning contributed talks! Kaela Amundson, PhD

Come listen to Josué Rodríguez-Ramos 🇵🇷 ‘s contributed talk about viral dynamics in rivers

Fire and Ice! Contributed talks this afternoon about pile burns as a proxy for severe wildfires Julie Fowler, M.S. and methanotrophic metabolism in the permafrost Jared Ellenbogen!

Thank you to everyone who attended my successful dissertation defense this week LSU College of the Coast & Environment ! Wrapping up at LSU is bittersweet - I am so excited to contribute to The Wrighton Lab at CSU but I will miss my PhD Pals 💜💛


We are excited to congratulate Dr. Josué Rodríguez-Ramos 🇵🇷 on a successful defense! He has been a champion for DEIJ, FAIR research practices and an excellent member of our lab! Kelly Wrighton MJ Wilkins Ed Hall @DirtySci CSU College of Agricultural Sciences CSU_Ecology


Check out our new preprint on DNA viruses along a permafrost thaw gradient. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Simon Roux @Varsani_lab Kelly Wrighton @Lab_Sullivan Virginia Rich Mikayla A. Borton Ben WoOdcroft Scott Saleska




Happy to share our work published this week in mBio linking gut microbial metabolism to human disease. NIH Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) Kelly Wrighton Mike Shaffer OSU Center of Microbiome Science
