The last chapter of my PhD is out in Nature Communications! We show that the formation of different soil organic matter pools is associated with distinct microbial traits, and that synergies among traits promote SOM quantity, stability and functional complexity. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Microbes in freshwater rivers are “master orchestrators of nutrient and energy flows” … Learn more about who’s who and who’s doing what, thanks to a newly-released study that mapped our river #microbes. @JGI KBase National Microbiome Data Collaborative Colorado State University newscenter.lbl.gov/2024/11/22/cat…

Are you attending #agu24 & curious about soil viruses? Bring your coffee & come chat w/me at my poster Weds morning titled “Resolving viral contributions to soil ecosystem functioning: a spatially designed multi-omic approach” Session B31I, Poster 1387. Pretty field pics below!

Sure googly eyes in the lab are fun, but have you considered the biblically accurate 96-well plate?

Published! Our framework organizes N cycle research through a microbial lens. Rather than focus exclusively on inputs, we emphasize internal recycling and plant-soil microbe uptake processes. We hope this helps frame research and communicate options to growers.
