A week or two late sharing this but here is the most recent BONCAT-FACS paper lead by Dr Viola Krukenberg looking at polysaccharide degradation in deep-sea hydrothermal sediments. doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.…

{MetBrewer} 📦 is officially on Cran 🥳🥳. Contains 50 palettes (including 18 colorblind-friendly) inspired by works at the The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Bring some art to your #dataviz with palettes for every purpose! Ready to use with: install.packages("MetBrewer") #MetBrewer #rstats #r4ds

Amended and incubated metagenomes from the Five Sister 5 hot spring now publicly available. Hopefully this serves as a sample description for these data on IMG/M.

Happy Earth Day. We’re going to be growing bell peppers to go a little green. So out of the ~200 we may eat in a year, at least 5-10 will be home grown. #sustainability

It’s #WorldMicrobiomeDay and while I’m mainly in agricultural soil microbiome research now, hot spring microbiomes will always be my favorite.

One year into my post-doc at PNNL, 0 publications but 1 grant proposal accept. Felt like a productive year 🤷‍♂️. Here’s to year two!

One of the projects I am apart of at PNNL. Excited to see what we can come up with coupling ABPs with FACS and omics for predictive phenomics modeling

Looking for opinions on the best/updated amplicon sequencing barcode set to use. Hoping for something universal for multiple primer types for a core group. #science #pcr #illumina

Currently traveling to Houston for #ASMicrobe and will be presenting during the IDS032 Influencing your neighbor session Saturday morning on my work with activity based probes enriching lignocellulolytic communities for live cell assays post-FACS. Let’s chat about some science 😎

Happy to have had a chance to talk about my research and time at PNNL. I’m currently in the final year of my postdoc and will soon be looking for future opportunities in the microbial physiology and multi-omics workspace.

If I get promising results by noon on the Friday before holiday break, is that a sign to wrap up the day early?
