Visiting the permafrost tunnel is always awesome. Looking forward to the cool (ha) data we’ll get from these cores!

My current lab set up. Notice the attention to ergonomics, supreme organization, and comfortable temperatures.

I guess a positive of getting Covid now is that I don’t have to worry about getting it at AGU in a few weeks

Well - crap - the dump is Closed for Thanksgiving - who has ever heard of a dump closed for Thanksgiving?

Lots of people in LA complaining about the rain. But the rain brought me chanterelles, which may not happen again with any regularity. So I'll happily munch on my mushrooms and utter not a word of complaint.

An interesting Winogradsky column from my microbial diversity class. This is about 4 weeks in and the sediment sample (brought in by a student) nearly cleared the classroom with the strong H2S smell.

Very excited! This is an edge-case use of BONCAT-FACS in a difficult system with low biomass/activity. I'm grateful to reviewers and the JGI for supporting this "high-risk high-reward" project. Also grateful to Tom Douglas. See you at the permafrost tunnel to collect samples!

When you have a great team and permafrost sampling goes exceptionally well, you can sometimes take a few hours off to play with sled dogs

Permafrost friends, the abstract deadline for the next International Conference on Permafrost (ICOP) in Whitehorse is December 8th! There are two permafrost microbiology sessions. Submit your abstracts here: event.fourwaves.com/999e4551-2c44-…

Hey T-Mobile T-Mobile Help I just took a close look at my bill and you've been overcharging me for almost a year, totaling more than $300. Customer support will refund $50 but says that my account might be cancelled if they refund more. They say nothing more can be done. Help?

Question: will thawing permafrost release ancient viruses and initiate new pandemics? Answer: probably not. See our new article in msystems. With @soilbiogeochem Robyn Barbato @SchuetteUrsel and Andrey Ramey journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ms…

Attn ASM 2025 attendees interested in Mars, astrobiology, and sample return! I'll be speaking Fri June 20 (10:45am, AES Track Hub, Exhibit Hall) on the frontiers of microbial life detection in context of (potentially) returning samples from Mars. Hope to see you there! #ASMicrobe
