Beautiful #permafrost! Coring with @mildlybasic @Thomas_Douglas Brad Baxter and Torre and Janet Jorgenson in Kangerlussuaq Greenland!
I’d love some input!!! One of our -80 degree C freezers is not reliable anymore and we almost lost samples last night. What brands do you like and why?

What's up with ectomycorrhizal fungi? Join us as a postdoc to help us find out! (Apply at recruit.ap.ucsb.edu/JPF02772 by 24 June for full consideration.)
We're hiring a postdoc to work on tree-ectomycorrhizal mutualisms! We are looking for someone interested in working empirically (experimentally or w/ field observations). While some project ideas are listed, we welcome all other ideas in this system, too! recruit.ap.ucsb.edu/JPF02772
Fantastic colleagues, I need some help over here! For growth curves of bacteria, do you pre-incubate in liquid culture? If so, which growth phase is best before inoculating cultures for the growth curve analysis - logarithmic or stationary? Why? Please include helpful references

Professor Craig Cary tragically passed away yesterday. A brilliant scientist who wrote many influential papers in both Antarctic and hydrothermal microbiology. An even greater mentor, who uplifted so many with his relentless enthusiasm, creativity, and encouragement. 1/2
Fantastic reminder from my buds @ZoeCourville @deeb_eli and couldn’t have come at a better time! You guys are the best!

You are looking at the oldest plant ever to be regenerated, grown from 32,000-year-old seeds! A Russian team discovered a seed cache of Silene stenophylla, native to Siberia buried by an Ice Age squirrel, successfully germinated it

What happens when you change the temperature in plant-based soil microcosms? The plants recruit different #soil #microbial communities! Super excited that this is out!
Excited to share our recent paper investigating the rhizosphere microbiome under simulated snowpack conditions across three subarctic plant species. Check it out!

I’m super excited for our new @SonyBiotechInc #flowcytometer! Let’s see how it can sort and count cells we collect from cold regions! #CRRELSoilMicro @C1tizenJones @StaceyJDoherty @Lindsay0815 @bakerccm @JaimieWest
Happy #worldsoilday! Celebrating soils and the tiny creatures inside💙#CRRELSoilMicro
Attending @EuroGeosciences in Vienna? Consider submitting to our interdisciplinary session exploring all aspects of seasonal snowpack including #biogeochemistry! meetingorganizer.copernicus.… @deeb_eli @snowradar
This is my kind of paint color @BehrPaint! #permafrost I wouldn’t characterize permafrost using this color but excited to see it out there!!!
