This week members of @jpbacteria’s lab tested #microplastic monitoring protocols for our project in the Schuylkill River — researching spatiotemporal differences in #microbial and #biogeochemical processes along the #freshwatermarinecontinuum, especially those relevant to MP!

How stable are bacterial genomes as they adapt to an environment? My collaboration with @anuraglimdi, @EvolSys, @RELenski, and @ten_olivier exploring this over 50,000 generations of evolution is out today! 1/ science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Nice commentary from Chris Kempes @sfiscience on our lab's recent paper with @sayra_spinhalf and @AshishBGeorge1. Great overview and puts our work in a bigger picture of the recent discoveries in the macroecology of microbiomes: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23…

It is challenging to predict how organic matter #DOM respond to #climatechange. Here we develop an indicator to quantify aggregated thermal response of individual organic molecules, and show how their thermal responses are linked to #warming, #nutrient loading and #GHG

It was such a pleasure visiting collaborators (@microanand2003) and meeting new people at NCPOR. Very excited to continue our work together!
Dr John Paul Balmonte, Assistant Prof. in the Dept. of Earth and Environmental Sciences and the Lehigh Oceans Research Center at @LehighU, #Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA, visited NCPOR & delivered a talk entitled “Microbes and their enzymes in changing environments” on 13.12.23.
