NEW PAPER 🚨 Curious how plant root exudation and soil texture might interact to form dynamic anoxic microsites in the #rhizosphere, and what they might mean for the fate of soil #carbon, nutrient or contaminent in #soils? Check out @soiltycoon.bsky.social's new paper in SBB: doi.org/10.1016/j.so...

Scientists are expected to do peer reviewing but no one tells you HOW. After talking with several folks about this today at #AGU24 , it seems a good time to link to this presentation I made several years ago -- feel free to use/share! docs.google.com/presentation...

“There are very few deaf geoscientists, but with better access to geoscience signs maybe we can see geosciences become more diverse.”

My latest for Eos explores how Deaf scientists create new ASL signs to make STEM more accessible to everyone.

Who's coming to #AGU24?

❄️ Curious how changing winters reshape ecosystems? Explore how warmer temps and shifting snow dynamics disrupt mutualisms, alter nutrient cycles, and transform ecosystems. From soil microbes to weather systems, we dive into winter's cascading climate impacts. See you in DC!

So excited to introduce LabSigns - our PNNL-led project where we compiled and developed new technical #ASL signs for the #geosciences!

Newest paper out of the lab- microbiomes from dried soils reflect those in frozen soils, even after 8 years. @joeedwards.bsky.social @joe-bailey.bsky.social @jenschweitzer.bsky.social and others.
Clean out those freezers folks you can use your dried soil samples for microbiome sequencing! New papers with some awesome folks where we found minimal impacts of 8+ years of air-dried storage versus freezing
