Good to scream a little about all going on in our country, even in subzero F wind chills here in snow-covered Madison WI. Maybe a few in the halls of power will hear and act on how cruel, unAmerican, and doing nothing about “efficiency” this is all about. #FiftyFiftyOne

🌱🔬The most time-intensive and difficult paper of my PhD is now published in #mSystemsJ! I'm proud of this work and also how much I've grown since I first started this experiment. Read on to learn more about how the functions of bacterial communities impact plant growth and health. 👇

Microbial people! Especially postdocs and maybe some assistant professors who are feeling antsy ... the University of Montana is doing a search for a microbiologist! This is a great department, in a great place. (I worked there for 10 years, loved it, ping me with Qs)
