I am devastated to hear about the two executive orders that threaten our forests. Call your congress folks about standing up for our forests & block the actions from:
"Immediate Expansion of American Timber Production"
& "Addressing The Threat To National Security from Imports of Timber, Lumber"
"Immediate Expansion of American Timber Production"
& "Addressing The Threat To National Security from Imports of Timber, Lumber"
It's important to parse out that this is veiled as a "national security" issue/threat. But what it really is, is an excuse and an opening to deforest our protected land.
- Climate change
- Increased foot traffic at almost ALL national parks (16% since 2010)
- Decreased staffing (20% since 2010)

We interrupt your regularly-scheduled chaos to bring you some cool microbiome science. 🦠 🖥️ 🧬
"Longitudinal phage–bacteria dynamics in the early life gut microbiome" now out in Nature Microbiology.
We wanted a way to measure bacteria and phage in metagenomes 1/

Longitudinal phage–bacteria dynamics in the early life gut microbiome - Nature Microbiology
Reanalysis of 12,262 longitudinal infant gut microbiome samples using the Marker-MAGu pipeline revealed phage–bacteria dynamics over the first year of life.

And a special double #protistsonsky from me today with a second protist from rainforest soil. This testate amoeba has awoken from stasis (dry soil), but hasn't quite emerged from its protective plug. At least that's how I interpret this... in cold weather back in Maine I see something similar!

Still can't get over the beauty of the spiral shaped amphid 🌀 of this female Achromadora sp. This algae 🦠 and diatom feeder was found in soil from cultivated maize/corn fields in South Africa 🌍. Usually found in aquatic environments and amongst mosses 🏞️ #nematode #ecology #FreeLivinfNematodes

I used the nodule-crushing method throughout my PhD and postdoc work on rhizobia, and it works!
Here we diluted the crushed nodule bacterial community to evenly inoculate our rhizobia (R+) plants! bit.ly/41rwc5S
I find full communities to be more effective than individual isolates, in most cases.
