BIOS313 (Intro. microbiology) Students created “microbial wiki” pages on an organism of their choosing n presented their findings in a poster session. So proud of how awesome the students did n the effort n fun they had (thanks @tolarchaeota.bsky.social for the idea). #academicSky #newpi 🦠🌊🧬🧫🪸🧪

Another (3rd) sampling trip collecting bacterioplankton and virus in a critical ecosystem after this summers heatwave is done ✅! Lucky to have a great colleague and friend @ianhewson.bsky.social on the project! 🌊☀️ 🦠🧫 #microsky

Friday day of school… I mean teaching. Excited for lecture 1 of practice bioinformatics for biologists. Thanks to the hubby for the @lululemon fit to make sure I look 😊 #microsky 🦠🧫

Successful day two of sampling looking at how this summers heatwave impacted aquatic and animal microbiomes #niu #niusustainability 🦠🧫🌊💻🧬

Day one (2nd trip) of sampling in the Florida Keys with @ianhewson.bsky.social. We are collection baseline data to assess how how the huge summer heatwave in Florida impacted microbes and ecosystem processes such a nutrient cycling @NIUSustain @NIUlive 🦠🧬🧫🌊

Misty but beautiful run on UWisc campus this AM before heading back into some fun Sci brainstorming with @quendi.bsky.social and @karthik-a.bsky.social 🦠🧫🌊

This… I think we all should sit on this and digest it. Remember the power of provide space and time for ppl to be their most unapologetic, authentic self

So excited to collect my first samples as an Assistant prof at NIU. Was in the FL Key asking how microbes are responding to the unprecedented heatwave w Ian Hewson of Cornell. Humbled by the temps we saw and it’s impact on our beautiful ocean.
