My final PhD thesis chapter was published last week! Very happy to share this-- we used metaproteomics, metatranscriptomics, and many measurements of dissolved metal chemistry to document Zn limitation of phyotplankton in Terra Nova Bay, Antarctica.

Zinc stimulation of phytoplankton in a low-carbon-dioxide, coastal Antarctic environment: evidence for the Zn hypothesis
Abstract. The ocean acts as a carbon sink, absorbing carbon from the atmosphere and resulting in substantial uptake of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. As biological processes in the oceans such as net…

BREAKING: NSF has frozen all grant funding, as of yesterday. It's unclear when they will resume funding awards, or why the pause has been put in place. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Exclusive: NSF stops awarding new grants and funding existing ones

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

There are trans Americans right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist.
Well, I am. We are. We will.

Transgender Day of Visibility isn’t just about being seen or heard. It’s about being recognized and respected. For trans people, visibility can be empowering and at the same time dangerous, almost an impossible choice between pride and safety. Uplift our voices and make the world safe for us too.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.
This Friday, where will you be?

Between 2019 and 2023, researchers paid $8.968 billion to make papers open access. Imagine what else could be done with this money if it wasnt paid to for profit publishing companies...
