I live with a menagerie and with humans. I study environmental microbiology in the coastal zone and in sewage. I also have hobbies I sometimes do. Views are my own.

If you’re interested in the working where science and policy overlap, this paid fellowship is fantastic! It’s a 1 year paid internship in the executive or legislative branch. As a former fellow I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Please spread the word about 3 tenure track, hard-money microbiome faculty positions. These are well-resourced, come with their own grants, few teaching requirements (but lots of opportunities), potential footprint in our marine lab.
