Hi 👋 🦋! For all new followers, I’m a microbial ecologist working with #microfluidic chip systems to better understand the lives of #fungi, how they interact with each other and other organisms (like collembola) in the soil. I also enjoy studying #plantmicrobiomes and arbuscular #mycorrhizal fungi.

Fungal mycelia are finally getting the spotlight they deserve! And how could they not? Their morphology is just stunning! We tracked our friend Absidia sp. forming this intricate exploratory mycelium, showcasing unique elongation and branching patterns #fungi #mycelium #networks

This is so true. Natural history is such an important part of ecology. Not knowing the actual organisms in the real world makes it very hard to understand the interconnectedness, and the role of time and space.

Before 1881, scientists used gelatin to grow bacteria. It worked—until the cultures melted in summer or got devoured by bacteria! Microbiology needed a better solution. Enter Fanny Hesse, a lab assistant with a brilliant idea
