That was so much fun!!! Love giving these workshops!

Zero to hero in statistical analysis in R!

This feels like a critical next step for microbial ecology. 🌍
Not just “who’s there,” but what kind of world they’re living in.

Let’s talk. Who’s working on this?

Then take it a step further:
Can we jointly assess microbial and chemical beta diversity in a single, unified analysis? 🔗🧫📊
Imagine the insight we could gain.

Can we build something like UniFrac, but for chemicals? 📐💥
We already have MS2 spectral similarity through tools like GNPS molecular networking—why not use this to define biochemical beta diversity?

Microbes live in biochemical environments they help shape—this is the biochemical ecology. 🧬🌱
Untargeted metabolomics captures this, but we still lack great tools to compare samples in ecological terms.

It’s like counting animals on a savannah without noticing the grass, trees, rocks, or soil. 🐘🌾🌳🪨
You get a species list—but not the ecosystem that gives it meaning.
