Ok, I have a minute, let's do this. Our lab is interested in contaminants found in Alaskan waters and identifying microbes from a fish native to Alaska, three-spine stickleback, to use in bioremediation in cold water lakes. Sarah was interested in microplastics, which I wasn't really studying. 1/n
I am so proud of @spasqualetti.bsky.social and this BioRxiv paper! I have to prep for class, but later today I'll highlight some of her findings about a stickleback gut isolate that can degrade plastic and other microbes that inhibit it's ability. 🦠🔬

Cold-water gut isolate from threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) reveals polypropylene surface oxidation and co-culture inhibition
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polypropylene (PP), two of the most widely produced plastics in the United States, persist in cold-water environments where plastic-degrading microbes have been po...

#IndigenousPeoplesDay is Monday. My challenge to non-Natives: dig into the history of the people who were displaced from your land, learn about the history of how they were displaced, find out where they are now, and support them financially or by protesting with them. Go beyond platitudes.

Something climate activists who are ignoring COVID need to know: Working to reduce the harm of current pandemics, and preparing for future pandemics, is a key component of climate adaptation. Health justice isn't a distraction. The climate crisis IS a public health crisis.

Being an Indigenous faculty member is tough. I have the normal faculty role/expectations & this abyss of invisible labor. Just sitting w/my thoughts after lab work/teaching & a heavy emo institutional change discussion. Imagining how to write this in my tenure & promotion pkg.
