Great article with contributions from our and many other great research groups. #fire #LA washingtonpost.com/weather/2…

Here are the toxic threats that emerge after an urban wildfire

The toxic residues of burned houses, electronics and cars combine with carcinogenic fire retardants create a formidable hazard for fire survivors.

Excellent paper by @amelia_rnelson and @mj_wilkins looking at microbiological changes along an 11 year burn scar chronosequence. Thanks for a great collaboration!

My 3rd PhD chapter with @wilkinslab is now out in @ISMEComms! We use an 11 year wildfire burn scar chronosequence in CO/WY to discern whether different microbial life history strategies help taxa thrive/survive in burned soils 🦠🔥 academic.oup.com/ismecommun/…
