Unfortunately and regrettably we will not be filling this position and have released the post doc that we had hired. The EPA rescinded our award this week.

Sectioning sediment cores on board the R/V Pelican QUALIFIED cruise in the Gulf of Mexico! These cores will be extracted for DNA and RNA to analyze how microbial community and activity changes with depth. #nsffunded

Greetings from the #kilomoana we have been busy on our cruise to the Mariana Forearc. We had our first dive with JASON, and recovered many samples yesterday. Here I am helping to set up the HOG sampler! #science #geomicrobiology #microbiology #NSFfunded

Hello! I am Lydia Hayes, a PhD student in the Kiel Reese Geomicrobiology Lab. I'm headed on a 27 day research cruise to the Mariana forearc to explore microbial communities in the serpentine mud volcanoes. Keep an eye out for updates on my journey aboard the #kilomoana

Phenol shortage?! For the molecular micro types, where are you sourcing phenol (RNA; 4.3 pH)? VWR just informed me that it will take 800 DAYS before shipping. Fisher says it’s discontinued.

This loss is senseless and had shaken the entire geoscience community, with me as no exception. He was a generous and kind man, incredibly intelligent and giving.
In loving memory of Dr. Thomas Meixner Tom was a wonderful and kind person, whose larger-than-life approach to being and doing inspired those around him and elevated the community. The world is different without him. He will be missed and loved by all. @uarizona
