Excited to announce that I’m recruiting graduate students to study whether, and how, the gut microbiota of caterpillars detoxify plant defenses for their hosts. Interested? More info here: wfscjobs.tamu.edu/jobs/phd-p… and here! ravenscraftlab.com

Ever wondered if you could read 100s of metabolites and drugs in parallel using a @illumina or a @10X platform? But metabolites aren’t nucleic acids — how can that work? Check out our new preprint and read on for a thread: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/….

Question for the AMF folks! @claire_willing, @mykophile & I have been staining redwoods. It looks like the cortical cell walls are staining; unclear if there are really robust AMF hyphae there or if somehow our Trypan blue is staining the cell wall. Has this ever happened to you?

How popular claims about common mycorrhizal networks in forests are disconnected from evidence. Thx to M. Jones & J. Hoeksema @jhooooks for their friendship, brilliance, and integrity. I would not have had the courage to tackle this issue without them. nature.com/articles/s41559-0…
