Growth rate reflects an organism's fitness and resource use, offering a link between the ecology and evolution of microorganisms and their roles in ecosystem services, such as carbon and nutrient cycling. Link: nature.com/articles/s41559-0… (2/6)

Soil microorganisms exist in a range of physiological states, from dormancy to exponential growth, with profoundly different consequences for soil carbon and nutrient cycling. Join me next week to explore how microbial growth rates affect soil ecology. #PhDDefense #Soils #Ecology

Our manuscript is out: 'The path from root input to mineral-associated soil carbon is dictated by habitat-specific microbial traits and soil moisture.' We show that the microbial traits associated with soil C are not universal, but vary with soil habitat.

when it comes to MAOM formation, there's no one-ring-to-rule-them-all..💍
@NoahSokol @AGreenlon and @MegMFoley did a massive 13C/18O/drought/soil habitat study to figure out what microbial ecophysiological traits control formation of persistent SOC.

my additional advice: find an advisor who is above all else, kind.
26 Jan 2022
some unsolicited advice to throw into the grad school interview szn void:
✨go where you'll be HAPPY✨
PhD programs are long & hard. where will you, as a human, thrive? build community? explore yourself? grad school steals your young adulthood, MAKE IT COUNT.
