I’d love some input!!! One of our -80 degree C freezers is not reliable anymore and we almost lost samples last night. What brands do you like and why?

What's up with ectomycorrhizal fungi? Join us as a postdoc to help us find out! (Apply at recruit.ap.ucsb.edu/JPF02772 by 24 June for full consideration.)
We're hiring a postdoc to work on tree-ectomycorrhizal mutualisms! We are looking for someone interested in working empirically (experimentally or w/ field observations). While some project ideas are listed, we welcome all other ideas in this system, too! recruit.ap.ucsb.edu/JPF02772

Fantastic colleagues, I need some help over here! For growth curves of bacteria, do you pre-incubate in liquid culture? If so, which growth phase is best before inoculating cultures for the growth curve analysis - logarithmic or stationary? Why? Please include helpful references

Professor Craig Cary tragically passed away yesterday. A brilliant scientist who wrote many influential papers in both Antarctic and hydrothermal microbiology. An even greater mentor, who uplifted so many with his relentless enthusiasm, creativity, and encouragement. 1/2

You are looking at the oldest plant ever to be regenerated, grown from 32,000-year-old seeds! A Russian team discovered a seed cache of Silene stenophylla, native to Siberia buried by an Ice Age squirrel, successfully germinated it

What happens when you change the temperature in plant-based soil microcosms? The plants recruit different #soil #microbial communities! Super excited that this is out!

Excited to share our recent paper investigating the rhizosphere microbiome under simulated snowpack conditions across three subarctic plant species. Check it out!
