I think people imagine expedition science is quite glamorous, and not the early days, late nights, and equipment piled up on spare surfaces that it actually is…

Take a walking tour through the spectacular @CavernsNPS in a video from travel vlogger Joey Evans. Carlsbad Cavern is celebrating 100 years with the National Park Service this coming October, so it is a great time to visit. ow.ly/a1Zo50LVpgo #caves #newmexico

Sampling has been going really well - we think ammonia from the bird poop might be the key to the aggressive dissolution - microbes!! @uakronbcas @ZipsBiology #caves

Just out from a 3 day science camp. We thought the bird guano might be involved in making the caves - it has a pH of 1.7! We might be right!! @uakronbcas @ZipsBiology #caves

Iron cave paper that was rejected by the editors from two micro journals for being too geo, then from geo journals for being too micro. Finally in Scientific Reports... and I thought we were in a post-silo world. rdcu.be/cXoaE

I was sitting in my office when a guy I didn't recognize walked in and burst into tears! Turns out he was in my first micro class at UA in 2011. After taking my class he decided to become a microbiologist. He said I changed his life... then I burst into tears!! 😍😊
