Come hear about shipwreck microbes, and if you haven’t already, check out the special exhibit at @naturalsciences
What happens after a ship sinks? 🤔 Join Dr. @ErinKField from @EastCarolina to find out on Thursday, Feb. 16, 7:00pm at our downtown Raleigh location. More details: bit.ly/SciCafeShipwreck

Last chapter of my PhD out today in @FrontMicrobiol Coastal microbial communities disrupted during the 2018 hurricane season in Outer Banks, North Carolina. @ErinKField #microbes #globalchange #hurricanes frontiersin.org/articles/10.…
Congrats @codes_n_keys on your new position as an @NSF postdoctoral research fellow #prfb at @SoMAS. Can't wait to hear all about your work on microbes and microplastics!
Beyond excited to start a new project as a postdoctoral fellow @SoMAS with @gttaylor428 and @microbiaki !! Stay tuned for updates on microbes, microplastics, and microbial adaptations during the Anthropocene
Check out our on demand #WorldMicrobeForum session 'And the Winners Are...Metals and Undergraduate Students' tomorrow morning Tuesday June 22 with @BirtheKjellerup, Dr. Huaqing Liu, and myself. And our live 'Lounge and Learn' follow up on Wednesday at 8am EDT.

Spring in NC can only mean one thing, water collection time! Undergraduate researcher Sam Gallien stops for a quick photo op.

Have you ever seen a bunch of orange stuff in a creek or stream and wondered, "What is going on here?" They're iron mats! If you're wondering about the bacteria that make them and their neighbors, check out this review by @ErinKField and I!
