After interviewing with a few incredible people doing exciting work with soil microbes in grasslands, I'm proud to share that I'll be starting my PhD at the University of Kansas this fall working with Dr. Jim Bever as a Self Graduate Fellow!!

Looking for a “thing” to do? Order your free Covid tests! Have them on hand for yourself, and for your neighbors and friends/family. Have a friend with a sniffle? Make it as easy as possible to test with a side dish of social support 😅 It’s free & easy! special.usps.com/testkits

This is what Land Back actually looks like. With everything going on in the world right now it's amazing to see a victory like this!!!

Hundreds of salmon are now spawning in Klamath River tributaries above the 4 recently dismantled dams for the first time 60 & 112 years. It is exciting and bodes well for the future. Still, it will take several years for fish runs to recover & there is still much more work to do.

So excited to see this in @ESAApplications! This paper cowritten closely with Craig See and @ShanKothari along with our stellar coauthors on work at @CedarCreekESR reveals interesting tree diversity effects on carbon pools after just 6 y of afforestation doi.org/10.1002/eap.3042

This paper, which started as an intern project in 2019, has truly been a work of collaboration and heart! I've learned so much from this, and I'm eternally grateful to all the fantastic folks involved who kept this going through a pandemic and several life changes for us all 🌲✨

Unbelievably excited to share my first first-authored paper with Dr. James Bever! This was also my first greenhouse experiment, and I’m so proud of the work we accomplished to further explain the role AM fungi play in a changing world 🌍🌾

What determines transfer of carbon from plants to mycorrhizal fungi? For the past 2 years, we debated this question. And I mean debated. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/… #TansleyReview @NewPhyt 1/n

What determines transfer of carbon from plants to mycorrhizal fungi?

Biological Market Models are common evolutionary frameworks to understand the maintenance of mutualism in mycorrhizas. ‘Surplus C’ hypotheses provide an alternative framework where stoichiometry and...
