"UBC Forestry has an incredible research community representing a broad diversity of approaches and perspectives."🍄🔥
Meet @MonikaSFischer, the newest #UBCForestry and @UBCBotany Assistant Professor👋
💡 Get to know her in our latest In The Spotlight: bit.ly/3WruK0k

Super stoked to share this paper, now in its final form @Environmicrobi !! Thanks to the reviewers who helped us improve our story that began with a totally epic time-series of post-fire soil samples and ends with a dynamic and pyrophilous subcommunity!

Not ideal that I'm losing my voice the day I needed to give my talk at #MSAfungi23! But the Fungi and Fire session this morning was awesome! 🍄🍄🔥🔥@sydneyglassman @MonikaSFischer

Getting ready for the GRC to kick off ! 🥳🥳.
So great to spend time with current and former labmates !

Massive CONGRATS to newly minted Dr. @NeemJPatel !!! 🎉🎉🎉 Absolutely phenomenal Phinishing Talk. My heart is bursting 🥹. It’s been such and honor and a privilege to be her postdoc mentor and partner in science! Watch out, cause she’s on fire!!🔥 @TraxLab @PMB_Berkeley – at Berkeley, CA

Having a data/file organizing day and realized I never finished my annual tradition of updating this plot of CA wildfires (total acres burned +highlighting specific named fires that burned >100,000acres). 2022 was a phenomenally moist year, with nary a fire >100K!🔥

Student-focused one-day microbiology conference at UC Berkeley next month!!! Open to all! Registration is FREE! ....as a former chair of this event, I'm totally biased in saying this is one of the most awesome micro events ever. Come hang, share your work, met new micro-pals!
We're now about two months(!) out from @UCBerkeley Micro Student Symposium 🥳 Registration closes on March 15th, so make sure to sign up soon (free registration) at docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

Diversity of genomic adaptations to the post-fire environment in Pezizales fungi points to crosstalk between charcoal tolerance and sexual development @MycoCosm; @MonikaSFischer; @TraxLab; @BHenrissat

ALT Early and late pyrophilous colonizers. The brown–green bar shows the underlying lifestyle of these species in a mix of saprotrophic and ectomycorrhizal fungi. Similarly, the black–grey bar shows a gradient of pyrophily (i.e. fungi that are present in the early stages of post-fire soil colonization), and pyrotolerance (i.e. fungi that colonize the soil months after fire events).

So many rad female fire scientists at #ISME18 !! Fantastic 🔥 pitch from @NeemJPatel, who burned a couple forests using prescribed fire and then followed the soil microbial communities for 18months afterward. Go visit her at poster # 536 to learn how the microbes responded! 🍄🦠

🔥 pitch by @MonikaSFischer at #ISME18 on her work examining soil microbial community recovery following prescribed burns in a Northern California mixed conifer forest. Check out her rad poster #056 at this evenings poster session to learn about her findings!

Fire ants evade pathogenic fungi by nesting in actinobacteria-rich soils, using geosmin as a cue.
The insect-Streptomyces alliances never cease to amaze.
Odors produced by soil microbes attract red fire ants to safer nest sites

In a new study recently featured in @nytimes, researchers @MonikaSFischer @TraxLab @Grace_Stark_ @TheaWhitman and colleagues uncover a food source that allows some fungi to flourish after a fire. Read more about the study and coverage in the NY Times: nature.berkeley.edu/news/202…
