@geollygist Thanks Olly! It was so great working with you on this.

New paper alert just out! This paper, led by @ElliottMueller8, investigates the rate of low temperature biogeochemical cycling of carbon species in the deep crust. See below for more details:

🚨Paper alert🚨Finally published my paper titled,”Long-term interaction of metals and phosphate with ferrihydrite in artificial seawater and implications for past and present environments.” Link here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…. (1/3)

Me and 13 great collaborators! Including a fantastic summer student who helped to solve perhaps the most challenging part of the project: How to isolate acetate (to measure its D/H composition) from a brine 5x saltier than seawater??

Thanks to all my collaborators who entertained some crazy ideas and whose creativity and insights were essential for making them reality.

Very proud of this work and the wonderful people involved! We introduce the idea of an isotope-exchange 'clock' that estimates the in situ residence time of acetate via Orbitrap MS and identify an active carbon cycle in the continental subsurface. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Super excited to share our new review article on the diversity and ecology of microbial sulfur metabolism. Please RT and share. @ZhichaoZhou_CHN @patriciatran_ nature.com/articles/s4157…

Very proud of this study. @cait_welsh, @Forster_Lab, @Pr_Cabotaje, @Berggrenlab, @LyrasLab, @hologenomics, and @14Kountz.

Please share! Our lab is recruiting PhD students and/or postdocs for Fall 2025. Projects may include a combination of fieldwork, isotope geochemistry, and modeling. Reach out to discuss if interested!

Organic P recycling without biology? Is this missing piece in #phosphorus #geochemistry? Just published @NatureComms, @AristildeLab reveals #iron oxide minerals as #catalysts cleaving phosphate from biomolecules in #soil and #sediment. @doescience Link: nature.com/articles/s4146…

Thrilled to share that I will be joining Boz Wing's group and the rest of the geobiology folks at @CUBoulder as a NASA Postdoctoral Program fellow! We will start a project near and dear to my heart, unraveling how microbial fermentation influences global biogeochemistry.

@NagissaM woohoo! congrats!!

@KKantnerova @VSCHT Congrats Kristyna and good luck!! You’ll be amazing 😊💛

Today I am starting a new work adventure at @VSCHT as an assistant professor at the Department of Analytical Chemistry 🥳 Wish me luck! 🍀

Dr. Mueller! Thanks to everyone who came - from near and far - to watch me defend my PhD. Grateful for my years at Caltech and excited for what’s ahead.
