Beautiful #permafrost! Coring with @mildlybasic @Thomas_Douglas Brad Baxter and Torre and Janet Jorgenson in Kangerlussuaq Greenland!

Thinking about how I will introduce my incoming #Micronauts to #OMG and #WTM in a couple of weeks #Bio350 @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology Next, ice nucleating bacteria. #IceIceMicrobes

I’d love some input!!! One of our -80 degree C freezers is not reliable anymore and we almost lost samples last night. What brands do you like and why?

What's up with ectomycorrhizal fungi? Join us as a postdoc to help us find out! (Apply at recruit.ap.ucsb.edu/JPF02772 by 24 June for full consideration.)

We're hiring a postdoc to work on tree-ectomycorrhizal mutualisms! We are looking for someone interested in working empirically (experimentally or w/ field observations). While some project ideas are listed, we welcome all other ideas in this system, too! recruit.ap.ucsb.edu/JPF02772

@RobynBarbato I normally grow the culture to stationary phase (O/N for E. coli) then dilute 1:1,000 fold into fresh media to get very low OD culture. That way, you get the full growth phases of lag, log, and stationary.
English
Fantastic colleagues, I need some help over here! For growth curves of bacteria, do you pre-incubate in liquid culture? If so, which growth phase is best before inoculating cultures for the growth curve analysis - logarithmic or stationary? Why? Please include helpful references
English
@RobynBarbato Anecdotal, but from my PhD work (which involved many many growth curves with hot spring bacteria to test for Hg resistance), the growth curves were only reproducible when started from a log phase culture.

@mildlybasic convening a wonderful #permafrost #biogeochemistry session featuring exciting new research by @Thomas_Douglas @EuroGeosciences

@greeninglab I am so saddened by this news. Craig was so enthusiastic about polar regions microbiology and facilitated collaboration and discussion on the topic. My thoughts go out to his family.

Professor Craig Cary tragically passed away yesterday. A brilliant scientist who wrote many influential papers in both Antarctic and hydrothermal microbiology. An even greater mentor, who uplifted so many with his relentless enthusiasm, creativity, and encouragement. 1/2

Fantastic reminder from my buds @ZoeCourville @deeb_eli and couldn’t have come at a better time! You guys are the best!

Intriguing happenings @ the #permafrostunnel Recent extreme cold in Fairbanks got Ts down to -35C inside the Tunnel and check out this ice cracking! Had never seen this before. Likely contraction cracking due to extreme cold. Great example of ice wedge formation! R. Hessner pics

ERDC's Cold Regions Engineering and Research Laboratory recently hosted a defense resiliency program meeting in Hanover, New Hampshire, as part of a project designed to help the Army operate in the complex terrain often found in cold regions.
