The Wrighton Lab

Come work at UMass! The Stockbridge School of Agriculture is hiring a full time TT Assistant Professor level position in Agroecology. Please RT careers.umass.edu/amherst/en-us/…

Mikayla Borton of @ColoradoStateU will explore microbial & geochemical dynamics in the soils of temperate wetlands, coastal marshes and peatlands—to advance understanding of carbon decomposition and greenhouse gas emissions. @TheWrightonLab @jmikayla7 jgi.doe.gov/announcement-f…

(5/n) and thanks to Chris Outcalt @CSUAgSci for this write-up agsci.source.colostate.edu/csu-research-s…

@ASMicrobiology – Not in the mood to read all 300 pages of the @theNASciences report out yesterday linking soil health to human health. @kaliknei and I will break it down, focusing on all things microbe. Come join us #ASMicrobe ! MTE 515 pm tonight, B304. nap.edu/catalog/27459

Had a lot of fun writing this Nat Microbio News & Views piece w/ @MaggieSogin! Check out our thoughts regarding the work by the @TheWrightonLab about the talented microbiome & rethinking the enzyme latch theory. nature.com/articles/s4156… #microbiology #carbonstorage

(4/n) For more-- see this great summary from @MaggieSogin and @GinaMChaput! nature.com/articles/s4156…

Out now in @NatureMicrobiol, from @bmcgivern13 and the @EMERGE_BII team. We investigated a long held view in peatland systems- the enzyme latch theory- from a microbial perspective. @doescience @NSF @CSUAgSci (1/n) nature.com/articles/s4156…

Great work team! Jared Ellenbogen, @jmikayla7, @bmcgivern13, Dylan Cronin, David Hoyt, Viviana Freire-Zapata, Carmody McCalley, @RuthVarner1, Patrick Crill, Richard Wehr, @wwood, Malak Tfaily, Gene Tyson, @virginia_rich, and @kcwrighton

Our MUCC team is well represented at #AGU23 - talk to us about mud, wetlands, and fluxes!

Are you at #AGU23 and interested in #wetlands GHG fluxes and microbes? I'd love to talk to you! @CSUmicrobiome @CSUAgSci

You are what you eat. Learn how your gut microbiome can predict cardiovascular disease @jmikayla7 @CSUmicrobiome @mbiojournal journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

After a long and successful field season we are excited to be done #MUCCingAbout

We love the sled our @wetlandlab colleagues use when #wetlands have standing water - we are #MUCCingAbout in Dwarf Cypress Swamp studying #methane cycling #microbes @doescience @CSUAgSci

Yes we are still #MUCCingAbout , this time in Florida! Our star student DJ is #BornToCore

#ESA2023 folks!!! In Portland and SO excited to give a talk in an organized oral session (OOS 41-4, Wed @ 10 am) all about the post-fire soil microbiome. Sneak peak to my talk - soil microbes are resilient over multidecadal timescales 🔥
