Our paper exploring AMF carbon transfer to the hyphosphere microbial food web and mineral-assossiated organic matter is out today in a special issue of @NewPhyt! 🌿 Read it here: doi.org/10.1111/nph.19… 🍄@Jeffinerca @ecologicaljack @Firestone_Lab @erinnuccio

Arbuscular mycorrhiza convey significant plant carbon to a diverse hyphosphere microbial food web and mineral-associated organic matter Kakouridis et al. @AKakouridis @erinnuccio @ecologicaljack @Jeffinerca @Firestone_Lab 📖 ow.ly/irCV50QBX1y

@mwallenstein @phylogenomics Thank you!

@ecologicaljack @phylogenomics You should be proud! That’s an impressive debut. You’ve uncovered yet another reason why AMF are important for plant and ecosystem health.

My first paper ever is out! And I’m so proud of it 🥹

@SeanMichaletz Thank you! 🪴🍄

@ecologicaljack Congrats! What a cool first paper!

One of my hottest traits has got to be my lack of allergic reaction to poison oak

And of course a big congrats to @AKakouridis (primary author of the paper and also happens to be my mentor, neighbor, good friend, etc. etc.). Thanks for letting join in all the fun 💚

5:30pm in lab today, Kyra: angrily doing gDNA preps Me: come look at my flower arrangements 💖💐✨

Drinking tap water feels the same as buying local honey

same energy

Came across this book today, amazing

So what I love rolling down my windows in the Berkeley/Oakland Hills to smell the eucalyptus trees. Arrest me!!!

As a society we need to move past calling (non-invasive) plants “weeds”

just sitting here eating late night cereal and thinking about how smart @LinaMLion is and how she teaches me literally soo many useful things about cloning that nobody else has ever mentioned to me

Somehow didn’t have the foresight today that saying out loud that, “I’m an insecure plate pourer” while pouring plates in the hood would lead to a crowd of 3 people that wanted to stay and watch until I was done jsphflsnslanal

Who hasn’t had issues cloning 😅 This project is based on a comic a friend shared with me. Unfortunately, the original comic appeared to be anonymous, but I’ll share it in an effort to attribute proper credit.

Our lab held an internal competition for the best scientific picture this week...The winner is this picture by @JanMartinek4, featuring an Arabidopsis flower with pollen tubes growing through the pistil, stained with aniline blue. Congratulations!
