Expeditions can be hard to maneuver as a mother & scientist. Intense & exciting to have my essay published in @nytimes exploring how Expeditions can be an Academic Act of Defiance Mapping fungi w/family @spununderground @nytopinion: tinyurl.com/5adc5cwf (photo 2011, Kenya)

For women in academia, barriers to having children aren't just finding partners or preserving fertility. It's systemic barriers—relentless relocations, temporary contracts, focus on individual achievement—planning for a family is like an impossible luxury.science.org/content/articl…

Rob Ramos and @CamilleDelavaux visited us to sequence some of the collection. INVAM curators Jim Bever, Terra Lubin, Peggy Schultz and @lizkoziol spent hundreds of hours isolating #AMF spores, and Rob & Camille worked really hard to make sure this project was a success!

'The whole project is very anti-colonial...it's like a revolution because we, as scientists in the Global South, didn't have a lot of participation & still don't...I thought “Why? Let’s change that.”' @adri_corrales33 on the Underground Explorers Program bit.ly/3Nr1wtk

Fungi could save one of the rarest plants in the world. Na’u is a flowering tree on the brink of extinction in Hawaii. 🌸 Nicole Hynson, @uhmanoa & SPUN Underground Explorer, thinks fungi may hold the key to na'u's revival. @goes_by_kim, @SmithsonianMag bit.ly/3AAX1JC

Our partners at @fungifoundation have been working tirelessly to protect fungi both above and belowground. This is a massive moment for fungi. We urge all parties to sign this pledge to prioritize fungal conservation now. #COP16 theguardian.com/environment/20…

We need the best researchers from across the world to map underground #fungi before they're gone. But there’s a gap in the research coming out of the Global South. SPUN's Underground Explorers Program tackles this issue. @adri_corrales33 explains how: 👉 bit.ly/3Nr1wtk

Fantastic & very efficient sampling (40 samples) on Saturday with @spununderground #RewildingChile, Rocío Urrutia-Jalabert & #MateoBarrenengoa on Alerce Andino National Park. We’ll uncover relationships between AMF diversity & tree aboveground biomass. Beautiful experience!

Massive congrats @adri_corrales33 for winning the Maxwell Hanrahan Foundation award. I had the honor joining Adriana on an expedition two weeks ago to the Amazon basin. She is an inspiration to field biologists everywhere bit.ly/3zDwxa4 @spununderground
