Dr Megan Rúa

Lovely time visiting @WesternMichU for my seminar in Biological Sciences! Thanks for hosting my visit @DrDocherty and great to hear about all of the wonderful science being done in the department.

Excited to see this article from #RuaLab and @WSU_Honors alum Maureen Roddy and @OhioLSAMP alum Will Viney out in press! “The use of dredged sediments as a soil amendment for improving plant responses in prairie restorations” doi.org/10.3368/et.41.…

Let's stop writing 'microbial' when you mean bacteria only. 🙂

New traditions that involve making noise, you know @wsubio will be there! Great time at this mornings @wrightstate New Student clap in and BBQ.

Starting off the new semester at the @wrightstate Teaching for Student Success Symposium. Excited to hear from our plenary speaker Dr Tia Brown McNair from the American Association Colleges and Universities on becoming a student led university

First #PSL of the year brought to you by the storm that woke us at 430 this morning when a large branch hit the roof above our bed (roof is fine).

I’m on sabbatical for the 2023-24 academic year. Lots of adventures to come but for now I get to work from home. Such a nice change from being in my office! First up, working my way through the backlog of manuscripts that piled up during the pandemic & the birth of my kiddo

We are hiring a new postdoc to study pollinators, honey, and silflowers! Pls let me know if you are interested in the position!! centralstate.edu/news/central-s…

Joined the new network!

Doing some yard work and found a honeysuckle that germinated in this polypore. Le sigh, could we not honeysuckle? #invasivespecies

Nothing like a fire alarm to start the semester! #RuaLab reunion with @MariahSlaughte1, @madegreene and Anthony no social media while we wait for the all clear

Dear co-authors: when you’re providing input, instead of writing a comment saying “you should add a sentence/info about XYZ” you can just ADD THE SENTENCE and track the changes! Thank you in advance. #AcademicChatter

#Fungi exhibit intragenomic variation in the form of nucleotide substitutions, deletions/insertions, and likely ‘‘pseudogenes’’ which can be impacting taxonomic, eDNA, and diversity estimate studies. cell.com/iscience/fullt… @CellPressNews @RokasLab

Funding is available for a 2-year postdoc to work on @boreal forest ecology of soil and plant communities and global change; specifically fire and climate change.

Sob, yes 👇

@PalyJen @moreheadstate Congratulations!

Two decades of working with amazing young people both at @moreheadstate and elsewhere bore unexpected fruit this year. I dedicate this to all of you!

Proud to see one of my postdoc mentors honored for all of his wonderful work!

In our new study we estimate that soils harbour 59% of the global biodiversity and are the most species rich habitat on Earth. Over 500 million species/ taxa are associated to soil. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… @MAnthony02; @SFranzBender1; @uzh_en; @Agroscope; @WSL_research
