Let's talk about why these bacteria-like organisms are so fascinating, why they're named for Norse mythology, and why looking at them is unlocking a better understanding of our own genomes.

I'm looking to switch out the Winogradsky column lab I've been doing in my Wetlands course for something new (I never get visible diffs among treatments and I don't think students are getting much from it).
What are your favorite labs for an upper level Wetlands course? Bonus if biogeochemistryish!

This should be in the 'must read list' for 1st year grad students. Loved the quotes, spirit, and important message. I do worry that science is necessary but not sufficient against the current challenges though.
In our latest paper in PNAS, we ask: How can scientific progress be accelerated to meet the urgent challenges of the Anthropocene? We point to significant barriers in forecasting & prediction efforts for the biosphere 🧵👇 🧪🌎🦋 1/n www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
