If you're at #ASMicrobe, come see us today! I'm up at 8:15 in 403B, and our grad students: @oceancait.bsky.social at 9:15 in 403B and @astrobio-agb.bsky.social also at 9:15 in 402AB. I'll be scrambling between the two rooms to see them!

Some great news bookends to our week: On Monday @astrobio-agb.bsky.social advanced to doctoral candidacy and today it was @oceancait.bsky.social's turn. They did really well during their comprehensive exams and I'm proud to be their dissertation advisor!

A small cohort of our Lab folks will be here this week! If you're attending, be sure to check Vivianna's work on culturing soil microbes, Jorge's work on vernal pools, and Caitlin's work on sediment archaea! @oceancait.bsky.social @mandussi.bsky.social
