We're searching for a Lab Director to run the new #Kansas Water Institute water quality lab. Lots of momentum here at Kansas State University for #water research and we're putting together a pretty awesome lab. Details here - careers.k-state.edu/jobs/water-q...

Interested in aligning your long sequences or small genomes against huge reference databases containing millions of prokaryotic genomes ? A new tool has been released that can do this efficiently - LexicMap - www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Congratulations to our federal, state and local partners on the official delisting of the Muskegon Lake #GreatLakes Area of Concern! The GLC is proud to have led 12 habitat restoration projects at 9 sites in the Muskegon AOC.

Sustainability leadership training in higher education often focuses too much on content/knowledge building and not enough on the "soft skills" like collaboration and communication that sustainability professionals tell us are critical to success. sustainabilityskillset.com/episode-18/?...

Come join us at @ilinseagrant.bsky.social! We're hiring a Research & Reporting Administrator to manage the program's ~$400,000 per year competitive research portfolio of #GreatLakes science; the position will be based at Purdue University careers.purdue.edu/job/Research...

The story of the controversy over Enbridge Energy's Line 5 and the implications of its resolution is undertold. That's why I accepted an invitation from The Conversation to write a brief update, focused on how the Trump Administration has altered the trajectory of this complex, critical issue.

New manuscript from the lab! Interesting story developing, we didn’t find any Aphanizomenon nitrogenase genes despite being the primary bloom former! Instead, Dolichospermum takes charge of fixing nitrogen during the bloom. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New paper alert! We suggest caution in the analyses of viral auxiliary metabolic genes and propose a new overarching term - 'auxiliary viral genes' (AVGs) to describe different types of such genes. @simrouxvirus.bsky.social #phagesky #Microsky www.nature.com/articles/s41...

📢 New paper in @nature.com Microbes rock 🎸🤘 with sulfide and iron minerals I am very excited to share our recent study, which describes a previously unknown microbial energy metabolism ⚡⚡⚡🦠🧫⚡⚡⚡ 🆕 Microbial iron oxide respiration coupled to sulfide oxidation - MISO www.nature.com/articles/s41...

H2O2 may affect the toxicity of cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms, but little is known about the sources or sinks of H2O2 in cHABs. We find it's largely produced and consumed by microbes, but not Microcystis or its attached bacteria. #GreatLakes authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

Out today in @commsearth.nature.com from some of my newest colleagues at UMMP: evidence that the extinction of dinosaurs led to fundamental shifts in terrestrial environments, and that this signal is recorded in facies shifts tied to the K-Pg boundary: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Scientists at the University of Toledo are investigating whether aerosolized toxins from harmful algal blooms contribute to negative health effects. They are focused on air quality and long-term health as Toledo is within a region that is considered an asthma belt. Read more here:

Hi BluSky! I want to brag about a paper we published in August (I didn't post then b/c I was having knee surgery). We investigated the competing influences of the Maumee River and algal blooms on the carbon budget of Lake Erie's Western Basin. (1/6) agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

nice article in the Ohio Sea Grant eNewsletter about measurements of microplastics in the #GreatLakes by teachers et al.... they were 10X higher in 2024 than 2014 👀 ohioseagrant.osu.edu/news/2025/qn...

new commentary from me and @realshri.bsky.social: Protect Great Lakes science. The health of the Great Lakes is not guaranteed. It depends on long-term investment, scientific expertise and public understanding. research.umich.edu/research-sto...

A new IAGLR survey shows how federal actions are disrupting Great Lakes science—lost data, careers, & collaboration. On #WorldLakeDay, we’re reminded that protecting freshwater means supporting both the science & the people behind it. 📖 https://bit.ly/ll26 #GreatLakes #FreshwaterScience

new study: "climate change is already altering the community and phenology of fishes in Great Lakes wetlands" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

new work from CIGLR finds that "the Great Lakes have entered a new era of temperature extremes". www.nature.com/articles/s43...

I joined together with @CIGLR scientists from across the Great Lakes basin to explain the critical value of Great Lakes research and how investing in it directly impacts our health, wealth, and well-being. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
