At some point I saw a google sheet type list of funded grad-school opportunities (funded projects, not fellowships). Can anyone help me find this type of resource?

Tremendous visit to National University of Singapore to discuss all things marine mycology. So excited to see the groundbreaking work coming out of this part of the world. Thanks to Ying Chang and lab for being such great hosts, hope to repay the favor soon!

Proud of our new paper in which we force-feed plastic to marine fungi, and watch them evolve to eat it more efficiently. Plastic is the fastest growing new habitat on our planet, fungi can help recycle it.

RP PLS! Iʻm hiring 3 postdocs at U Hawaiʻi to study yeast diversity and evolution, marine fungi, and the genomics of microbiomes in experimental foodwebs. All of these projects have existing datasets and LATITUDE to pursue individual interests and "blue sky" ideas

🌱🔬The most time-intensive and difficult paper of my PhD is now published in
#mSystemsJ
! I'm proud of this work and also how much I've grown since I first started this experiment. Read on to learn more about how the functions of bacterial communities impact plant growth and health. 👇

And that's a wrap on the Second Occasional Meeting of Marine Mycology at lovely Asilomar. Can't wait to answer the burning question of how many fungi there are in the ocean. Think you know? Take our 30 second poll here:

Please spread the word about 3 tenure track, hard-money microbiome faculty positions. These are well-resourced, come with their own grants, few teaching requirements (but lots of opportunities), potential footprint in our marine lab.
