Expeditions can be hard to maneuver as a mother & scientist.

Intense & exciting to have my essay published in The New York Times exploring how Expeditions can be an Academic Act of Defiance

70% of the earth’s surface is water, so for Earth Day we are getting submerged!! Today’s find is an underwater mushroom, discovered by Jonathan Frank. Psathyrella aquatica has a strong stipe, anchored to a depth of 1.6 feet, and it uses air bubbles to disperse spores! #EarthDay

📢'The World Is Your Oyster' is for those who are born in global north countries--don't experience visa bureaucracy & emotional burden that non-white global south scholars do. Citizenship is a privilege that we need to recognize in the academe. 1/n

It was great working with Elsa Abs on this article - it presents a clear roadmap for updating Earth system models to account for evolution, a fundamental tenet of biology.

Do you love fungi? Or at least like them enough to spend few years studying their traits in more detail? I am offering a 2-year post-doc position in my group working on my Vidi project on fungal traits and soil functions. Apply before April 28th! universiteitleiden.nl/vacatures/2024…

‘Loneliness is preventing women from moving into positions of great influence and power’. Interesting - but incredibly concerning - article that suggests 80% of women have experienced loneliness at work. And it also points out that loneliness can exacerbate inequities for women…

New paper out! We ask the question: Given the consensus among ecologists about the urgency of the climate crisis, why is our field not promoting more solutions-oriented research in training and practice? 1/9
