Second, I am honored to have received a Mid-Career Advancement award from @NSF! I'm spending this semester @UNH with @seritafrey's group, learning more about soil carbon dynamics and carbon use efficiency.

I've been a bad PI and not kept up with our lab announcements feed. First, @smith_chr1stian defended his M.S. research "Urban biotic homogenization of airborne microbial communities on a continental scale". Congrats! wmich.mediasite.com/Mediasit…

Great job to my collaborators @EcoAdkins and @JessicaRMiesel getting this paper out! doi.org/10.3389/ffgc.2022.87… In a nutshell: forest soil bacterial life history strategies and soil C pool kinetics are affected by wildfire and fire severity.

Happy #EarthDay2022 ! The Docherty lab did a fund activity this week and made native seed bombs @BeeJoyfulShop Kalamazoo. Watch out for native plants coming up in places you might least expect them. 🌻🌻🌻🌻

One of my favorite quotes: "We must walk on in the days ahead with an audacious faith in the future" - MLK Jr. There is always hope if you have the courage to look for it and the perseverance to create it. #MLKDay2022 #MLKDay
