Microbiologist in Civil & Environmental Engineering at UD. My lab studies bacteria that use light, live in concrete, or survive starvation, and how they do it.

I’m dithering about where to send a methods manuscript describing basic genetic tools (knockouts, selectable markers, counterselection) in freshwater actinobacteria. Any suggestions?
Excited to announce that I’ll be moving to the chemistry department at @sunyesf in December. Recruiting 2 PhD students for work in freshwater biochemistry and built environment microbiology to start in summer/fall ‘24. Please pass it on!
Congratulations @subsurface_life ! @MicrobioUD @UDResearch
Congrats to #UDel's Jennifer Biddle, who has been named a Fellow of @ASMicrobiology's American Academy of Microbiology, recognizing excellence, originality, service and leadership in microbial science! udel.edu/udaily/2023/march/j…

Have you seen dung beetles do this, @MostlyMicrobes ???
Thinking about dung beetles stopping for a moment on top of their little balls of poop, looking at the night sky to navigate, just like I stop on the sidewalk to look at my phone while navigating home. We're all just trying to figure out what's next, standing on a bunch of poop.

Cool paper @vkclab !
Deep photoautotrophic prokaryotes contribute substantially to carbon dynamics in oxygen‐deficient waters in a permanently redox‐stratified freshwater lake aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley…
Do you know what this is, @Nangreg ?
Yesterday was cataloging and clean out day in the lab, which led to the discover of this glorious little contamination number. What do we think @ContamClub, a Penicillium maybe? Grown on LB agar in fridge
