- NSF needs to hear from you. Among other points, I suggested: keep politics out of science; stop using the threat of cancelling scientific grants to try to control universities; increase NSF funding for fundamental research. Pls send around. Deadline is January 27. Thanks www.nsf.gov/od/updates/n...
- The use of synthetic communities to enhance plant health remains challenging due, in part, to a shortage of long-term studies demonstrating effectiveness of translational microbiome efforts in agricultural systems. However, costs of this research is dropping and advancements are promising.

- Happy New year! May 2026 bring joy and hope to you and yours.
- Nice review! Mutants with altered root development produce distinct exudate profiles, ultimately reshaping their microbial communities. These observations collectively indicate that genetic variation or the genotype of the plant ultimately constrains the metabolic capacity.
- What a smart and happy little creature
- Reposted by Pam RonaldIn the span of four days, we’ve built a coalition of over 80 lawmakers — including several Republicans — to stop the dismantling of NCAR. I’m grateful to them for their efforts as we work to secure language protecting NCAR in the upcoming CJS appropriations bill. We will not back down! 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
- This rant is worth a read! (Trigger warning: contains descriptions of sexual acts and a bit of profanity) Jen, thanks for fighting for women’s health and rights.
- Stat is the best publication for following this administration’s effect on US science. Check out "American Science, Shattered,'' a comprehensive look at how the administration has disrupted labs, upended lives, and delayed discoveries.
- I had lots of fun talking with the women in genomics team. Thank you Kelly and colleagues!

- NCAR is one of the nation’s jewels- in terms of research and the setting of the NCAR building. Let’s try to stop this senseless shutdown. Everyone: write more letters to your congress people, please
- I miss him already. He was always willing to share his ideas and his tremendous energy. I am grateful to have been his friend and colleague. We won’t forget Bob.
