Take a look at our paper on the soil microbiomes associated with the eastern Joshua tree after the 2020 dome fire! @arikchou.bsky.social @pulidofabs.bsky.social Lynn Sweet melanie davis link.springer.com/article/10.1...

My work characterizing the traits of pyrophilous fungi via genomics, transcriptomics, and bioassays! @dylan-j-enright.bsky.social @petehomyak.bsky.social @mjwilkins.bsky.social funded by @departmentofenergy.bsky.social @usdagov.bsky.social #fire #fungi #science @pnas.org
Morels were among the species analyzed. This delicious group is well known for thriving in burnt areas. Stock photo.
Pyrophilous fungi are fungal species that thrive after wildfire. A genetic analysis of this group uncovered an ecologically important tradeoff between fast growth and the ability to break down post-fire aromatic carbon compounds. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/1A2P50XVxZc
First publication from my PhD with @sydneyglassman.bsky.social out now at Env. Microbiology! Lots of AMF diversity around Eastern Joshua trees throughout the seasons, while remaining mostly distinct from Western Joshua tree AMF
Come say hi to the Glassman lab at #ASMmicrobe #ASMmicrobe2025. Ehsan sari and Fabi Pulido presenting posters Friday, me and @dylan-j-enright.bsky.social presenting on Saturday and Basubi Zhilik presenting Sunday!
Major, major congratulations to my colleague Joanne Emerson for receiving the PECASE! This prestigious award is recognition of amazing early career faculty who developed the most compelling and innovative NSF CAREER grants!
Joanne's lab pioneers the field of soil viral community ecology 🤩 🧪🧫
New Glassman lab paper led by my former PhD student Fabi! Some of you may remember the Stirling Ultracold freezer saga of 2020. Well, we made lemonade out of lemons! If this happens to you don’t rush to throw everything away. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Feels like a good time to re-share my paper comparing teaching #rstats formula and #tidyverse syntaxes. (Not quite a base/tidyverse comparison, I couldn't bring myself to do that. But if YOU feel passionately about it, why don't you run that experiment?) Again, PDF format is the one to look at.
Same here I’m like oh I guess I’m not new PI anymore
With more #MycoSky arriving here by the day, lets gather everyone and rebuild.

How do we interpret longitudinal variation in human stool metagenomes?
Joe Lim tackles this tricky question in our latest pub, out today in Nature Communications.
Basically, stool sequencing measures of the endpoint of more rapid internal dynamics.
