Last week I was in the tundra doing field work, now I’m heading to Baltimore for ESA2025. I kinda miss the tundra and our awesome field crew.
Enjoying the tundra in Atqasuk, AK Quick visit to Utqiagvik, AK Large trough in high center polygonal tundra Flux team!

On my way to ESA2025, but still thinking about these cool zoops we found in permafrost troughs this field season. This was from just 100 ml!!!

"A report by economists at American University in Washington DC estimates that a 50% reduction in federal science funding would reduce the US gross domestic product by approximately 7.6%."

Science is an amazing engine of economic activity and progress for the US ... or at least it was.

Staff members at the US National Science Foundation (NSF) were told on 30 April to “stop awarding all funding actions until further notice,” according to an email seen by Nature.

Come and work with me!

The Nature Micro team is expanding and we're looking for someone to champion microbial ecology, plant micro & related areas for the journal

Knowledge of microbial ecology/plant micro is desirable but we're open to applications from all microbiologists

Figure 1. Map of study sites in the Caribou-Poker Creeks Research Watershed (CPCRW). Darker shading denotes estimated permafrost extent (<4 to 54%). Sampling locations for sites C1-C4 are at the outlet of each catchment. Inset shows the location of the CPCRW in Alaska. Figure 4. Metabolism and stream chemistry vary with permafrost extent. Center lines, boxes, whiskers, and points indicate the median, interquartile range (IQR), 1.5 × IQR, and outliers (n = 57–119 per site per year). ER = Ecosystem Respiration, GPP = Gross Primary Production, SUVA254 = specific ultraviolet absorbance at 254nm scaled by DOC, DOC = dissolved organic carbon. Figure 5. Carbon (C) and phosphorus (P) co-limit respiration in laboratory incubations. Center lines, boxes, whiskers, and points indicate the median, interquartile range (IQR), 1.5 × IQR, and outliers of O2 demand (μmol O2 L−1 h−1) across all sites.
