Very honored and humbled! Thanks to MSU and KBS for creating the space for me to conduct meaningful research! A special thanks to PRI for submitting the nomination! Most importantly - thanks to my lab- as they are so often the ones on the ground executing our research in meaningful ways.

Soil is a medium for both life AND art! 👩‍🎨 Participants at @msuscifest.bsky.social got their hands dirty today with different Michigan soil types. The @sprunger.bsky.social and Hayden labs will be at the STEAM Expo Days again tomorrow from 11am-4pm. Don't miss the final day of "The World of Plants!"

The Democrats on the House Science Committee have set up a website to collect stories from fired federal employees, anonymously if desired. Please amplify. (This helps the lawyers establish standing for bringing legal cases against the administration!)

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated.

Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!

Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭

It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health. I’ve never experienced a more positive culture where *everyone* cared about their job and serving others.
