Fotis and Molly process Mahoney Lake cores at LaCore.
I’m proud of our MURI team. They did an excellent job of measuring the spectral characteristics of phototrophic bacteria. Their posters at IUPUI Research Day were awesome.
Getting some good sandwiches with James at Giordano Bros (Pittsburgh-style eats). James had a great poster presentation about microbial sulfur cycling in his Pacific Northwest lakes.
Another great Midwest Geobiology Symposium, this time in Chicago. The after party was awesome.
Greg Druschel and I convened the Second Annual Midwest Geobiology Symposium at IUPUI. The meeting was a big success. We drew 90 participants from 20 schools in the Midwest. We thank the Agouron Institute, IUPUI and OVCR for their support, and all who attended. We’re looking forward to seeing everyone again next year in Chicago!
