What happens when nitrogen deposition enters the phyllosphere? As with everything, microbes are the answer. We just finished a field experiment using isotope tracing to test whether phyllosphere microbes on urban oak seedlings are involved in the uptake of deposited nitrogen

Biological invasions are among the most pressing ecological concerns of the Anthropocene. We're pleased to present our latest Virtual Issue: Linked plant–fungal invasions: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/… Edited by Ian A. Dickie, Marc-André Selosse and Maarja Öpik. #PlantScience

Excited to share a newly published Current Biology primer on fungal endophytes that I was fortunate enough to get to work on with collaborators. We review the ecology, evolution, and plant interactions of above- and below-ground fungal endophytes sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

I am excited to share a new paper that I have the honour and pleasure of working on with Carlos Pardo de la Hoz. We found changes in the metabolism and development of lichenized 𝘕𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘤 when compared to free-living 𝘕𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘤 lineages: academic.oup.com/ismej/advan…

Excited to share a new paper in New Phytologist that I got to work on as part of a field course in pine-fungal co-invasions in Australia led by Jason Hoeksema with a dream team of collaborators. Vietorisz, Nash, Siggers, et al 2025: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/…

Pine invasion into a native eucalypt forest resulted in distinct changes to soil properties and microbial communities. Surprisingly, the pine-specific suilloid fungi were prevalent even in the roots of eucalypts, demonstrating the possibility for novel fungal symbioses

New paper: poplar species vary in their dual-mycorrhizal associations and it changes through plant development. And some surprises from the elusive dark septate endophytes as well 🫥 link.springer.com/article/10…

Today, Stanford graduate workers have announced our intent to unionize! Follow along and join us in solidarity as we fight to make Stanford a fair and safe workplace by giving graduate workers a real voice in our wellbeing. Stanford works because WE do! #StanfordGWU #SGWU

Tomorrow, our hearing with the National Labor Relations Board starts. We know Duke is just delaying us from having an election, but we're going to show out anyway to let them know we're more united and committed to winning a union than ever. Want a ride? DM us!

After the Duke Graduate Students Union filed for an election, the university announced it would challenge the NLRB decision from 2016 that granted the right to organize to graduate workers across the country. bit.ly/3Jq8Q60
