By developing a semi-automated pipeline to apply robotics to the process, researchers found HT-SIP reduced labor to one-sixth that of the manual process while processing dozens of samples simultaneously. @Jeffinerca @erinnuccio jgi.doe.gov/supercharging-si…

Another paper finally out. I almost gave up on this one, but I'm glad I didn't. It's almost my last with the @Firestone_Lab , but hopefully not even close to that with @Jeffinerca and @erinnuccio . journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…

Am thrilled to be leading "Terraforming Soil", a @Livermore_Lab Energy Earthshot Research Center focused on biological and geological solutions to accelerate scalable, affordable #carbondrawdown in the United States’ agricultural soils.
DOE Office of Science@doescience29 Sep 2023
To reach our clean energy future, we need abundant, affordable, and reliable solutions. Those solutions will rely on fundamental science and innovative technology. We're providing $264 million for 29 projects that will support our Energy Earthshot goals: energy.gov/articles/doe-anno…

On Dec. 5, 2022, a team at LLNL's @lasers_llnl conducted the first controlled fusion experiment in history to achieve fusion ignition. Also known as scientific energy breakeven, the experiment produced more energy from fusion than the laser energy used to drive it.

In our new 'high-throughput' SIP-metaG paper, @nuccio, @AKakouridis @rachelhestrin et al. targeted the tiny habitat surrounding AM hyphae. They IDed 13C fixed by the host plant, moved by hyphae and taken up by a complex micro food web of bacteria and AOA. rdcu.be/c0sK3

A distinct group of Myxococcota (Fen-1088) were super 13C enriched, suggesting AMF is their primary source of C—are they predators of the AMF or another hyphosphere organism?✨ And surprisingly, an ammonia oxidizing archaea was one of the most enriched MAGs!✨

Creating the HT-SIP pipeline was an awesome collaboration between the SIP team at LLNL (@Jeffinerca, Steve Blazewicz, @acampbellina, Marissa Lafler, and myself) and @jgi HT-SIP has enabled “SIPtacular” science at LLNL and @jgi through the CSP. Excited to see what we learn next!
