What an opportinity to work with two awesome labs in gorgeous Bodega Bay!!! 🎉

The Equilibrium Conundrum Although an assumption of equilibrium dynamics underlies most ecological theory, the evidence for this dynamic in nature and in empirical studies is scarce. This creates an unfortunate disconnect bet...

Most major theories in ecology assume some sort of equilibrium, but only ~half of empirical tests acknowledge it & even fewer observed it in their system. Does this matter? How did the idea become so pervasive in ecology anyway? Find out in our new paper! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Anyone have a good method (clearing, etc) to get rid of autofluorescence across all channels in a squishy, mucus-y sample like an oyster, in order to do FISH/HCR on the bacteria that live in the mucus of the oyster?
