🌿 Big news! Our first mangrove paper just dropped in PeerJ!
We looked at how water flow shapes microbial life in Gulf of Mexico sediments.
It’s been a journey — and there's more coming soon!

To all my American friends, how do you feel lately with things happening there? I feel pretty anxious.

One of my favorite parts of Ministry for the Future was the abolition of the billionaires. Just to be that rich makes you an enemy of democracy. Wrote early this year:

Challenges of female microbial ecologists at different stages of their academic life: a Mexican perspective Latin American women scientists face a double glass ceiling because of cultural, institutional, and geographic biases, including those from international journal editors. Despite under-representation, they advance in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), particularly microbiology. In Mexico, more efforts are needed to create an inclusive community, driving progress enriched by women’s perspectives in science.

Valeria Souza and other leading women microbial ecologists examine gender inequities from a Mexican perspective, highlighting the continued double glass ceiling that these researchers face (being from Latin America and a woman)🧵(2/3)

My writing process is usually:

a) I got this
b) well, fuck
c) wait that part was real good
d) wait no that part sucks
e) I am a god of this place

g) oh man I just figured it all out
h) mistakes were made
I) existential dread

Magic moments :p

Yesterday at UNAM we had a symposium on different ways of studying bacteria :)

Send good vibes, I am trying to submit a book chapter today 🧬🦠📝📚🤓

Hi, for you a beutiful sky! Sampling in Cozumel #nature #marinebiology

Hi there! Sharing with you folks the lab team :) We went sampling mangroves in the Gulf of Mexico. #nature #microbes #mangroves #science @academic-chatter.bsky.social
