Very honored and humbled! Thanks to MSU and KBS for creating the space for me to conduct meaningful research! A special thanks to PRI for submitting the nomination! Most importantly - thanks to my lab- as they are so often the ones on the ground executing our research in meaningful ways.

Participants making art on small canvasses by painting with soil.
One of the presenters at the "Soil: A Medium for Life and Art" help participants make art by painting with soil.
A block "S" and "GO GREEN" painted with soil on paper.
Soil is a medium for both life AND art! 👩🎨 Participants at @msuscifest.bsky.social got their hands dirty today with different Michigan soil types. The @sprunger.bsky.social and Hayden labs will be at the STEAM Expo Days again tomorrow from 11am-4pm. Don't miss the final day of "The World of Plants!"

The Democrats on the House Science Committee have set up a website to collect stories from fired federal employees, anonymously if desired. Please amplify. (This helps the lawyers establish standing for bringing legal cases against the administration!)

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated.
Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!
