Last July, I sampled soils and leaves from the subarctic, searching for microbes that could break down isoprene. After months of work, they’re finally growing in their little vials, happily shaking away. A long road, but seeing this progress makes it all worth it #uArctic_project

Yesterday, we dove into a collective creative writing experience led by Paul Acker—scientist, performer, and writer. We crafted and performed incredible texts, exploring the inner world of scientists, the duality of being both human and researcher.The energy was electric,the words alive.What a ride!

The first version of my isoprene-degrader culture collection is here! A major milestone for my #uArctic_project. 🤔Though some microbes seem to have their own personalities (growing at 4°C and invading their neighbors). They are Arctic bacteria after all! 💁🏽‍♀️ #classdismissed

Wow, they found fungal hyphae inside the sheaths of nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria! Usually with these types of symbiosis it's the other way around, with bacteria growing inside their host. This is supercool!🧪 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

At 7, I had no idea I’d become a scientist. TBH, I didn’t have the best grades. But science gave me a voice, a passion, and a purpose. If you’re a woman in STEM, share a childhood pic and show girls what’s possible! #WomenInScience #IDGWS #ThenAndNowSTEM
