Doctoral student Kelsey Coates presents poster Wetland plant and soil bacterial life history strategies interact to influence successional patterns in a changing world! It was an action packed poster session on day 1 of the conference!
Dejay Smith presented and successfully defended her MS thesis "Examining microbial transfer between human and non-human primates using a OneHealth approach"! Congrats, Dejah! Dejah's committee brought together a motley crew: Fidy Rasambainarivo (ECU; middle photo), James Loudon (ECU), and Katie Amato (Northwestern Univ).
We are so excited that Dejah is just 'down the road' working as the lab manager for Dr. Jean-Philippe Gibert's Microbial Food Web Ecology and Evolution Lab at Duke University. It was a hot summer for humans and Spartina transplants in fringing marshes around the Atlantic Beach, NC area. Looking forward to learn whether our marsh microbe + salinity pre-treatment influences success in the field! Stay tuned! |
