Getting the word out about Microbes

Curious Nature

I  made a brief video with the folks over at Zoochosis describing the work I've been doing using additions of specific soil microbes to enhance ecosystem restoration. Check it out!

Conservation Biology in the Dirt With Crockett High School Students

I organized a retreat with 40 AP Environmental Biology students from Crockett High School in Austin,TX. Together with the other Smith Fellows, we had a day focused on Conservation Biology including large lectures, small groups, problem solving and field work (in the dirt of course!). Overall the students learned that conservation biology is a real career and there are lots of cool things we can study in nature (ants, microbes and earthworms). The Smith Fellows also used this as an opportunity to quantitatively test the best methods to reach new conservation biologists.
