Updates!

I'll be at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting in Washington, D.C. in December! 
I'm always interested in meeting new faces and chatting science. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you'll be there too. 

In December, I began our department's two-part qualifying exam journey with my research proposal department seminar and subsequent closed-door oral defense. Following a successful research proposal defense, I recently took my prelim exam, which is a closed-door oral exam in all areas of Soil Science. I'm very happy to announce that I passed and am officially a Ph.D. candidate! 

Attended my first AGU in San Francisco, CA where I presented some preliminary findings from the first chapter of my dissertation. I had a great time hearing about and chatting science and I'm looking forward to doing it again next year!

Another field season is officially in the books! In slight disbelief that this summer marked my 7th consecutive summer conducting fieldwork in and around the University of Michigan Biological Station (yet, my first where seemingly everything that could have possibly gone wrong, did in fact go wrong). Despite the unprecedented field stress, it's always a joy introducing undergraduates to the place I first discovered I could be a scientist as an undergraduate myself. Next up: RNA extractions.
