Check out live interview @WGNNews #Chicago on the 5'Oclock news today. We discussed the plastic problem and @Aristildelab research on figuring out how microbes in #nature can feed on #plastics...a slow process that could be engineered to benefit #society.

Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.

Northwestern News covers new @AristildeLab research published in @EnvSciTech on mechanisms and enzymes used by a #wastewater #bacterium to break down #plastics and use it as a food source.

Official announcement of @AristildeLab publication on #soil #microbes and #CO2 production from #organic matter in Environmental Science and Technology @EnvSciTech.
In this ES&T article, a team led by @AristildeLab of @CornellCALS @NorthwesternEng sought to probe how #Pseudomonasputida would process the metabolism of a mixture of representative lignocellulose-related compounds toward CO2 vs biomass.

@gcarbonproject has just published the most comprehensive Global Nitrous Oxide Budget to date.
Global N2O emissions continue to grow largely driven by the increase in the use of chemical nitrogen fertilizers and the production of animal manure.

Researchers @ColoradoStateU and @Stanford found that better techniques needed to monitor soil chemistry after a wildfire. Soil Chemist, Professor, Research Lead @CSUAgSci @WarnerCollege Thomas Borch joined @MartyLenz_KOA and @KOAJeana on CMN.

Wildfires can cause changes in soil chemistry that affect water contamination, air quality, and plant growth. But these changes are poorly monitored and rarely factor into post-fire recovery efforts, according to a new Stanford study. stanford.io/3UF05KV

The first paper of our new lab at @ColoradoStateU is out. Big thanks to @ChanYulYooLab for collaborating with us on this review. If you are interested in the function of biomolecular condensates that are regulated by environmental cues, please take a look:

In the leadup to #Thanksgiving, we wanted to look at the tasty world of kitchen #chemistry. Join us as we share some of our favorite food-related stories. If you're worried about hosting Thanksgiving dinner, fear not, these cool chemistry hacks are for you cen.acs.org/food/food-scienc…
ALT Infographic detailing the chemistry behind four kitchen chemistry hacks. The first is slowing fruit browning. Fruits brown due to the oxidation and polymerization of phenols. Adding acids, such as lemon juice, wrapping the fruit in cling film or otherwise blocking oxygen slows browning by reducing the activity of the polyphenol oxidase enzyme.

Ahead of the big debate, I'm going to say it - carbon saturation and the fixation on mineral-associated organic carbon are overrated and overblown concepts in soil science that have little applicability to the applied science of climate smart agriculture.
