I need people to understand how difficult it is to get an NIH grant. You spend months writing a proposal, following strict guidelines that include a detailed multiyear budget, bios of everyone on your team, plans for participant safety & ethical conduct. Then you send it off -1/n

Never a dull moment working with @EA_French & @Kaplan_Lab!!! Our new study in @FrontSustain shows aphid feeding only temporarily reshapes the root #microbiome, while initial soil community seems to matter most for herbivore performance doi.org/10.3389/fsufs.2021.6…
