Congratulations to (nearly Dr.!) Sabrina Geraci-Yee @sabrinargy and the whole team – what an accomplishment!
Mariana did a terrific job defending her dissertation
Evolutionary origins, regulation, and function of carotenoid biosynthesis in the marine heterotrophic eukaryote, Aurantiochytrium limacinum
this January*, and has cool papers coming out soon.
I’m happy to have her staying as a postdoc in the lab for a few months, and then am eager to see where she lands next. Way to go, Mariana!
*I’m much less late with this one than with Kylie’s. But still some catching up to do!
Who did an amazing job defending her dissertation,
Ecology of nitrogen-removing microbial communities and applications to wastewater treatment
this past fall*, and will have lots of great papers coming out soon.
I’m eager to see what nifty postdoc opportunity she lines up, and where she goes from here.
*Yes, I am late with this (I’m sorry Kylie! better late than never, right?), and with other announcements I’ll try to catch up on, but let’s start with this one.
We’re all sorely missing the annual big-giant-super-crowded URECA poster session in the SAC ballroom, but that doesn’t lessen the accomplishments of these fabulous young people. Check their posters out and leave comments/questions for them!

Special recognition to graduate students Mariana Rius, Sabrina Geraci-Yee, and @KylieLanglois for mentoring these young scientists. Thank you!
The first publication from her dissertation work – part of a collaborative manuscript involving the whole Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation Experimental Model Systems crew – is now out!

Looking for thoughtful insights about science, life, and everything? Yes, I thought so. Who isn’t?

Since this is too late to be advertising, it’ll have to just go into the bragging-on-my-students category.
Congratulations to @KylieLanglois on presenting her beautiful and fascinating poster at #asmmicrobe2018 https://twitter.com/KylieLanglois/status/1005134046832230400 http://www.stonybrook.edu/cleanwater/ #NYSCCWT #BetterLateThanNeverNOT
