July is publication month in the Field lab. Congrats to Cody Garrison on his new article in Applied and Environmental Microbiology on stainless steel microbes (and cover art image!) and Madison Lamb on her publication in PloS One on microcystin toxicity. Check them out here.

Spring is here in NC (so are the crabs, crobes, and river herring) so field work has begun!! Special thanks to the Edenton Fish Hatchery for allowing us to conduct our eDNA shedding and decay rate experiments there.
