Thanh Nguyen, a student from Onondaga Community College, presented her work comparing mycorrhizal effects on skypilot resource dynamics at the SOURCE Undergraduate Research Symposium. Thank you to Thanh for a wonderful summer internship in the Becklin Lab!
Members of the Becklin Lab presented their summer research at the SOURCE symposium. What an amazing event showcasing SU student work. Great job, Alex, Elena, Laurel, William, and Skye!
Congratulations to Dakota who graduated with her Master’s degree in Biotechnology! We are so excited for you and good luck in Boston!
Sarah presented work from her dissertation as a contributed talk at the Ecological Society of America’s annual meeting. Her talk entitled, “Water availability impacts intraspecific plant-soil feedbacks in an alpine system” was part of the COS 13: Species Interactions 1 section of the international conference. Congratulations Sarah!
Alex completed her first field season in the Rocky Mountains! Her project, which was funded by a Women in Science and Engineering Fellowship, explored the impacts of increasing ant abundance on soil characteristics and microbial communities.
Beki graduated with her Bachelors in Earth and Environmental Science! Congratulations Beki! We will miss you in lab!
Sarah was awarded a seed grant through the EMPOWER program to attend BOTANY and ESA’s virtual meetings. Congratulations Sarah!
Congratulations to Annie, Hanna, and Brianna on their graduation with degrees in Biology! We are so proud of you and are excited to see where you go next!
Every lab needs an assistant to help collect samples, analyze data, and make sure everyone is having fun. Garp, the original Becklin Lab assistant, was pretty good at one of those tasks. Sadly, we had to say goodbye to Garp this winter after 14 years of companionship in the field.
Congratulations to Brianna, Sarah, and Katie on a successful field season! Despite a snowy start, the crew made a lot of progress studying spatial patterns in plant-microbe interactions on Pennsylvania Mountain.
