New Position and New Publication

Well, it has been a while since I updated my blog. My apologies, but the last few months have been quite hectic. I have taken a new position in the Oceanography Department of Florida State University (Tallahassee, FL). I am working for Dr. Joel Kostka on a Department of Energy project exploring bioremediation (or bioimobilization) and natural attenuation of Uranium-contaminated sites.

A paper from the project I was working on at NASA has just been published online at Environmental Microbiology. If you are interested, see: Smith et al. 2008. Shifts in methanogen community structure and function associated with long-term manipulation of sulfate and salinity in a hypersaline microbial mat. Environmental Microbiology 10(2):386–394.
Hope you had a great new year.

Cheers,
Stefan
