Journal Club: Earthquakes alter microbiomes in Yellowstone aquifers with Dr. Eric Boyd

Описание: Welcome to STEMdentity Journal Club! Every month, I find an amazing peer-reviewed journal article and interview one of its lead authors. We talk about their paper, their work, and their STEM identities.

My guest today is Dr. Eric Boyd, a Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Cell Biology at Montana State University. We talk about his group’s paper "Seismic shifts in the geochemical and microbial composition of a Yellowstone aquifer" (2025, PNAS Nexus). We also talk about how he landed the dream job of having a research group that regularly works in Yellowstone, writing awesome methods sections, and the importance of science communication.
