Sydney Salley, our ever valiant and constant source of bright cheerfulness, will be leaving the Soils lab in order to pursue her PhD UC Davis (Geology) in Dawn Sumner’s lab. During her time in the lab, Sydney was the master of optimizing new-to-us DNA extraction protocols, including for both root and bark samples. She also was the picogreen master! We thank you for all your hard work and will miss you terribly. Best wishes for moving forward in academia. Enjoy some time in the Cali sun!
