Hi! My name is Josh
I study microbes, mainly fungi, and how they interact with plants, mainly in the soil.
Trees For Bioenergy
I am interested in how we can increase plant yield through microbial interactions in the soil.
Organismal Diversity
There's an amazing diversity of life on this planet. I sometimes talk about this on my blog.

I enjoy teaching.
Teaching helps me to see science through the eyes of others and allows me to spread knowledge to the masses.
Degredation of plant material for bioenergy
I'm working on a few projects to isolate organisms from the environment and understand how they break down organic matter.
Understanding Functional Diversity
I'm interested in the functional diversity that exist in an array of organisms in many environments

Understanding the diversity of mycorrhizal fungi
Mycorrhizae are beneficial fungi which grow on plant roots. I am studying their diversity at many levels of inquiry.
Comparative Metagenomics
I'm interested in new ways of observing species relationships from environmental samples.
