Alan Peper (co-advised by Dr. Timothy Brenneman) has won the award for graduate student publication of the year (PHD level)!
His paper, published in Frontiers in Microbiomes (https://doi.org/10.3389/frmbi.2022.1019134), sheds light on the functions of calcite dissolving bacteria in regulating soil calcium levels. This research has the potential to address soil calcium deficiency issues in peanut farmland.
