About Dr. Fierer:
I am a microbial ecologist, and my research group focuses on microbes living in a range of environments, including those bacteria and fungi living inside our homes, in soil, on plants, and in the atmosphere. We use various approaches, including DNA sequencing and high-throughput cultivation, to explore the diversity and structure of microbial communities, build a trait-based understanding of microbial life, and examine how microorganisms influence the health of ecosystems, plants, and animals (including humans).
WNR Spring Semester Book Club - First Meeting
Student Activities
The Wildflowers in Natural Resources Club (WNR) is hosting a book club during Spring 2026!

Moving forward, we will meet once every other week to discuss readings. Open to all undergraduate and graduate students. See you there!

EcoArt Words in the Wild: (Part1) Workshop Crafting Found Poetry from Research, Field Notes, & Collaboration with Nature
Workshop/Training
EcoArt is a low-pressure, drop-in space to explore the intersection of ecology, art, and creativity through workshops and open studio time. For this workshop, join two USU poets (basil payne and sarah ann woodbury) for a two-part, hands-on workshop series exploring how your research or time in nature can become poetry made in collaboration with the more-than-human world. For the first workshop bring any field notes, journals, nature-related research or chapters, sketches, or informal writings from time spent outdoors (it can be yours or someone else's). In this session, you'll be guided to find poetic threads and images in these works and to create a found poem from these threads. Between workshops, participants will submit one poem to be printed as a large broadside.

LAEP Speaker Series with Carlos Licon: Lost in Translation
Lecture/Readings
LAEP's Speaker Series is a fantastic opportunity to learn about the design of places and systems that shape our world. Anyone interested in how his or her life and career might be enhanced through learning about planning and design will enjoy attending. Students from Art, Graphic Design, Performance Art, Engineering, Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning, and Outdoor Product Development and Design are likely to be enlightened by this series.
Carlos Licon is an Associate Professor and Graduate Program Director for Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning.
About the Lecture:
How do landscape architects find their place among architects, planners, engineers, and other allied professions? This talk traces a journey of learning across disciplines—from architecture to environmental planning—and reflects on how these experiences have shaped the way I think about design, responsibility, and collaboration. By looking into the different worldviews and priorities that guide each profession, the talk invites to imagine new ways of working together. Ultimately, it asks how greater cross-disciplinary understanding can help future designers create more responsive, equitable, and resilient communities.
