Hi Rachael,<br>
<br>
No need to feel badly at all. Apparently I met this guy some time
ago (see email trail below). Anyway, looks like he's eager to do a
grant of his own. My local guy says he can do this. Not a big fan of
the trash talk. Odd situation, but it's not an LTER issue anymore if
he wants to do a stand alone proposal. The only issue comes if he
wants some of my archived sample, which he can get through NSF. He's
he's going to go that route, I'd be better off collaborating. So
would he, because samples without context are no good to him. Don't
know what I will do because I want to support the assistant prof in
my department who's interested in doing this, but his lab's not
ready yet<br>

Dear Peter:<br>
<br>
Thanks. I know Guangsheng - he applied for a postdoc fellowship to
work with me but did not get it. He is not an organic geochemist by
training - he has used some organic geochemical methods in Yale, but
I do not think he has the organic chemistry background to work on
biomarkers in Antarctic lakes. These involve major methodology (in
terms of developing new analtycial methods, changing reactions and
derivatization reagents etc.), which is my specialty. <br>
<br>
To be honest, the work done Jaraula is very poor. The chromatograms
are so ugly (I would never allow such chromatograms to publish from
my group) and major compounds in the sediments are not identified.
If you look at my publication record, you can see how well we are
doing in understanding alkenones including chemistry and
biochemistry, and biosynthesis. Nora has done some preliminary
analysis on a couple of surface samples from Rachel Morgan Kis. We
are finding exciting new things. We performed live cultures from an
isolated Lake Bonney haptophyte that is making alkenones. <br>
<br>
Given my record on lake alkenones from the past 10 years, I really
think if we can write a joint proposal to the Antarctic program to
obtain new sediment cores and to do exciting new science. I have
sufficient preliminary data now, and can really justify the
important science questions to be answered. <br>
<br>
I have been longing to work with you for a long time, if you still
remember my email to you 10 - 12 years ago. <br>
<br>
Is there a good time I can give you a call to discuss? I will really
appreciate it. <br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Yongsong<br>

Hi Yongsong,<br>
<br>
Sorry for the delay in replying. It's been a very very busy
period and your email got buried deep. I had intended to reply. I
also had to do a search for Nora's email. I missed that one all
together I'm afraid.<br>
<br>
We collected sediment cores over 10 years ago which have been
heavily used for analysis in published papers. What's left of the
cores have been in a freezer with a questionable history for a very
long time. The Jaraula work you are probably familiar with was done
under the supervision of her adviser at UIC, Fabien Kenig. They
worked from box cores of the surface mats and I think he still has
some of that, but not sure.<br>
<br>
We have a new young faculty here who discussed with me doing
alkenone and paleothermometry work well over a year ago when first
interviewing. He is still building his lab which apparently he is
almost finished (if you are ever finished building a lab). We have
not yet gotten to the point of assessing what the quality of my
samples are after so long. I'm obviously interested in supporting a
young faculty in my own department as a priority. I'm also open to
other collaborations if they are complimentary to our efforts. The
new faculty is Guangsheng Zhuang, and I'm sure he would be too. I
will talk to him about this. I hope this helps.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

for the message. I feel pretty badly about it, given there
is this odd guy harassing Peter. I sent samples to Linda
Amaral-Zettler who both John and I have published with – I
wouldn’t have sent the samples to some random person who I
don’t know. However, the samples were for her student, Nora,
who is obviously co-supervised by Huang. Also, in his email
to Peter, he mentions that he has multiple water column and
sediment samples from Lake Bonney and Lake Fryxell – I sent
Linda a single sample from Fryxell (and a live algal
sample). So either he has other sources for MCM samples or
he wasn’t being accurate with Peter about what he has. </span></p>

one several of us received this past winter from the
group that wants to do metagenomics work from all of
our landscape units. We need to discuss how we handle
these along with what it means to be a collaborator of
our group. We do not want to be in the position of
facilitating a bunch of unfunded science, which could
be viewed as circumventing the NSF proposal process.
You can do a LOT of science with just samples these
days… Our activities (for us and on behalf of others)
have to be related to our science and our hypotheses –
i.e., what we are funded to do. </span></p>

opinion, to write that proposal with no

this will be a significant stumbling

Rachael points out, without a letter of

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:
10.5pt; font-family:
"Calibri",sans-serif; color:

an ancillary project that is pretty
significant. All of our students have
dual roles down here – they have to do a
set of things to keep the monitoring
programs going and then they work in
their science. If she came down, she
would have to be on the limno team and
provide that support. But, this seems
like a lot of additional work to try to
add in if she’s also on the limno team…
I think it’s a reasonable response that
you sent to her, John. I don’t know how
this will shake out in our discussions
in March, but if she doesn’t get her
GRFP funded and we don’t give her a
slot, April will be the deadline for her
and her advisor to submit their own full
blown proposal. I think we need to make
a judgement about whether this is
mission creep or not. If it can be
linked to our MCM4 hypotheses, then it’s
justifiable to bring her down and do
this work. If not, then we’re taking
the place of NSF by facilitating her
research and that’s not a position we
want to be in, particularly with the
level of scrutiny that’s likely to be
associated with the proposed work.</span><span

folks really want to get to the
field. Her proposal says that they
will collaborate with me and other
colleagues to collect samples from
Fryxell. I never said that I would
do this and anyone I take has to be
involved with all limno runs and
sample analysis in McMurdo. Note
that their proposed work will
require a transect of sediment cores
and water samples through Fryxell.
This will require environmental
paperwork showing that the cores
will be collected cleanly, request
for a corer, and meter resolution
collection of water samples at each
site (note that we only get a
freshwater lens below the ice when
there is streamflow—most of the time
the ionic strength is greater just
below the ice due to freeze
segregation.</span><span

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="color: black;">My name is
Nora Richter, I am a first year
graduate student in the
Brown-MBL program and I am being
co-advised by Yongsong Huang and
Linda Amaral-Zettler for my
thesis. Yongsong mentioned that
he contacted you this past month
about possible fieldwork options
in Antarctica, and potentially
collaborating with you and your
team during the 2016-2017 field
season.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="color: black;">This year
I intend to apply for travel
funds to support my research at
McMurdo, and I would also be
willing to assist your research
group in the 2016-2017 field
season if I am able to go. James
W. Head is also part of my
advising committee and has done
work at McMurdo in the past; he
has agreed to assist me with any
additional planning. I have also
conducted field work in the past
in Svalbard, Greenland, and the
Swiss Alps (I attached a copy of
my CV). </span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="color: black;">I recently
applied for the NSF graduate
student fellowship with my
proposed project in Antarctica
(see attached). Briefly, I
intend to analyze haptophytes
and alkenones from Lake Fryxell
to assess species assemblages,
alkenone production under
extreme conditions, and use
hydrogen and carbon isotopes to
more accurately track changes in
glacial melt. I am currently
working on analyzing samples I
received from Rachael
Morgan-Kiss and Sarah Spaulding
to better inform my project and
hypotheses.</span></p>

me on this project and I look
