Last week we received heartbreaking news.
Adriana was a leader in mycology, with a PhD focusing on fungi, ecology and climate change. We met when she was an assistant professor at and we became friends quickly by nerding out in contaminants and the biology of fungi.
She was an advocate for equality, hardworking mom of two, loving wife and terrific friend. She genuinely cared for the success of her students.
She advanced the field of mycology in the desert and had so many other plans.

Please consider supporting Adriana's family through this season. I will link a GoFundMe page in our Bio.
Adriana, I wish you were still here, I miss you already.
