Tuesday Simmons

Tuesday is thrilled to bring her knowledge of agricultural microbial ecology to Root Applied Sciences. She is passionate about translating research into sustainable agricultural methods and products. She is eager to chat with customers and provide them with actionable information.

Tuesday recently completed her PhD in microbiology at UC Berkeley, using metagenomics and microbiological lab techniques to study how drought impacts the root microbiome of cereal crops. Prior to working at Root, Tuesday worked for microbiome start-up GALT as an Applications Scientist, cultivating bacteria from a wide array of environments. She is excited to continue working with engineers to convert laboratory processes into automated magic.
