Lear Lab

Come and do a PhD at @AUTuni @AutScience in soil microbial diversity of New Zealand forestry ecosystems!

Join us in Auckland for NZMS2023 in November! Check out the website to learn more: microbiologyconference.org.nz

Our latest Lear publication and @ZLouisson's first paper from her PhD - exploring the taxonomic and functional response of soil microbial communities to land use change …ronmentalmicrobiome.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Nau mai, haere mai to another academic year, microbe lovers!! Meet Sophie, who is joining Lear Lab this semester as she begins her MSc journey 😃 #MeetTheLab #TeamPlastics

Check out @FAudrezet latest paper exploring if plastic type matters for marine colonisers peerj.com/articles/14549/ via @PeerJLife

@ss_thomo presenting the findings from his recently completed masters at #NZMS2022 on the biogeography of nitrogen fixing microbes

Jess & Ziva representing Lear Lab in the #NZMS2022 student oral competition finals 👏🏽 Jess talked about her research on microbial community formation on plastics in wastewater treatment plants 💩and Ziva discussed her research on microbial communities in kiwi fruit orchards 🥝

Big congratulations to our very own @indigothaplanet for winning the @Biology_UoA pūtaiao award and @gavin_lear for the research award!

Farming & Nature Conservation spin-offs, AUT Living Laboratories Programme and the Farming with Native Biodiversity pilot, are set for success having attracted over $2.7 million in funds. Read about the groundbreaking programmes here: bioheritage.nz/farming-nature…

#MVIF 12 program is out! 🤩 Looking forward to hearing all these talks! ⭐️Key note: @MicrobiomDigest ⭐️Selected talks: @CornetLuc3 @agustinmolinna & Tayla Conradie ⭐️Highlights: @anniegwest & Hirotsugu Shiroma Register to the event here: hopin.com/events/microbi… #microbiome

Congratulations to @anju66272663 on your graduation! Anju's doctorate was focused on the response of stream bacterial communities to environmental change under the supervision of Gillian Lewis and @gavin_lear

Some fab Friday news - our latest paper on the developing gut #microbiota in #kākāpō chicks has just gone live with Animal @MicrobiomeJ!! Did management practices have an effect on bacterial population? Click below to find out :) rdcu.be/cWCVZ

Lear lab on tour - headed to QMB at @QTResearchWeek where Jess gave us a hot take on the #plastisphere before we hit the slopes

Thank you everyone who came to check out my poster at #ISME18 today 😊 it's currently under review so keep an eye out for the upcoming publication! #kakapo #microbiome #conservation

Swing by the #ISME18 poster session 1 this afternoon to have a chat with Jess Wallbank and @StefanMaday about the #plastiphere

Great effort towards #plastic reductions !

Coming up this week: A trip to @AUT_Living_Labs project at Pourewa. In collaboration with Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, AUT researchers are running planting experiments to figure out the best way to regenerate native forest. @buckleyhannah @jiff_s @CaseKiwadian @AUTuni @NWOrakei

Our Metagenomic study about plastic degrading superworms is out! by @jemma_sun @aprabhu90 @aroney_samuel @ChristianRinke @ace_uq @UQ_News microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa…

The NZMS 2022 conference website is now live! See you in Wellington this November! microbiologyconference.org.nz #MicrobesRule #NZMS22 @ausmycsoc

@SyrieHermans' latest publication explores the benefits that #eDNA metabarcoding can offer to ecological monitoring @buckleyhannah @t_buckley_nz @gavin_lear sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
