An enlightening final day at #ThunenSoilMetagenomics capped off with some #glühwein at #Braunschweig #ChristmasMarket

An insightful talk today by @DagmarWoebken on understanding the #survival mechanisms of #microbes in #desert crusts. This also made me think about #pathogen survival in #manure -amended #soil #ThunenSoilMetagenomics

The value of combining #DNA and #RNA approaches is clearly visualised in @baldrianp 's talk on seasonal changes in coniferous forest #soil at the root-soil interface. #metabolomics #metagenomics #ThunenSoilMetagenomics

A great talk by Martin Hartmann examining an interface of agricultural practice and #soil #microbiology. #soilcompaction #agriculture #ThunenSoilMetagenomics

An excellent talk yesterday by @kyrpides highlighting the glut of #genomic data being produced- many suggest we need to vastly improve #Metadata curation to make proper use of it though!

A big thank you to @STARScdt for supporting my attendance of the #ThunenSoilMetagenomics Symposium 2019. More tweets to follow! #Soil #metagenomics

We've helped to produce a report with 7 recommendations that could support UK Government in tackling antimicrobial resistance in the primary care setting. Tell us what you think #StopSuperbugs appg-on-antibiotics.com/assets/Primary…

What's the story with #AMR in #dairy farm agricultural #soil? Find out more at #EGU19 tomorrow SSS9.2; 10:00- 10:15 am; room -2.47.

The @EuroGeosciences is just around the corner! Looking forward to catching up with my colleagues in the Soil System Science division next week & presenting my work from @UoNHounsfield in SSS9.2 on Wednesday morning #EGU2019 #starsoil

Discussing the @STARScdt 2019 conference and the importance of #soilscience with Harry Barrat wp.lancs.ac.uk/stars/2019/in-…

Great to see the importance of understanding #AMR in the #environment featured in latest UK Gov't action plan, although wish #soil was mentioned more explicitly. bit.ly/2RKuh9N

New UK 5-year action plan to tackle #AMR plans to deepen understanding of AMR in the #environment #environmentalAMR bit.ly/2RKuh9N

@ProfPHaygarth Thanks Phil! I'm more inspired than ever by #soilscience after a week with such an eclectic and engaging mix of researchers.

Good job @AMRontheFarm #celebrateSTARS #STARsoil

There's more than one way to skin a #metagenome...

For Christ's Sake, can people stop publishing so I can catch up on my reading... Yet another interesting #AMR paper, "Modelling environmental antibiotic-resistance gene abundance: A meta-analysis" buff.ly/2CVgjsH

@EGU_SSS Abstract Call: Global #Climate and land use changes – relevance for #microbial life in #soil convened by Kelly Ramirez. See the Abstract Call below and for any questions contact Kelly on: k.ramirez@nioo.knaw.nl

Public Health Minister @BrineMinister tells Commons @LSHTM's evaluation of current UK strategy on #AMR nearing completion. Final draft will be sent out for independent peer-review soon. Completed report will be made public next year #StopSuperbugs theyworkforyou.com/wrans/?id=2018…

EXCITING NEWS FOR @Soil_Science #ECR RESEARCHERS! We're delighted to announce that our fully funded 2019 ECR Conference will be in Sheffield on April 16th-17th! Initial info & Registration is here: soils.org.uk/event/1602 and lots more info will be available soon! #phdchat
