Are you at the International Conference on the Geo-Omics of Archaea (ICGOA) in Shenzhen this weekend? Come say hello at the poster session and check out my latest pre-print on a methane producing consortia dominated by ANME archaea.

🚨My first pre-print is up🚨Methane production from hydrocarbon by consortium dominated by ANME archaea. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Centred on microscopic footage of one small microbe during its final moments, this short makes for an intriguing and surprisingly moving reflection on life, death and the imprecise boundaries between these two states @JourneyToMicro aeon.co/videos/an-eleg…

And the only female to stand on the podium this afternoon for the team final… nbd. 💁‍♀️ #TeamUSA | #Paris2024

@archaeal I think my handle likely gives my vote away...

In our new paper at Cell (@CellCellPress), we reveal secrets of how the third form of life, archaea, make energy. We uncover new lineages of hydrogen-using enzymes, both minimal and complex. These help archaea thrive in all sorts of extreme environments. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We've been trying to find this purple blob for 6 Years! youtu.be/wG5yaD6QRg4

I was reminded of this editorial doi.org/10.1016/j.ydbi… in Developmental Biology when I saw my cell bio professor on campus today. "As scientists, it is essential for us to advocate for positive evolution within the scientific publishing system..."

Just wanted to call out and see if anyone knew of any postbacc positions/lab tech roles for a student I know who wants to gain some more experience prior to graduate school! He is interested in EEB research particularly marine community ecology/trophic interactions but 1/2

It's #MicroscopyMonday, so let's take a look into the 🔬! Researchers at the MBL mapped the full-body muscular activity of Hyrda Vulgaris while it was moving and behaving using a technique called calcium imaging. Credit: John Szymanski

A great midday break today with my lab mates to experience the eclipse!

A beautiful day to pass my qualifying exam with full support and no conditions 🤘🏻

I am looking for a summer undergraduate intern to contribute to estuary sampling for HABs, mixotrophy identification, and phytoplankton culturing! Paid position with housing available in Savannah! Applications are open #REU #marinescience #oceanography skio.uga.edu/undergraduate-…

Not trying to sway you one way or the other, of course. Just dropping this picture of the smallest Hummingbird Bobtail Squid next to a paperclip... Photo credit: Tim Briggs

@JourneyToMicro @Leao_pel This reminds me! How's your tardigrade doing?

We're often asked how to find tardigrades to look at under the microscope. One of the best ways comes from a century-old technique that we'll show you in our latest episode. 📺: youtu.be/O7tWN9kAZvQ

We are excited to announce that UT Summer Science registration is now open! UT Summer Science is an exciting, inquiry-based learning experience for youth entering 3rd through 8th grade.   Visit apps.ideal-logic.com/utexasparticip… for UT Summer Science Registration.

I’ve been dreaming of this paper for a decade. One PhD and one postdoc later, here it is! What do ecology and evolution look like in a 20-year freshwater time series? Turns out they blur together. @sarilog @quendi @archaeal @USLTER @NSF @jgi biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out this AMAZING preprint from my lab mate @RobinRohwer where she analyzed 20 YEARS worth of data from Lake Mendota! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Take time to stop and watch the ants 🐜🌿
