@HangweiHu @ASM_VicBranch Congrats Zahra! Very well deserved!

Congratulations Dr Zahra Islam receiving the prestigious Jim Pittard Award at ASM 2025 annual meeting in Adelaide!@Zahra_F_Islam @ASM_VicBranch

My team crashed out last night. Who knew Taylor Swift grew up on a farm where they grew Christmas trees?!!! Not my team 🤷‍♀️ No one goes home empty handed at the annual Vic branch Soil Science Australia trivia quiz night. Plenty of fun prizes for all e.g bag of carrots 🤣😍

Finally a huge shout out to my wonderful co-authors and especially my amazing supervisors @Zahra_F_Islam, @HangweiHu and @UteRoessner. This work would not have been possible without you!

Extremely happy to share that the first chapter from my PhD has finally been published! Read more about it here: link.springer.com/article/10.100… 1/2

We described the core root microbiome of a model grass and isolated some of its members. We also showed that gaining a snapshot of the entire microbiome allows for selection of potential biofertiliser candidates which may go overlooked by traditional culture based methods. 2/2

@dr_hlhayden Adorable!

Today I had the pleasure of meeting students & staff at Ruyton Girls School, Kew.👩‍🎓 I went to talk about what inspired me to work in science and my career for #NationalScienceWeek. Thanks to the student who captured my talk in this lovely drawing. Me + plants, bananas & soil ❤️

It was an absolute pleasure and privilege to present at #miCROPe2024 🌿 Met some amazing people and found the few Aussies that also made the trip 😊

First first author paper by brilliant my PhD student @Cottop1! Which also makes it my first student whose work I've overseen as corresponding author! 😄 @FertiliserHub @SciMelb #scicomm #ecrchat #microbiome #proudsupervisor #watchthisspace

@Zahra_F_Islam @FertiliserHub @SciMelb Thank you for your and @HangweiHu's support , would not have been possible without you !

Last speaker for session one is @Cottop1 from @FertiliserHub, @SciMelb, yelling us all about why we can't only use #culturedependent techniques for defining the #coremicrobiome and #plantgrowthpromoting bacteria for #biofertilisers. #MEEM2024

Awesome field trip in Darwin with my friends !! Leaning some soil science with the Jackfruit trees! #soilscienceaustralia

@Eppendorf_AG I recently saw one of my colleagues with one of your great pipette pens and was wondering whether these are sold anywhere?
