My second postdoc-paper is out in Environmental @MicrobiomeJ ! I am delighted to share our last work with @DevoogdNicole, on the transmission of bacterial communities during the first stages of the #freshwater #sponge Spongilla lacustris! …ronmentalmicrobiome.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Just spend 3 weeks in very warm seawater in Indonesia. Besides many bleached corals, I observed for the very first time many “bleached” individuals of this beautiful sponge Callyspongia aerizusa. Back home now, will the population recover soon? #spongethursday
