Biology of Extreme Environments

The enrollment procedure is finally open! Visit our webpage bioextreme.it/enroll.html and follow the procedure! Come to work with us on the future!

My run for the stars is officially over. Last year I've applied to the @esa #AstronautSelection. We started in ~22,000 very talented applicants. Sadly, today I got the news that I will not be invited to the panel interview 1/7

The best #cartoon for #MicrobeArt2022 goes to Luca Tonietti (@Antiprotony)!! 🥂 Such a wonderful idea to create a new "Marvel Like" cartoon Villain: Capt. V. cholerae ✨ @intmicroday #InternationalMicroorganismDay

Fantastic post #fo2school filedtrip in Dolomites just ended. Thank you all for being part of it and for memorable memories over the past 10 day. Here some zipped impressions: Hold your breath - its a carbonate platform; Indiana Jones as Luca Ziberna; M3 - our guides! @UniTrieste

Excited to share that I was awarded an @NSF OCE Postdoc Research Fellowship! The project merges my PhD work on coral endoliths with my postdoc research on microbial sulfur cycling. I’ll continue working in the @Rufflab at @MBLScience along with a wonderful team of collaborators!

Postdoc opportunity! We are looking for a postdoc (and potentially also an MSc student) to study how marine microbial communities respond to anthropogenic pollutants. Cool datasets await analysis! For more information please see our website: sites.google.com/marsci.haifa.a…. Please RT

Pls share! A postdoc position in the Bacteriology & Aquatic Biogeochemistry Lab (the bablab) @ MIT in microbiology, microbial ecology & microbial interactions in marine systems/climate science. Email CV, brief statement of interests, & 3 refs to (Andrew Babbin) babbin@mit.edu

Things are about to get real at the @fo2school in Trieste @UniTrieste. Organized by @LucaZiberna and colleagues with 120 International on site participants, 80 more online and a fantastic line up of speakers. Follow the school account for updates! #fo2school

A big box of these arrived in my office today. If you want to know what taxi drivers think about the origin of life, life on Mars or whether we should even be exploring space, have a read! #astrobiology #space @Harvard_Press @GreeneandHeaton @HarvardUPLondon @EdinburghUni @

📢📢 Fully funded PhD position in my group @QMUL: ❄️ The role of the atmosphere in shaping and sustaining microbial communities on glaciers ❄️ with @AnneDJungblut @greeninglab @JackieGoordial & @lifeinrocks Application deadline: 03 Oct 22 RT! Link 👇 findaphd.com/phds/project/t…

🦠+🧠=⚠️ New #preprint that we are super excited about: #archaea in #human gut #microbiome linked to #Parkinson’s disease pathogenesis. @uni_lu @lcsb_uni_lu @ResearchLux Funded by @ERC_Research @FnrLux @MichaelJFoxOrg @ParkinsonDotOrg @Rotary #Luxembourg researchsquare.com/article/rs-182…

Extreme heat is now breaking long-standing all-time records in Germany 🇩🇪 Cottbus station in the northeast of the country about 100 km from Berlin has set a new all-time heat record (for any month). The new record is 39.2°C (102.6°F). Observations here began in 1888.

Often a major scientific discovery can be boiled down to a single plot in a paper. Zachary Blount + Richard Lenski @RELenski show that E.coli bacteria can evolve the ability to feed on citrate rather than their normal glucose diet. It took 33,127 generations #LTEE PMID: 18524956

EBAME7 microbial ecogenomics workshop applications are open: maignienlab.gitlab.io/ebame7/ Brest, 🇫🇷, Oct. 24-Nov. 4 2022. Join us to learn more about omics data analysis methods for microbial ecology and evolution. Two weeks packed with lectures, tutorials in the beautiful Brest Bay.

@AbrarAh33821051 @LMBExE @MSCActions @CVetriani @alessferrillo Check out the enrollment procedure at the @LMBExE website bioextreme.it

Exciting (and very well paid!) PhD position at UNINA to study the microbial diversity of shallow-water hydrothermal vents funded by @MSCActions in the laboratory of @d_giovannelli #giovannellilab. Deadline June 30. #PhDposition #microbiology crescendo.unina.it

Delighted to share our Opinion article "Harmonizing Prokaryotic Nomenclature: Fixing the Fuss over Phylum Name Flipping" in @mbiojournal @ASMicrobiology. Here we criticize the recent Bacteria-Archaea phyla name changes and suggest some valid solutions. 1/n journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

Proud to be in this program. I strongly recommend this degree only to the people who love Extremophiles and Astrobiology.

The Biology Dept at Univesity of Naples offers a unique Master Degree program in the Biology of Extreme Environments with a great chance to study astrobiology in Italy within a a vibrant research team. The enrollment is now open!

@XtremeVirusProf Absolutely! Come visit us in Naples anytime you want!

May I?
