🎉Inspired by pioneering science? So are we🙋 We’re thrilled to announce the first @HypothesisFund seed grants! We’ll be celebrating each outstanding #grantee throughout the day - follow along! 🙌🥂🔬💫 bit.ly/HFgrants

@betulland @Hypothesisfund @HarmitMalik Congratulations Betül! Very excited to see where your inspiring science leads with help from the @Hypothesisfund!Thanks to hypothesis fund scout @HarmitMalik for elevating exciting geobiology research and this amazing scientist.

Honored to receive the @Hypothesisfund grant! This award will enable us to get started on a new & bold direction: studying a microbial organism’s history to understand its past solutions to changing environmental & climatic conditions. So thankful for the nomination @HarmitMalik!

@fabaiwu @NatureMicrobiol Congratulations Fabai! Love seeing Diane’s vent on the cover. The orphan lab is celebrating with you!

On the cover of this issue of @NatureMicrobiol featuring our work on the genome chimerism of Asgard #archaea is the deepest #hydrothermalvent system known to us in the Pacific #Ocean.

Yay Aradhna @ClumpedIsotopes congratulations on your agu award!! Well deserved!

While I won’t be at the AGU fellows banquet in person this year, I did want to take a moment to thank the people who nominated me. I appreciate the time and effort it takes and the importance of paying it forward. Congratulations to all of the 2021 fellows!

Democracies don’t collapse all at once. Leaders who don’t want to give up power don’t just announce democracy is over. It often starts by making it impossible for anyone who wants to change the status quo to vote.

@LMT_Spoon @Caltech Hi Lev- Caltech sent out a statement to our community last night. The letter was slow in coming, but it is a thoughtful and sincere response.

Professors still teaching: have you addressed #GeorgeFloyd’s murder & recent ongoings (riots, weaponizing white tears, etc) during your classes? At least opened with a statement of acknowledgement & POC support, condemning wrongdoing? If so, how did you, or how would you have?

We are hiring: 4 full professorships (W3), Geoscience Department, University of Tübingen, Germany, Terrestrial Geo-Biosphere interactions. 1) Climatology & Biosphere 2) Terrestrial Sedimentology 3) Near-Surface Geophysics 4) Geo-Biosphere Interactions earthworks-jobs.com/geoscience/tub…

You might have seen dramatic before-and-after photos of cities previously blanketed by smog now sporting spectacular vistas. But it's not as simple as a photo would suggest. Atmospheric scientist @wennbergcaltech clears the air: ow.ly/tQWD50znLLa

So proud of ⁦@Symbioxys⁩ - promoted to full professor at Occidental college today!

@mcsymbiont @americanacad Thanks for the kind words John! It has been a joy to have collaborators like you in my life.

@Symbioxys Ok, so what does it take to get a ride inside what looks like the inside of the Millennium Falcon to go see some deep-sea worms? #SciFriLive

@phantomBugs Wonderful idea Ben- I’ll pass this along to a few folks in the lab. Thanks!

Nine STEM-related professionals – one senator and eight members of the House of Representatives — were voted into office during the 2018 midterms. They include an ocean scientist, an aerospace engineer, a software engineer and a biochemist. n.pr/2OO7Eeg

Another great LLNL job: Postdoc in microbe-metal interactions/biomineralization— for cement curing (so cool!) Need solid skills in bacterial/fungal physiology, culturing, cloning. Prior knowledge of mineralogy or biomineralization a +. contact Yongqin Jiao at jiao1@llnl.gov

We were off to a rough start yesterday- high winds and big waves, but definitely worth the wait to finally meet my namesake scale worm Peinaleopolynoe orphanae (thanks Greg Rouse for the honor). The Pescadero vents are truly spectacular. Follow us live! #pescaderoventdiving
