Arrived where the sky is blue and that's where I will be from now on

New lab toy (Dionex IC system) has arrived, thanks to the NSF BRC BIO grant. Exciting days ahead..

@_Emma_Bell @NSF Thanks Emma!

@acmicrobio @NSF Congratulations Anirban!

Thrilled to announce that our lab received it's first major grant through the @NSF BRC-BIO program. This funding will allow us to continue our work on the biogeography of dormant extremophiles in the marine sedimentary biome. A PhD position will be advertised soon - stay tuned!

JOB ALERT ‼️ Assistant Lecturer position in Biological Sciences at Idaho State University. Teaching courses in genetics, ecology, and/or biochemistry. Come join our department! @SICB_DCE @SICB_SPDAC @SBNTweets isu.csod.com/ux/ats/careers…

Is it OK to spend 12 months to get a visa to attend a 3-day conference? My piece in @ScienceMagazine sheds light on this issue many scholars from institutionally discriminated countries experience on a regular basis Spoiler: 12 months, 900$, get rejected science.org/content/articl…

Still a few days left to apply for two PhD positions in my lab @NorthumbriaUni and in collaboration with industry (@Syngenta, @ProcterGamble): findaphd.com/phds/project/d… Deadline: 1st Dec 2022 findaphd.com/phds/project/u… Deadline: 30th Nov 2022 Pls RT!

@EllenLalk Congratulations Ellen!

Thesis = defended 🥳

Our method, SituSeq, for portable and offline analysis of Nanopore 16S rRNA amplicons is out as a preprint. We used it last field season to analyze deep sea sediments while on the Atlantic⛵️ and have compared results b/w @Nanopore and Illumina platforms biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
