PhD opportunity: Modelling Natural Hydrogen systems using Agent Based modelling. Based at Heriot Watt University and working with us at the British Geological Survey - would suit a geologist/modeller curious about microbes iapetus2.ac.uk/studentships/m…

Ever wondered when and where microbes could survive around a radioactive waste storage facility but never found the time to trawl through all the literature? Then it's your lucky day because we've done the hard work for you. Read and enjoy! academic.oup.com/femsre/article…

People sometimes ask us, "what, exactly, is geomicrobiology?" Today the answer is, "mostly chopped veg". #MICPexperiments

@GarethFarr1 @MT_Bailey When we had a very quick look during a REE biomining project, we thought that there wasn't likely to be quantities that would be economically interesting. I'd love it if we were proved wrong and we could try our REE bioleaching/biorecovery bugs on some mine wastes

@MT_Bailey not yet but think we will at some point :)

Discovery of REE at Wyoming coal mine could be worth $37bn apparently - ill look forward to learning more about this one. independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…

@darren_broom @HidenIsochema @InterPoreTweets I don't know the answer to that, maybe I should come and talk to you tomorrow!

This poster title at #Interpore2023 is intriguing... Could @HidenIsochema make a move into microbiology? @InterPoreTweets

Gave a talk at InterPore2023 on 161. Novel laboratory apparatus for understanding microbiology in hydrogen storage in porous media. Thanks for the great turnout! #interpore2023 #porousmedia @interporetweets - via #Whova event app

Funds available for transnational visits to labs working on energy stories - labs include the British Geological Survey's Geomicrobiology laboratory. Deadline 31.07.23

BGS recruitment: includes a call for for geoscientists with a range of geoscience knowledge, skills and experience. We'd love to see some new colleagues with skills and interests in understanding the role of microbes in the subsurface from a geoscientist's perspective...

Our case study on microbiology in a ground source heat pump in the Cardiff urban #geoobservatory is available online in a special issue on geothermal energy systems in @NGWAtweets Groundwater Journal. #unexpectedmethane @BGSWales @GarethFarr1 @aha_micro ngwa.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
