New blog post: "Higher orders need higher standards" skewed.de/lab/posts/hi... I discuss our current work disentangling misconceptions around "higher-order" networks: arxiv.org/abs/2602.16937 Explainer thread for the paper here: bsky.app/profile/tiag...

New on the arxiv: “Graphs are maximally expressive for higher-order interactions” arxiv.org/abs/2602.16937 We clarify central misconceptions in the recent literature on "higher-order networks". w/ @piratepeel.bsky.social , @manlius.bsky.social, and @thilogross.bsky.social Explainer 🧵: 1/N

How can we reform science? I have some ideas. But I am not sure you’ll like them, because they don’t promise much. elevanth.org/blog/2025/07...

Soils rock, obviously. And microbes too! Professorship opening @ter-cemess.bsky.social. Fantastic team and world-class research environment! Join us at @cemess.bsky.social, @univie.ac.at

Working on microscale microbial functions and/or scaling up? Submit to our Elementa special feature! 🔗 lnkd.in/gChyjaiM 📝 Rolling publication 📅 Final deadline: Sept 20, 2025 🌍 Contributions welcome from soil, ocean & human systems.

Looking for Master's thesis projects? Join us in Vienna to study : - bacterial ecology - fungal-bacterial interactions - microbial modeling

📣 Our special feature highlighting cutting-edge microbial eco-evolutionary research is now live and open for submissions! online.ucpress.edu/elementa/pag.... Submission deadline: September 20, 2025 (but accepted papers will be published on a rolling basis starting immediately).

TER - We had our annual Science Retreat yesterday. Great science, discussions, and fun! #TerrestrialEcosystemResearch @cemess.bsky.social

Congratulations to @kseniaguseva.bsky.social for becoming Senior Scientist at @ter-cemess.bsky.social, @cemess.bsky.social, @univie.ac.at Wonderful to have you on board! ter.univie.ac.at/news-talks/n...

High time for #EGU25 submissions. Consider contributing to our interdisciplinary session on the spatial heterogeneity of soils influencing biogeochemical matter cycles and C dynamics. meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio... @edithhammer.bsky.social, @mud-maik.bsky.social, S.König, N.Meyer

#EGU25 abstract submission deadline is approaching (Jan 15)--so many great sessions to choose! See 3 re-posts below, and for modelers: meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio... chaired by @moritzmohrlok.bsky.social, @albertbrangari.bsky.social, @kseniaguseva.bsky.social, Hassan Karjoun

Less than 24 hours left to submit an abstract to #EGU25! Please consider our session on microbial models in SSS4.8 if you are #modelling #microbes to explain what's going on in #soil :) Featuring a keynote talk by @manzonilab.bsky.social! @kseniaguseva.bsky.social @albertbrangari.bsky.social

If you loved (or missed!) our AGU24 session, don’t miss our #EGU25 session, "Advancing Soil Carbon Predictions"! 🥁 Invited speaker: Elena Shevliakova (Princeton), a leader in integrating microbes into land surface models. Submit abstracts by Jan 15 🗓️: meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio...

If you have the feeling that @bsky.app is different, maybe you are right. The current migration is breaking the typical rich-get-richer effect wrt other platforms #scaling Data: Twitter: 10.9M users BlueSky (Mar 2024): 4.1M users, 🙏 @andreajpg.bsky.social Mastodon: 3.8M users, 🙏 @tiago.skewed.de

1st anniversary of our #FWF Cluster of Excellence "Microbiomes Drive Planetary Health"! Inspiring meeting with groundbreaking ideas, especially from our diverse group of international early career researchers. Exciting research is on the horizon - stay tuned for more updates!

Excited to share our latest paper in PLOSCompBiol @plos.bsky.social ! journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol... Our study dives into the comparison of possible extracellular polysaccharide degradation strategies and their impact on microbial growth and community dynamics. 1/6 #Microbialecology
