The 2nd paper for my PhD is now published! Kettle holes are specific, but there are some horizon-based patterns of methane-cycling microbes, especially #methanogens and #methanoperedens. Thanks to my coauthors from @zalf.bsky.social and @unibonn.bsky.social ! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🌱🦠 🐄 A study by ZALF and the universities Greifswald & Hohenheim shows that #grassland #soils that were previously intensively used have not yet restored their potential to absorb #methane after three years of extensive use. www.zalf.de/en/aktue...#grassland#soils#methane#Grassland #Methane #Climate #Soil #Research

ending the year with my second paper submitted and being accepted for a presentation @vaam-microbes.bsky.social conference 2026. See you in March! 😀

great science, cool people, a beautiful city, and I won a poster prize - I had a awesome time at the @esmmicrobes.bsky.social conference!

#esm2025 is proud to publish @femsjournals.bsky.social @femsmicro.org award winners for the best posters: Francisca Prieto Fernandez and Danica Kynast. Congrats!

congrats!! I helped cutting @jruggaber.bsky.social's poster 😀

Great science today on ESM2025 #Helsinki #soil #fungi #microbenetworks

By the way, my first paper is published! A huge thank you to everyone involved from ZALF and @igb-berlin.de ! Detectable land use impact on methanotrophs and methanogens in kettle hole sediments but not on net methane production potentials academic.oup.com/femsec/artic...

throwback to the last sampling campaign of this year and possibly my entire PhD time. Still can't quite believe it! #kettlehole
