PhD opportunity in my group as part of the #CONCENTRATE TRR. Marine algae-glycan-bacterial interactions. Please apply or share! www.uni-greifswald.de/en/universit...

Proud to be part of this!

I'm so happy and proud to be part of the collaborative research centre CONCENTRATE! Lots of cool research on algal-bacterial interactions and carbon cycling planned in my group. Stay posted!

Enjoying my first stay at #SLU in Uppsala as an August T. Larsson guest researcher. Looking forward to strengthening collaborations within aquatic microbial ecology and #OneHealth with Prof. Stefan Bertilsson and others!

Junior faculty job alert in Germany - Marine Evolutionary Genomics @geomarkiel.bsky.social / University of Kiel www.geomar.de/en/karriere/... Marine study system of your choice (no microbes, sorry…), excellent infrastructure and ship access, moderate teaching requirements, closing date 6 June

Microbiology Postdocs from all over Europe and the Globe! 🦠😎👍 Application for the FEMS SSPD 2025 “Harnessing microbial solutions in environmental research and One Health” is now open 👇 2 – 10 Sept 2025 on Lake Ohrid, North Macedonia Co-Directors: Joana Falcao Salles and @luederslab.bsky.social

it's a hard and sad time in science / higher ed in the US right now. on the other hand, lots of PhDs are looking for work, so I wanted to share— I'm hiring a postdoc! it's a two-year position at UCSC to do (preferably Bayesian) modeling of marine ecosystems: recruit.ucsc.edu/JPF01892

I'm beyond excited to be part of this collaborative research centre! Stay tuned for updates from me on shallow water bodies in (coastal) peatlands and their microbiomes!

Kicking off WETSCAPES 2.0! This week marked the start of the first @dfg.de collaborative research center dedicated to researching rewetted fens. Over 50 scientists discussed the 100 screening sites, 5 core sites, and 2 landscape-level experiments. And we installed the first of our 1,000 sensors!

Celebrating our recently published paper on sea urchin microbiomes in fond memory of coauthor Stein Fredriksen, a wonderful scientist, colleague and friend ❤️

Are seagrass meadows filters or reservoirs of pathogenic bacteria? Maybe both! Check out our new paper on Vibrios www.int-res.com/abstracts/am...

The GEOMAR seagrass team is hiring. Time to make coastal restoration long-term sustainable. A fully funded 4-yr PhD position on eelgrass seascape genomics in the Baltic Sea, further details see here www.geomar.de/en/karriere/... @geomarkiel.bsky.social DM me for inquiries

and another 5-yr (!) postdoctoral position at GEOMAR Kiel on advancing seagrass assisted evolution, see details and link to apply www.geomar.de/en/karriere/.... Omics and pop genetics knowledge required, seagrass and coastal ecology desirable. @geomarkiel.bsky.social DM me for inquiries

John Raven was a great inspiration to me as a budding scientist, proud to have met him in person!

New #museomics lab manager wanted at the University of Copenhagen!

Reorienting myself in the new social media landscape because of reasons. What is currently the best alternative to instagram, e.g. for science outreach purposes?

Still a few days left to apply for numerous exciting PhD and Postdoc positions within the interdisciplinary WETSCAPES2.0 consortium, including a PhD position in my group and a Postdoc closely collaborating with us. Anyone interested in peatlands should check out and spread the word!

That's me in the pink hat! Excited to learn more about peatland microbiomes :)

📢 The first PhD paper of my first PhD student Justus Nweze is out! 🤩 We looked at aerobic and anaerobic methanotrophs in Czech peat: academic.oup.com/femsec/advan... Thanks also to Vojtech Tlaskal, @wutkowska.bsky.social, Travis Meador, Tomas Picek, and Zuzana Urbanova for a great collaboration!

We spent a large part of our summer on annotating protein coding genes in 49 diatom genomes. A joint effort of @jillwegrzyn.bsky.social 's team at UConn, @miamynta.bsky.social and my own team UG. Preprint: doi.org/10.48550/arX... Data is currently on Zenodo.

Finally, our perspective paper „Active afforestation of drained peatlands is not a viable option under the EU Nature Restoration Law is published in Ambio. We urgently need an undiluted Nature Restoration Law! link.springer.com/article/10.1... @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social @succowstiftung.bsky.social

Today, for the first time in my life, I signed a permanent working contract. A milestone I will make sure to celebrate, latest during the weekend! Feelings are mixed, joy and relief are prominent, yet there is so much left to fight for, for me personally as well as others in academia #ichbinhanna

Excited to be part of this work about freshwater mixotrophs in lake Lunz led by Sebastiaan Koppelle and Susanne Wilken aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

We saw sulfate-reducing bacteria in the middle of a phytoplankton bloom and found that a bit strange, so decided to make a paper out of it! Out now in FEMSEC academic.oup.com/femsec/artic.... Thanks to all collabs at @mpimarinemicrobio.bsky.social and @unigreifswald.bsky.social

#stellefrei Im Projekt EDELNASS (es geht um Biomasse-Eigenschaften von Paludikulturbiomasse auch in Abh. von Standortcharakteristika und Life Cucle Assessment) möchten wir asap eine Stelle als wissenschaftliche/r Mitarbeiter/in besetzen (65% E13). www.uni-greifswald.de/universitaet...

Cool paper lead by the team of @miamynta.bsky.social : doi.org/10.1093/fems... It's cool because we did not previously know that sulfate reducing bacteria play a role in diatom blooms.

Very impressive and important article on the importance of the few but critical particle attached bacteria critical for remineralisation of algal glycans from blooms, co-authored by @miamynta.bsky.social and others microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....
