🌊 Save the Date! 🌍 #SAME18 — Aquatic Microbiomes on a Changing Planet 📍 Barcelona, Spain | 🗓️ Sept 28 – Oct 3, 2025 At the iconic PRBB 🧬🌿 Join us to explore the frontiers of aquatic microbial ecology. 📢 Stay tuned for more info and follow us on Bluesky! #MicrobialEcology #MarineMicrobiology #SAME18

I'm on the train on my way home from #AquaEcOmics with lots of new research ideas after three days of uncountable interesting talks and discussions.

We released the first batch of metagenomes collected by the European Marine Omics Biodiversity Observation Network!

Great opening of #aquaecomics meeting given by Isabelle Domaizon #evian #omics #metabarcoding #edna #metagenomics #water… We are 240 attendees on site and 40 online! With more than 120 presentations and 40 posters aquaecomics.symposium.inrae.fr

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

Nice article on the research of my PhD student Sarah Schmidlin. Unfortunately only in Dutch.

Duik in de wereld van oesterlarven met VLIZ-onderzoekster Sarah Schmidlin. Op zoek naar een vestigingsplek moeten de larven van de Japanse oester keuzes maken die hun overleving en succes als volwassen oester bepalen. Een verkeerde keuze kan fataal zijn... www.vliz.be/testerep/nl/...

I'm very proud to coordinate this project with this fantastic team. We will gain a lot of insights in how to optimize the use of eDNA for species detection in a complex coastal ecosystem.

News from the Guardias @guardias.bsky.social & Onestop @onestopproject.bsky.social Projects Kickoff Meeting has just been released. Read all about it at www.eurekalert.org/news-release... , witnews.eu/ambitious-pr..., www.alphagalileo.org/en-gb/Item-D... #GuardiasOnestopKickoff @ec.europa.eu

Day 2 - we're looking forward to a full day of collaboration! Today we are briefed on different Work Packages and discuss synergies to increase the impacts of our projects Guardias and OneSTOP #GuardIASOneStopKickOff @onestopproject.bsky.social @ec.europa.eu

#GuardIASOneStopKickOff meeting brings together science, tech and community engagement experts to tackle the problems caused by #invasivespecies. Kickstarting an innovative & comprehensive opportunity for the EU’s efforts to preserve biodiversity & protect ecosystems @onestopproject.bsky.social

Metadata standards are sorely needed for eDNA - there's a similar workshop coming up st the eDNA SEeDNA conference in NZ in February!

An adapted version of our #GuardIAS Grant Proposal has just been published in Management of Biological Invasions. You may download it from here: www.reabic.net/journals/mbi... #bioinvasions #InvasiveSpecies #MarineEcology #AquaticEcology 🌍🌐🧪

GuardIAS outcomes will contribute to meeting the requirements of multiple policies, such as the IAS Regulation, EU Biodiversity Strategy, Birds and Habitats Directives, Nature Restoration Law, Marine Action Plan, the Ocean Decade, and the KM-GBF. #Bioinvasions #MarineEcology #AquaticEcology
