After hearing this talk, climbing mountains to sample soil does not seem so bad anymore! Things we do for science 😊 great talk Savvas! #mbkceesme2025 @mikrobiokosmos.bsky.social

It’s great to be at #mbkceesme2025 so far, hearing about all things microbial! It’s always rewarding to present one’s work and hear the community’s feedback. Thanks for the support @isme-microbes.bsky.social

🌊 We’re delighted to announce a dedicated #ISMEsession on October 24th, featuring ISME prizes for the best oral and poster presentations. We’re also hosting mentoring sessions designed for PhD students and ECRs, a fantastic chance to connect and grow within our community! @isme-microbes.bsky.social

This year we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of our 35 applicants. We selected 14 of them (max positions is 15) and we can’t wait to meet our new students and start collaborating with them in the 2025-6 academic year! #msc

Just got the final proofs of my book💓 Available on Amazon worldwide next week Very exciting! I’ve packed into it everything I’ve learned about writing and publishing over the past 20 years I really hope it helps many jump over the writing and publishing barriers💪

Just out: metagenomics with internal standards yields phylogenetically resolved genome ("~cell") counts of bacteria, archaea, and photosynthetic eukaryotes per L of seawater, over the AMT29 Atlantic transect, via "single copy" genes (recA, radA, psbO). Compares with microscopy and flow cytometry.

BEHOLD! One of Earth's greatest lineages of life: the lil wiggle arm guys, Meteora. These single-celled critters, originally found in deep-sea sediments, are SO DIFFERENT from other lifeforms on Earth that they're likely in their own kingdom (as in, the Animal Kingdom, the Plant Kingdom etc). 🧪🌿

How to speed up peer review: make applicants mark one another ‘Distributed peer review’ of grants makes process more than twice as fast — and includes some cheat-prevention measures. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
