Art meets science Viborg Gymnasium has unveiled a stunning terrazzo floor created by Amalie Smith as part of the Levende jord (Living Soil) project. Created in collaboration with CeMiSt, Microflora Danica, Biotech Academy, and donated by Ny Carlsbergfondet. Beautiful. Educational. Interdisciplinary.

The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters hosts a series of public lectures, talks, and events. Lectures throughout Denmark and online about "What happens when the sea changes?" - starting 6.9. See www.videnskaber.dk/events (lectures in Danish) @dg.dk The Danish National Research Foundation

Associate Professor Detmer Sipkema from Wageningen University @w-u-r.bsky.social gave an interesting talk at CeMiSt last week: "The biosynthetic landscape of marine sponge microbiomes" elaborating on the ecological role of their metabolites in the sponge holobiont – absolutely fascinating! @dg.dk

At last weeks CeMiSt meeting, we were lucky to have Professor Andreas Schramm from Center for Electromicrobiology share his incredible fascinating work on cable bacteria. See more at bio.au.dk/forskning/fo... @dg.dk Danmarks Grundforskningsfond / The Danish National Research Foundation

This week, PhD student Lauge Alfastsen @lalfast.bsky.social had a walk’n’talk with school kids attending the Bloom Festival www.bloom.ooo, to talk about microbes from the marine environment and how they may contribute to finding novel antimicrobials. @dg.dk The Danish National Research Foundation
