We are our best when we collaborate. 🧪🦠🔬🧬🌍🍄 This mural about the invisible #soil #biodiversity in Moers(🇩🇪) resulted from the collaboration between my friend Dr. Arne Schwelm, the people from sci:moers and the Stiftung für Umwelt und Entwicklung under the artistic direction of #cokyone.

Super cool update!! @rmshepherd.bsky.social was able to culture some thermophilic amoebae from our built environment steam vent samples on campus that can happily grow at at least 50C! They are most closely related to Fumarolamoeba (isolated from... yep... fumaroles!) #protistsOnSky #MicroSky

sampling some local @sunyesf.bsky.social built environments (steam vents!) in pursuit of extremophile protists with @micromaresca.bsky.social and @rmshepherd.bsky.social #MicroSky #ProtistsOnSky

Happy to share that work led by PhD student @rmshepherd.bsky.social is now out in Soil Biology & Biochem: sciencedirect.com/science/arti... We sought to shed light on how soil micronutrients (Fe, Zn, Mn ...) regulate belowground microbiomes. #MicroSky 🦠🧫🧪 #MicrobiomeSky

Hey AGU23! If you’re interested in soil + microbes, I’ll be presenting some of my research at 11am🥼🔬🧬

our lab group decided to go super scary this year for halloween... 😱😱😱 coding error messages we've had recently 😱😱😱 @rmshepherd.bsky.social @nimshika.bsky.social @hbrappap.bsky.social

Smiling through the pain 🥲
