A great tenure track position (Assistant Professor) of Sustainable Plant Nutrition @ethz.ch @usyseth.bsky.social @johansix.bsky.social ! Deadline to apply: 28/02/2026. ethz.ch/en/the-eth-z...

The #NNF_WheatAlliance team HARD at work. 400 plants harvested yesterday for the rhizoplane and roots. It took the team of 12 over 12 hours to finish. Luckily the lights in the greenhouse are so bright we enjoy all day “sun”. Tomorrow we go again….

We are ready for sampling tomorrow! #NNF_WheatAlliance 400 plants across 4 days = 1600 samples. Wish us luck… Not shown: the 100 liters of autoclaved water we will use to wash the roots.

Great opportunity!

High-throughput DNA extraction from soil: experiences? best kits? best tools? If you had a decent chunk of money to throw at it, what system would you set up to make it fast and high quality? 🌾 🧪 🔬 🦠

The Center for Microscopy and Image Analysis at the University of Zurich is seeking a new Head: jobs.uzh.ch/job-vacancie... It is super fun to work with them, tons of expertise and cutting edge instrumentation in ❄️🔬 Application deadline: December 15, 2025.

The opening speaker is @pabnik.bsky.social who has been turning Pseudomonas putida into a bioproduction workhorse #DMS2025

It wasn’t long away from live-tweeting: today is the #DMS2025 Congress, where all microbiologists across Denmark gather for a day of networking and exchanging ideas 🧫🦠

Very special moment to be appreciated by the conference for the (sometimes busy work!) of live-tweeting. 50% it’s for me to remember what I heard, but also 50% to share the wonderful work of my peers ⭐️

The next #PMS2027 will be CHINA! Spicy food and nice weather in Changsha. Hope to see you all again in two years! Also thank you to @microsos.bsky.social for the nice gift recognizing the social media work, and the judges for 2nd place poster 😄

Welcome back to day 4 of #PMS2025! Unfortunately I won't be so active this morning, I have a postdoc grant to submit in three hours 😁 I refer you to the expert live-tweeting of @evolvedbiofilm.bsky.social

That's it for today with #PMS2025! Today we have a half day to enjoy some of the beautiful nature and landscape around Antequera. See you tomorrow.
