Meet the uninvited guest I found chilling in my colleague's zooplankton culture 😍 #cyanobacteria

How do cyanobacteria glide in sync? 🌀 New research on Fluctiforma draycotensis shows that filament movement relies on tightly coordinated cellular forces, and when that coordination breaks down, the filaments twist and buckle. buff.ly/Q4l6w5y

I was told today that my problem as a microbiologist is having very high “clean” standards… but I’m pretty sure most people would agree this flask is dirty 😬 #postdoclife

Such a great magic trick when the S-Bahn turned an 8-minute wait into a 18-minute one 🫠

In the times of anti-science we are living, we really don't need this. We need to move away from judging academic "quality" by paper counts or big-name journals. These flawed metrics are biased, unfair and IMO driving the system to collapse.

Roughly 10% of all living organisms lack superoxide scavenging enzymes (SOSEs). How do they survive superoxide stress? Research in #mBio suggests redox-based metabolic reprogramming may compensate for loss of SOSEs in pathogenic bacteria. Get the story: asm.social/2wV

Oh no. It's Monday again. Isn't it.

The microbial communities of freshwater adapt rapidly to changing environmental conditions such as chemical pollution. 🦠 This #FEMSmicroBlog explores whether microbial communities could serve as early warning indicators of pollution in aquatic ecosystems. #FascinatingMicrobes buff.ly/QwMy9J7

We are excited to announce the SMBE Fellows Program! ✍️ Designed to provide networking and mentorship opportunities to early-career researchers through scientific writing in evolutionary biology for @molbioevol.bsky.social and @genomebiolevol.bsky.social 📆 Aug. 31 🔗 smbe.org/smbe-fellows-program

Thanks to the initiative of @neurocure.bsky.social for the second year in a row, we teamed up to bring Soapbox Science to the Peter Ustinov School, connecting 10th-graders with science on June 18th. The great idea behind these events is to break down barriers and show that science is for everyone.

Out now from @diamondlab.bsky.social — stable microbiome communities using tractable cyanobacteria. An important development for folks working on cyanobacteria, microbial community formation and establishment in lab settings, and microbial community ecology! Read here: tinyurl.com/3cs2x6r7

Don’t judge a lake by its colour. In The Media: WI member Dr. Jozef Nissimov explores how viruses that attack cyanobacteria could help clear toxic algal blooms—but may leave behind hidden toxins. Read the @cottagelife article: cottagelife.com/general/coul...
