It was wonderful to attend the Polar and Alpine Microbiology Conference in Copenhagen last week and discuss my aerobiology project from Summit Station, Greenland. Thank you @alexanesio.bsky.social for organizing #PAM2026

We are hiring! If you're interested in exploring the #biogeography of #prokaryotes using #genomics and #metagenomics, are interested in biology and geographic information systems, and are passionate about #OpenScience, this is for you! New PhD and PostDoc positions in my lab at Aalborg University

Very excited to share our new paper! #microsky #mevosky #microbiomesky 🧬🖥️

Aurora Roth and others have drafted a community letter affirming US researcher support for Greenland's self-governance and autonomy. Please consider reading and signing the letter (please use personal email if vulnerable to retaliation!) docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Happy #AntarcticaDay! Today marks 65 years of the Antarctic Treaty. Here are a few of my favorite photos from my time in the south. 1. Kite aerial selfie, WAIS Divide 2. Lab bench in Scott's 1911 Terra Nova Hut 3. Belly hook in the Dry Valleys 4. View from Castle Rock

I took biochem in 2001, and for nearly 20 years read amino acid sequences daily… and I never knew Dayhoff named them or even the logic behind things like Q until last Friday (h/t Mike Janech). Also, this is another big Dayhoff moment for me. She was incredible! #proteomics #bioinformatics

I just received this cool piece of Greenlandic history. Rasmussen and Freuchen minted these coins in 1910 as a currency for their Thule Trading Station at Cape York #Arctic #Greenland

Had a wonderful time helping teach a 3-day Environmental Genomics and SeqCode workshop at Shandong University, followed by a weekend of hearing great talks at the Chinese Association of Microbial Ecology meeting in Qingdao, China.

Another polar deployment in the books! A busy and memorable season filled with interesting projects, beautiful fogbows, and a great crew. #Arctic #Greenland #SummitStation

Field work in my final week at Summit Station, #Greenland ended with an unsettling surprise yesterday. Unbeknownst to me, a #polarbear was approaching from directly downwind while I was sampling snow south of station. 1/3

Back for another season in the midnight sun at Summit Station, #Greenland. Time-lapse from July 8-9, 2024 youtu.be/c7xQaP_fNc8

Looking forward to a week of cross-disciplinary lectures at the #RED24 astrobiology course in Le Teich, France

Happy #InternationalPolarBearDay!

Thrilled to have had the opportunity to present my poster at #PAM2022 @GFZ_Potsdam and to meet so many great people working on really exciting projects

A great day for a ski at the summit of the Greenland ice sheet. 72°35'N, 3210 m

I recently biked past what must be a candidate for the world's largest left-handed representation of DNA. Zittau, Germany @LHDNAHulk
