Not a legend, neither a fairy tale. We are well aware that we pay for Ukraine. A lot more than Hungary, both in absolute and relative terms. It is a deliberate choice. It is a choice to do the right thing.

@isme-microbes.bsky.social offers a great opportunity to publish uncultured microbes via #SeqCode using #genomes as type material. A fantastic step toward embracing the true diversity of microbes! But isolates are also welcome 🧫🔬🦠😁 @seqcode.bsky.social

So happy this is finally out! We reconstructed the 1st large-scale spatiotemporal dataset of 600+ MAGs from San Francisco Bay and show they have functional redundancy in key N and S pathways. These functions may better recover from disturbance in this highly urban estuary 💧

🪸 Wei et al recently published a beautiful hologenome study of a deep-sea black coral, revealing the intricate metabolic interactions that underpin the intertwined lives of these animals and their microbial symbionts. Here the study published in Cell Host & Microbe 👇🏻 www.cell.com/cell-host-mi...

Now out in @asm.org #mSystems! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/... Congratulations to Robert and thanks to all collaborators. See thread below for a summary of the work, exploring the use of cross-species coexpression analyses to predict primary and secondary metabolic interactions in microbiomes.

Our contribution to this paper from the Piel group is that we discovered a sister genus to Enthotheonella: Proxinella, also biosynthetically rich

I just got an email from a former mentee telling me that one dinner conversation changed how he writes papers♥️ I told him: “just write the paper, get it out—the next one will be better, and the next even better.” Perfectionism is a trap (and a way to procrastinate...:))

Hey @vuelingcare.bsky.social, where is the care? I've booked a flight with you, you accept it. Then change it to a much worse flight option, but allow to be reimbursed, and then I receive a 'no-reply email' stating that you will reimburse me 0.00 euro within 30 days.... and no way to reach anyone...
