I had a lot of fun helping to organize VOLT's annual retreat. Great science, fun workshops and interesting talks. I'm so happy my escape rooms worked so well! And karaoke was insane! Thank you, @voltcenter.bsky.social! It was really amazing! 🧪

Using #cyanobacteria in #architecture to build structures that produce oxygen and sequester carbon in urban environments? That's an amazing concept! www.archdaily.com/1030729/desi... 🦠🧪🌍

There indeed is a lot of papers on microbial defense/anti-defense systems coming out that were run under conditions that are so foreign that they leave you wondering if that's really how they work. We do need to test these systems more! 🧪🦠🔬

Very interesting review estimating that cyanobacteria were already prepared for aerobic metabolism before oxygenating the global atmosphere! 🦠🌍💨🧪

www.bbc.com/news/article... 🧪 Wow, so now we're "deforesting to save the climate"? And they have the nerve to call it "Liberty Avenue"? This is unbelievable.

And they're still increasing their emissions. This is absolutely insane. 🧪 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Reminder: We have a Bluesky Starter Pack of researchers working in cyanobacteria. If you would like to be included, respond to this message. Please repost to spread the news.

📢PhD Vacancy📢: Fully funded PhD fellowship in #peatland #VOC #biogeochemistry at Copenhagen University! This position is part of my Villum young investigator grant, co-supervised with @riikkarinnan.bsky.social, and hosted by the @voltcenter.bsky.social. ➡️https://employment.ku.dk/phd/?show=163573⬅️

Wow, they found fungal hyphae inside the sheaths of nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria! Usually with these types of symbiosis it's the other way around, with bacteria growing inside their host. This is supercool!🧪 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Welcome to Copenhagen to the 1st International Symposium on Volatile Interactions in Ecosystems! #biogeochemistry, #chemicalecology #ecosystem-atmosphereinteractions #VOCs #volatilome Deadline for abstracts is Feb 24. eventsignup.ku.dk/voltsymposiu... May 21-23 is a lovely time to visit Copenhagen

Have you ever seen bacteria dance?

A fan of #Bryophytes? You are (almost) not alone! #Bryophytes rule...they can grow almost anywhere, host a fascinating world of #microbes (incl. #nitrogen-fixing #Cyanobacteria), are key in #biogeochemistry, and hold huge potential for #biotechnology. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It does feel so much nicer here in BlueSky than Twitter. I'm glad I migrated as well!

Post-Doc position for 3 years available jointly between University of Tartu (Estonia) and University of Aarhus (Denmark) on soil microbiome and biogeography. Skills required: bioinformatics, metagenome analysis, microbiology Contact: [email protected]

Welcome @mingyueyuan.bsky.social to the #CyanoMoss team! The transition from #Soil to #Moss scientist has begun! Stay tuned for news on #MossCyano Symbiosis - who controls it and how?

🌍 Mega-droughts are becoming more frequent and intense globally. Our study in Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... shows that multi-year droughts have significantly increased over the last 40 years with severe impacts @wslresearch.bsky.social @wsl-dme.bsky.social @extremeswsl.bsky.social (1/7) 🧵
