Extraordinary keynote lecture by Prof. Chris Greening @greening.bsky.social about Microbial oxidation of atmospheric trace gases: from enzymes to ecosystems. #FEMS2025 @femsmicro.org

Tomorrow, 16th, we are all in for a real treat with the plenary by Chris Greening at #FEMS2025, see you there! #LoveMicrobiology

Thank you! I’m pleased that you found it helpful. I really enjoy working with early career researchers and those attending FEMS meetings for the first time. #FEMS2025

I’m happy to have given the introduction to today’s plenary speaker, Janet Jansson at #FEMS2025!

It’s all getting very exciting now as #fems2025 commences tomorrow! Milan is such a beautiful city too

I’ve arrived at #Milan and am ready for the #FEMS2025 Congress! I’m presenting a session Monday 14th, 15.30 for early career researchers.The focus - getting the most from the Congress, networking and the range of careers available after doctoral studies (based on my PhD students). See you there!

Online friends are real friends. @scopedbylarry.bsky.social and @lappinscott.bsky.social love you guys! #Microbe2025

It’s going to be a great session with @lappinscott.bsky.social @scopedbylarry.bsky.social @tallcuppajoe.bsky.social & @bionat.bsky.social #ASMicrobe

Join us for a great session with @tallcuppajoe.bsky.social @lappinscott.bsky.social @scopedbylarry.bsky.social @bionat.bsky.social

Excited to be at the session of @markowenmartin.bsky.social and the podcast recording! #ASMicrobe

Ready to listen to the legend, Rita Colwell!! Super excited #ASMicrobe

SO sad to miss this! 👋 from Alaska, looks like an anazing session. @tallcuppajoe.bsky.social @scopedbylarry.bsky.social @lappinscott.bsky.social

Safe travels, Hilary, I am looking forward to seeing you. And fellow attendees, if you can join our session Monday morning, here is the overview. Hope to see you.

I’m heading to #ASMicrobe in a few days time. I’m really excited to meet up with friends, hear some great science and join in a session with @scopedbylarry.bsky.social and @tallcuppajoe.bsky.social too!

This is a great initiative, looking forward to hearing more about it at #ASMicrobe next week!

Huge thanks to the amazing supporters of #ASMicrobe 2025! We appreciate your continued partnership and generous contributions. 👏 On behalf of ASM leadership and members—thank you! 🙌 Be sure to visit their booths in the South Hall at the L.A. Convention Center!

I am preparing my talk for early career scientists for the #FEMS2025 Congress - hope to see you there! I’m covering the careers/next steps of many of my research group to show career options available with a microbiology degree. It’s been such fun reconnecting with my group too!

Streptomyces coelicolor mutants over-producing the blue and red antibiotics actinorhodin and undecylprodigiosin. We work on the most beautiful bacteria. Strains made by Kelly, final year PhD student in the lab. #microsky #streptomyces

This week, we're at #MicroSoc25 in sunny Liverpool (UK)! @microbiologysociety.org‬ Don't forget to come by booth 24 to learn about FEMS MICRO Milan 2025 and enter our competition to win FREE registration! We also have some beautiful FEMS MICRO merch for attendees... femsmicro.org

I was happy to visit where #ISME all started. In 1977 a group of pioneering #Microbiologists #MicrobialEcologists including Kevin Marshall, Margaret Loutit, Marilyn Fletcher, Bill Costerton, Jim Tiedje and others got together for the first ever #ISME meeting. Now, nearly 50 years on #ISME is huge!

Happy to be in #Dunedin, the home of where a major conference was held by pioneering microbial ecologists in 1977. More about this later as I’m still recovering from a brutal park run! #ISME #microbiology #MicrobialEcology

A good day of meetings yesterday, planning the @femsmicro.bsky.social Congress in #Milan in the summer. It’s coming together nicely. Remember all, the deadline for abstracts is fast approaching!

A fabulous sunrise as we get ready for a long trip away, just for the fun of it 🥳!

Just registered for the ASM Microbe meeting in June, I’m already excited about it! Looking forward to meeting tweeps/bluesky folks there! #ASM

I’m really looking forward to attending Rosie Moriarty-Simmonds art exhibition tomorrow in #Cardiff. Rosie is a phenomenal activist for disability rights and an incredible mouth artist.

Lovely to see these snowdrops early this morning.

First run of 2025 done ✔️. It really helps to arrange to meet friends and get out for a run, I’m sure I wouldn’t get out otherwise!

Finland downgrades MDPI and Frontiers – will others follow suit? www.timeshighereducation.com/news/finland...

We did the Christmas park run today with friends. There was a huge turnout of 555 people, a course record 🥇! A great way to start the festivities …. Happy Christmas all!

Time to reflect a little. It’s 40 years (in the last week) since my PhD viva/defence and 25 years since I was awarded a Personal Chair. I’m thankful for all of the opportunities that I’ve had.

Happy Friday all!

Why we should publish in community journals: Self control of the publication process by the community. Support of our learned societies and federations. Income flows back to the community instead of shareholders' accounts.

Do you know any up and coming stars in #microbiology to nominate? Let’s get lots of nominations for this really prestigious #FEMS prize @femsmicro.bsky.social

I’m really starting to feel more at home now on @bsky.app. More of my ‘buddies’ have moved over and it’s now much easier to find relevant and interesting content. Also I’m meeting new people. Thanks @bsky.app !

Fantastic, I’m looking forward to this. I’ve been fascinated about the rhizosphere since my PhD days in that subject.

A really important editorial, worth a read.

Good morning and have a good week all.

Great to see that @ukbiofilms.bsky.social has joined @bsky.app! I’m hoping that more academic societies and research organisations also join.

That’s another #parkrun ticked off today, and in the midst of #StormBert too 😆. Think it’ll be the rest of the day indoors 🤔

In beautiful #Ludlow with a few microbiology friends. Saw this fantastic “hygienic fountain” right by the castle!

@doyleevelyn.bsky.social Hi Evelyn, good to see you on Bluesky!

Off to my old stomping ground at the University of Exeter today to meet up with fellow microbiologists. The plan is to prepare an abstract for an interactive session for the #FEMS2025 Congress in #Milan for early career microbiologists too. #ECR

A big welcome to fellow microbiologist Nigel Brown nigel-brown.bsky.social 👋.

Next summer at #ASMicrobe I’m convening the session titled “You can Do That?” to introduce folks to different jobs. I’m support for the session “No PhD? No Problem!” I hope you can attend, and check out @binningsingletons.com to help build your community!

Yup, I’ll be there and also speaking in the same session! Really looking forward to seeing lots of buddies there too #ASMicrobe
