My day is made. Someone threw a hot dog into my lecture. Every year I talk about microbes that survive on dissolved organic matter and how it just diffuses to them and how that would be like me living off of the hot dogs that float into my room. It took 10 years but one finally did!!! 🤣

"A/Prof Rebecca Case from SBS, NTU said she hopes that the centre of excellence will encompass the important role that microbes play in the ecosystem. ... We have the highest diversity per area in the world; we have monsoons rather than seasons, and our equatorial location uniquely places us"

Public service announcement: Please stop with all the adaptationism. Issue 1: some beneficial traits arise through forces other than natural selection (i.e. they aren't results of adaptation). Issue 2: many seemingly beneficial traits are not beneficial at all (i.e., they don't increase fitness).

Our new article on circularised economy is out! Applied research is new for me, but the chance to collaborate with SCELSE's water engineers caught my interest. How little salt do they need to make omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids? A lot less than I thought!
