Dissemination Artwork: Cross Section at Junction. Bringing together art and research is incredibly rewarding. We are privileged to have this beautiful piece on display. Created by Matilda Tjelldén, the work is inspired by our research - and in turn, we are deeply inspired by Matilda's art.

Ctenophores possess a unique aboral organ that acts as a multisensory center, controlling complex behaviors. We’ve now created a ctenophore model integrated with our 3D volume EM data. Puts it into perspective. Check out our recent work here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #ctenophores #volumeEM

New preprint from the @pawelburkhardt.bsky.social lab 🤩 @annaferraioli.bsky.social & colleagues created a 3D model of the ctenophore apical organ, revealing cell-type diversity and exciting new insights into the evolution of central nervous systems 🧠🧪 Congratulations to the team! 👏

Exciting news from the Royal Society Publishing: our journals will be fully open access in 2026 as we move to adopt the 'Subscribe to Open' model:

After 5 amazing years @pilhoferlab.bsky.social I'm starting my lab @embl.org Grenoble this November embl.org/wollweber We'll image Asgard archaea and many other strange microbes ( #archaeasky, #protistsonsky..) to understand eukaryogenesis First job ad: #teamtomo scientist!🔬❄️ tinyurl.com/2rdu2ze6

Our latest paper is out now in @jacs.acspublications.org . In this study we tried to push the limits of #electrochemistry beyond proteins, to studying entire pathways of biological electron transfer ⚡️🦠. Here's a summary 🧵 (1/10) pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Recent research has highlighted the ability of some microbes to simultaneously respire aerobically and anaerobically, a flexible strategy that reshapes our understanding of microbial metabolism. In my latest article for @asm.org , I explore this phenomenon. Link: asm.org/articles/202...

After an interesting and very exciting journey with my friends, we showed that this little guy (Microbacterium deferred A1-JK) not only produces electricity but also does it while breathing oxygen and uses a cross-Gram (Gram- &Gram+ genes combined) hybrid mechanism to do this ⚡🦠.

If you are interested in reading the "Behind the paper"story of how we discovered this electroactive microbe and simultaneous aerobic-anaerobic respiration, have a look at our blog post in the Nature Research Communities here: communities.springernature.com/posts/simult...

Please apply if you are interested in environmental microbiology topics such as microbial dark oxygen production and methane cycling under oxygen depletion.

Thrilled to share our latest work on simultaneous aerobic-anaerobic metabolism enabled by extracellular electron transfer. The microbe in focus, Microbacterium deferre A1-JK, was isolated from the oxic-anoxic sediment interface. Link: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
