Please check out our recent preprint from @ace-uq.bsky.social researcher’s @stevenjrobbins.bsky.social, @xrefugee13.bsky.social, and former ACEr @pam-engelberts.bsky.social on their work generating the Great Barrier Reef Microbial Genomes Database (GBR-MGD).

🦠 The first JAMs event of 2025 is happening on Feb 19th at The Burrow. Don’t miss out! #JAMs2025 #microbiologyseminars

Hi all, come join us for the first JAMS of the year! And please share @brisjams.bsky.social stuff around so we can rebuild our following on BlueSky. We’re new here and the intent is to shut off our Twitter account.

Please check out AIMS and ACE researchers @markoterzin.bsky.social and @stevenjrobbins.bsky.social’s new manuscript in Microbiome identifying potential bioindicators of reef health!

Hi all! Please check out @markoterzin.bsky.social's new paper in Microbiome investigating the relative reliability of taxonomy vs metagenomic gene predictions as bioindicators of 17 physicochemical variables (temp, nitrogen, etc) on the Great Barrier Reef. Spoiler: genes > taxonomy. Link below.

Hey all! If you’re a Brisbane based microbiologist that’s interested in catching up with other microbiologists every few months over a beer, good food, and cool science, please follow @brisjams.bsky.social’s new Bluesky page to stay up to date.

I created a long-read sequencing starter pack. I'm still finding people on here, so apologies if I missed you. Please suggest people who should be added and I'll add them! go.bsky.app/JGkefsJ

It's all built to this...the starter pack of starter packs...😂 One Pack to rule them all, One Pack to find them, One Pack to bring them all and in the Blueness bind them.

Hi everyone, I tried assembling a Microbiome & friends starter pack. 🦠🧫🔬 Still learning to use bluesky and might have missed you, let me know if you would like to be included. go.bsky.app/Fq36egy

Wow, Bluesky really took off in the last couple of days! The first microbiome starter pack is full now and I started a second one with non-overlapping profiles. Check out these people below and please let me know if you would like to be included! go.bsky.app/6vPBEty

Love this idea for helping the community make the transition to Bluesky, so I’ve compiled a woefully incomplete list of microbial ecologists and -omics peeps I know are here. Please make suggestions and share. Let me know if you’d like to be added. go.bsky.app/TQpaTqF
