here is @VivianeCordovez.bsky.social from @niooknaw.bsky.social speaking on the biosynthetic potential of yeasts, including FungiSmash analysis. Part of the work was done by young doctor Linda Gouka (still catching cereal killers 🙂). Lab of Jos Raaijmakers.

@lindagouka.bsky.social. and @vivianecordovez.bsky.social catching cereal killers 😀

#PMS2025 is a great occasion for many members of the MicroSOS consortium to meet and discuss about the project’s current and future activities!

Congratulations to Dr. Gouka 🎉 Last week @lindagouka.bsky.social successfully defended her PhD thesis and has been nominated for the Jan Ritzema Bos prize awarded by the Royal Netherlands Society of Plant Pathology. Linda will continue catching cereal killers as a postdoc in the Cordovez Group👩🏻‍🔬🌾

Let's do this 💪

🚨 Open position We are hiring a PhD student to investigate the ecology and genomics of phyllosphere yeasts combining lab experiments with computational approaches. Joins us at @niooknaw.bsky.social in collaboration with @micropresearch.bsky.social @cmelkonian.bsky.social @marnixmedema.bsky.social

Announcing 2 more Keynote Speakers for #PMS2025! 🍄 @vivianecordovez.bsky.social – @niooknaw.bsky.social 🌍 Juan Esteban Pérez-Jaramillo – University of Antioquia 📅 Abstract submission is open: 6thplantmicrobiomesymposium2025.com #PlantMicrobiome #MicrobiomeResearch #PMS2025

Super proud of you! Looking forward to the defense and celebrations👩‍🎓🥂

We continue to build the Plant Microbiome Starter Pack. Please let us know if you or others are missing! go.bsky.app/QG4wCyf

how it started vs how it is going 🎑 looking forward to our field trial in Denmark, built on the very nice results from Linda's PhD project @lindagouka.bsky.social @niooknaw.bsky.social #phyllosphereyeasts #fusariumgraminearum
