Last weekend, VOLT joined the #Fungi Festival🍄🍄‍🟫. Visitors go to hear a talk on hidden #fungaldiversity in #caves, and explored a collaborative booth. Here they could peek at fungal cultures under a microscope 🔬, watch a short film highlighting the research, and learn about cave fungi and #VOCs.

Looking for something fun and interesting to do in the #weekend in #copenhagen? Come to the #fungi #festival and listen to @voltcenter.bsky.social's @kajsaroslund.bsky.social's talk together with @kbodawatta.bsky.social on cave microbes and explore unique-looking fungi @ our stall! shorturl.at/22mEG

We just received a "postcard" from #Barcelona! @voltcenter.bsky.social's postdoc Cecilia Costas Selas and PhD student Eve Galen are attending the #SAME18 #aquatic #microbes #conference. Enjoy the sunshine and the talks, posters and discussions!

Pitched at #FallingWallsLab last week 🌍✨ Didn’t win, but left inspired, with new connections, and excited to keep sharing the hidden world of microbes. Next step: #ArcticBear_game 🎲 — a board game to show how microbes help protect our planet. #uArctic_project

📸 Last chance! The deadline to enter the 2025 Photo Competition is TOMORROW! 👉https://dg.dk/en/dnrf-photo-competition-2025/

Really enjoyed the annual @voltcenter.bsky.social retreat with great colleagues - two days of science, creativity, and connection. Great energy to carry into the rest of the academic year!

Every year on week 37 @voltcenter.bsky.social goes away for two days of science, fun, inspiration and team building. Here are some of the many highlights in thread:

Sometimes science is field work, sometimes it is lab work, computer work, discussions, presentations... and sometimes it is executing plan B and driving a highly sensitive and sophisticated scientific instrument across four countries and over 1500 kilometers! www.ionicon.com/blog/2025/a-...

Our summer fieldwork has started to take shape in the lab! ⛰️🔬 Today’s lunch meeting featured talks on ongoing projects and experiments surrounding #moss and #isoprene, and discussions on the next steps ahead.

It apPEARs more exPEARiments are needed. The PEARameters are imPEARcise, and it is imPEARative to PEARform PEAR-wise comPEARisons.

❗Job altert!❗ @voltcenter.bsky.social is #hiring a #LabManager /Lab specialist. Are you familiar with PTR-TOF-MS and GC-MS? You'll coordinate lab&field activities, QC&calibration, solve problems, assist with tech installations, and provide tech support to researchers employment.ku.dk/all-vacancie...

📣New paper📣 We measured #VOC & #CO2 fluxes from 3 ponds in a peatland forest using floating chambers. Understanding of freshwater ecosystems as VOC sources is poor, so this work led by Y. Qin, published in #ASLO_LO provides important new data. doi.org/10.1002/lno.... @dg.dk @voltcenter.bsky.social

Net #emission of #atmospheric volatile organic compounds ( #VOCs) from #ponds in a #peatland #forest by @voltcenter.bsky.social's former MSc student Yinghuan Qin is out now! doi.org/10.1002/lno....

Monday mornings are for breakfast journal clubs. 😋🤓 At @voltcenter.bsky.social we started the week with a discussion on #microbial #ecological strategies, led by postdoc Jonathan Donhauser.

#DHLrace day! The @voltcenter.bsky.social team is ready and in high spirits. Bring on those 25k per team! 🏃‍♀️🏃💨💪

Clean-up day at BIO!🧹 VOLT members came together to organize and clean our shared spaces 💻🔬🧪. With teamwork, enthusiasm (and cake!), we now have refreshed workspaces to support our projects.

Today we welcomed Professor Sándor Gonda from the University of Debrecen, for a guest talk on plant-microbe interactions at the plant metabolome level in horseradish. He shared interesting insights on a species that most of us had never studied before! 🌱

We are now (mostly) all done with holiday and field work, and we kick off being back in the office with a breakfast journal club hosted by postdoc Mehrshad Foroughan on new insights in #climate #science. How is your lab coming back into the swing of things?

Another late night in the lab… and between sampling points I made this inspired by my #Sphagnum #moss floating in my vials #uArctic_project #scienceart #midnightart @voltcenter.bsky.social

This is my first time using a #PTR-TOF to track isoprene consumption over time… huge thanks to @voltcenter.bsky.social! 🤓 In the previous image, the black peaks represent #12C isoprene and the red ones show #13C isoprene. Concentrations are around 5–10 ppmv. 🏔️ spectra using 95% labelled 13C-isoprene

Meet Mehrshad, a PostDoc at VOLT researching #VOC exchanges between the #ocean and the #atmosphere 🌊☁️. Using high-frequency measurements from a remote field site, he focuses on understanding how various physical and biological factors affect these exchanges.

Interested in deciphering how #moss and #cyanobacteria interact with each other? Want to come to #Copenhagen? Join us for a postdoc! candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationI... @voltcenter.bsky.social

Just wrapped a whirlwind 5-day trip at Abisko! Amazing weather, smooth sampling at 🌿Stordalen, 🍂 Multe & 💧Vassijaure, and ended with a Tundra Talk 💬 Grateful for the dream team: Jing, Ida & esp. Jonathan from @voltcenter.bsky.social ! 📸🧪💚 #Fieldwork #ArcticVibes #uArctic_project 🇨🇴🇬🇧🇩🇪🇩🇰🇨🇳🇪🇸

Here we are, just 2 postdocs searching for Arctic moss and shrub samples… 🍃 🌳 🌱 for the #uArctic_project! The sampling day has begun and it’s a great pleasure to have such an excellent sampling companion Jonathan Donhauser from @voltcenter.bsky.social!
