🚨🧵Out now in @ISMEJournal! We find abundant corallicolid sequences within bearded fireworms across reefs and years in Curaçao 🇨🇼! 🪱🪸 This is the first report of corallicolids inside a non-anthozoan host! academic.oup.com/ismej/advance-… #Protists #Corals
We are glad to announce that #MidweekMicrobe is back! Today we are celebrating the International Children's Book Day coinciding with Hans Christian Andersen's birthday. A creative mind, Hans published the tale The Drop of Water in 1847, available at andersen.sdu.dk/vaerk/hersholt….

Going into the severe weather and hurricane season, this cannot be good. The Commerce Department has laid off hundreds of NOAA employees, many with specialized skills who work at one of the world's top climate science and weather forecasting agencies. Why it matters: The…
I never thought I’d be in this position, but I was unexpectedly terminated from my job as an NWS meteorologist. This isn’t just about me—this impacts the future of weather forecasting. #NWS #NOAA
Probationary employees across @NOAA and the @NWS are being terminated today, including those in mission-essential roles. My own wife is among them, essential to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center's 24/7 critical mission of seismic monitoring and tsunami prediction to protect the…
