Proud of our work and happy that it is finally published!😀A huge microbial diversity in ancient sediments of Laguna Lejía, a lake in the Chilean Altiplano🧬. Great collaboration with @ProbstLab! Thanks to @C_Astrobiologia, @IMDEA_Agua, @unidue, @kieluni! link.springer.com/article/10.118…

Check out this interesting article about fatty acid synthesis in archaea - does this bridge the lipid divide? cool stuff from the Siebers Lab @unidue

Had dinner at our place with another professor, 2 staff scientists & a science manager. Asked what they like most abt their job; answers: - researching whatever I want - doing exciting science - having a permanent job - my colleagues Freedom in academia’s amazing! Celebrate it!

Check out our community-driven roadmap on fair reuse of public seq data in microbiology. We are happy to have such amazing supporters in the Data Reuse Consortium. This is the first of many collaborative steps in making data reuse a fair part of science. @RESIST_CRC @dfg_public

Today I am striking together with my Nature editorial and production colleagues in London for better pay. Thanks for all your support so far, it means so much. If you feel able to, please consider signing this open letter: docs.google.com/document/d/1Th… #springernaturestrike

There are few hours left to contribute to this poll and to help determine new standards for data reuse of public sequencing data. It's only 5-10 minutes but I can mean a lot for the next generation of scientists! Here is the link to the survey shorturl.at/NOUW2

Bacteria can be pirates too... 🏴‍☠️ Let us introduce you to Captain Aureispira ⛵️ A bacterial pirate ship loaded with canons 💉 and grappling hooks 🪝🌴predating on other bacteria 🦠 Check the preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #predation #T6SS #T9SS #cryoEM #cryoET #teamtomo 🧵1/6

We’re nearing the finishing line for our survey!! If you work on #metagenomics or other #omics please fill our 5min survey and then pass it on to colleagues & colaborators!! Here is our survey: shorturl.at/NOUW2 Please fill it until the 31st January!

Unmissable bi-annual conference for the #Archaea community and beyond! Plus, it's in #Paris 😊 Go&register!! meetings.embo.org/event/24-archa…
