🐚 Fresh from Elba! PhD student Kristina brought back lucinid clams for our research on symbiosis & sulfur cycling. They’ll also support hands-on teaching in marine biology. 🌊🔬 #MarineBiology #LucinidClams #FromFieldToLab #ElbaIsland #ScienceEducation

I am honored and excited that our research on #nitrogenases and the conversion of #CO2 to hydrocarbons is highlighted in the Yearbook 2024 of the Max Planck Society, see page 29. An English and a German version of the Yearbook are available mpg.de/13631298/yearb….

A must read for anybody interested in the evolution of life and how to construct phylogenies using structures .Outstanding work by @KaHochberg and co-workers. Congrats!

We were thrilled to welcome Cornelia Welte as our second keynote speaker at the Euro C1 Conference. Her talk “Challenging Methanotrophy: Carbon Monoxide Metabolism in Anaerobic Methanotrophic Archaea” shed light on surprising new aspects of archaeal carbon cycling. #EuroC1 #MPI

Kicking off the scientific program with our first keynote speaker! Ulisse Cardini opened the EuroC1 Conference with a fascinating talk on “Seagrass meadows as climate regulators”. A great start to an exciting lineup of talks! #EuroC1 #MarineScience #Seagrass @MarineMicrobio

Getting ready for our #EuroC1 Meeting tomorrow at the @MarineMicrobio. Supported by #EmmyNoether from @dfg_public, @VAAM_Microbes and @FEMSmicro

Just 2 days to go until we can welcome the participants of the EuroC1 Meeting 2025 here in #Bremen. Young &established researchers will present findings & engage in insightful discussions on #C1 #metabolism and volatile #organic compound-related topics. mpi-bremen.de/EuroC1-Sympo...

You know you have the best colleagues when they drop you a care package when you are sick at home. ☺️

#February11 – International Day of Women & Girls in Science. At our institute, we are proud to have women at all career stages, from student to director. Their work and dedication lead the way for future generations of women in #marinescience! 👩‍🔬💡 #WomenInSTEM @maxplanckpress

Register now for the EuroC1 Meeting 2025, taking place on May 7/8 in #Bremen. Young and established researchers will present findings & engage in insightful discussions on #C1 metabolism and volatile organic compound-related topics. Register by March 31 mpi-bremen.de/EuroC1-Symposi…

Please retweet! - I am starting a new lab @WarwickLifeSci from January 2025. Find potential PhD opportunities on @FindAPhD: findaphd.com/phds/projectde…, findaphd.com/phds/projectde… or findaphd.com/phds/projectde…. Interested candidates should apply via NERC CENTA centa.ac.uk/apply.

many congregations to @MichiAMausz who starts her own lab this month.

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to put pressure on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research
