I’m really excited to share our new synthesis of 2,396 (!) multiple-stressor experiments conducted in freshwater ecosystems that’s just been published in @Ecology_Letters: doi.org/10.1111/ele.14…
Thrilled to share that the first article from my MSc thesis research has been published in Chemosphere! Using a mesocosm experiment, I explored how microplastics impact lake ecosystems. For the next month, you can access the full article for free here: kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2…

Thinking about doing a postdoc? Wondering what we do all day?? @chris_zie @sofiavanmoorsel and I tracked over 19 months (!) of work & compared it to our junior postdoc data from 6 yrs ago - check out our article! #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #phdchat elisagranato.com/days-in-the-li…
Happy to share my personal website. I built it this summer and wrote about the process, including how the challenges I faced relate to common hurdles in research. Check it out ismael-lajaaiti.github.io/posts/1_websit…
🚨 Only one day left! You can still register for our virtual annual conference at sortee.org/upcoming. #SORTEE2024
Super excited to have received @LeverhulmeTrust funding with @stefanako71 to explore how environmental DNA analysis can turbo-boost the reconstruction of aquatic food webs across habitat types and over multiple time scales. Watch this space for 2 x 3-year post doc opportunities.
To say this was a labour-of-love is an understatement - credit to @KatMarSci introducing 'QIMS - Quantifying the Impacts of Multiple Stressors - a new experimental platform for robust #multifactorial experiments in #benthic ecosystems' @TCD_NatSci aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
In this work we looked at the effect of specific antibiotic resistance mutations on the ability of Pseudomonas to invade bacteria from the respiratory microbiome 🦠 But how did we do this? 📢 A short methods explanation thread on our assay 🧵: academic.oup.com/evlett/advance… (1/10)
Check out the interactive dataset of 2396 multi-stressor experiments here: jamesaorr.shinyapps.io/freshwater-mul… Here’s a short video explainer for how to use it.
