Lab's first preprint! #newPI We show that viruses are not merely passive hitchhikers but active agents that recycle carbon fixed by productive chemoautotrophs, shaping our understanding of carbon and nutrient cycling in redox-active ecosystems. @JulesDeep @gtrubl @tampabayleigh

NJ peeps! This is your chance to adopt your very own Crouton! Look at those ears
Can we get some love for this sweet old man, Crouton. Heโs 12 years old and looking for a loving home with a comfy bed next to a window where he can watch the world go by. ๐ Blackwood, NJ
Interested in RNA virus discovery? You can still register for the RdRp summit and attend remotely! We'll have some really nice talks and cutting edge discussions on best practices and new directions in the field. rdrp.io
EXCITING NEWS๐ฅณ! @ISME_microbes is now sponsoring 3 travels grants worth EUR 500 each to support early career researchers presenting at the #RdRpSummit2025. Abstract submissions & registrations are still open!โ๏ธ More info at RdRp.io
Our paper is finally out and is open access! Phosphate amendment drives bloom of RNA viruses after soil wet-up. sciencedirect.com/science/articlโฆ @SieraVirus @Livermore_Lab
The abstract submission & registration for #RdRpSummit2025 is NOW OPEN!!! ๐๐ Do you work on RNA virus discovery using RdRps? Are you joining the @EVirusBioinfC #ViBioM2025 in Portugal? Consider submitting your research in one of our sessions! More info: RdRp.io
A beautiful initiative: crowdfunding to purchase and protect biodiversity hotspots worldwide via local NGOs. I'm so in! this-is-my-earth.org
Be there or be square !
The second RdRp Summit will take place at Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical (IHMT NOVA) in Lisbon Portugal on 11th & 12th May 2025! Abstract and registration details coming this week! #RdRpSummit2025 #ViBioM2025
Definitely saw this in Mediterranean grassland. biorxiv.org/content/10.110โฆ
Fungi and isotopes alert! Great paper to start off the new year. nature.com/articles/s4146โฆ
#PhD #position #phage please repost! Recruiting a PhD student!
Interested in discovering new viruses from soil that may be affecting global carbon sequestration? Apply for a PhD position with me at Aarhus University in Flakkebjerg! Our group is very international, supportive and friendly. phd.tech.au.dk/for-applicantsโฆ
Cool! SAR11 phylogenomics and so many new (almost) complete genomes! Wish I could see the sup info for how 16S compares between them. Guess I'll have to be patient... biorxiv.org/content/10.110โฆ

SIP friends: does anyone have experience with Eppendorf (formerly Koki) himac ultracentrifuges? I'm considering buying the CP80NX but only have personal experience with Beckman and Sorval.

Great news! Two of my research projects got the funding. Two new openings (1 PhD and 1 Post doc) will be advertised in early 2025 and if you are interested in soil biogeochemistry and nutrient cycling in arid ecosystems, reach out. @AcademicAg @AcademicChatter
Our department is hiring a tenure track/associate professor in plant diseases! I'm not in this specific section but feel free to reach out with general questions. I love it here. agro.au.dk/aktuelt/ledigeโฆ
Cool to see new tools focusing on harder to identify viruses. Looking forward giving BEREN a shot! Will Luthien be next? BEREN: A bioinformatic tool for recovering Giant viruses, Polinton-like Viruses, and Virophages in metagenomic data biorxiv.org/content/10.110โฆ
I may lose followers for this post. I don't care. It's been a whole year and 101 Israelis are still held hostage in Gaza. Only a couple of weeks ago 6 of them were executed so they wouldn't be rescued. They were emaciated. This can't go on. Bring them all back now.
