Hyped about these glow in the dark #bacteriophage #earrings Thank you 🤩 @markowenmartin.bsky.social for these tasteful creations! #phageart

The #virome is not a #microbiome footnote. A new paper in 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 by @colinhillucc.bsky.social argues that #phage should sit within microbiome analysis, with roles in bacterial behaviour & gene flow. 📰 Read: buff.ly/DSMEzuu #Bacteriophages #GutMicrobiome #ScienceCommunication

Today is World Microbiome Day! Please enjoy these relevant cartoons I commissioned from the deeply talented Beatrice the Biologist. Explore the website for World Microbiome Day... worldmicrobiomeday.com Wishing you and your microbiome the very best.

Phage Pathways

A younger version of me never imagined she’d be standing on a stage talking about viruses in wastewater. Grateful for the opportunity to discuss how phage research can unlock new insights into microbial ecology. #ASM #PhageBiology #MicrobialEcology #EnvironmentalScience #WomenInSTEM

~1 billion times the distance from Earth to the Sun. That is approx the total length of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal hyphae in topsoils. These microscopic fungal networks form one of Earth’s circulatory systems moving carbon and nutrients. Out now in @science.org : lnkd.in/eKAsVN_Z

As always, we end our Bachelor's practical class with an agar art contest using the bright colis from @atinygreencell.bsky.social. As always, lots of beautiful images were created. Meet the winner, the Coli Cougar, our next year's class lab book cover.

Thank you for being part of ASM Microbe 2026! Save the date for ASM Microbe 2027, taking place June 22–25 in Chicago. Got big ideas? Session proposals open tomorrow—help shape next year’s program and push the microbial sciences forward. #ASMicrobe asm.social/2XY.

Talking about #viruses in #wastewater to a room full of #microbiologists? That’s my idea of fun. 😊 Great discussion today at #ASMMicrobe on phages and viral ecology across human water systems. If you’re attending the meeting, come by my ASM Studio Talk at 2 PM and let’s talk #phages!

Excited to be at #ASMMicrobe2026! If you’re here, let’s connect! I’ll be giving a talk in the micro session “Phage Discovery in Human Water Systems,” moderated by Lauren Sanders from Ceres Nanosciences, sharing work on #phages in #human #water systems. Supported by @departmentofenergy.bsky.social

I don't generally post about my own work, but if you are looking for a last minute present for the holidays for someone who might be interested in the ocean, my book seems to appeal not only to adults but also to even really little kids. All royalties go to the Smithsonian.

The Tonos lab headed to the field to kick-off a project examining the relationship between Malagasy fruit-eating #birds and fruiting #plants. They seek to understand these relationships in degraded and #protected areas, and how they may recover due to community-led #conservation efforts!

☀️🔥 Nothing says dedication like hauling wetland soil cores under the blazing sun! Huge shout-out to our postdoc Sona and lab tech Danica for braving the heat to bring back samples that hold secrets of microbial life and carbon cycling. 🌱🦠 #fieldwork #wetlands #phages

Still buzzing from Evergreen: head-to-head of wastewater phage detection methods. Curious what your lab sees. #Phage #Metagenomics #Cultivation #phagesky #microsky @sfstatebio.bsky.social @berkeleylab.lbl.gov

Summer in the field with the Boria Lab @SFSU 🌿 Students monitored small mammals across Bay Area habitats, from dunes near the Golden Gate to redwood forests. Hands-on training + real data for conservation science. #Fieldwork #Ecology #BoriaLab

Want to learn more about careers in engagement and knowledge exchange? The next instalment of the @earthsciencewomen.bsky.social Careers Beyond Academia series is going to be focused on these types of roles! 🙂 Open to all 🗓️ October 23 2025 ⏰ 1600 UTC Register: forms.gle/tq7pPp6s8n15... (1/2)

So excited to host my high school friend, now collaborator @arunsethuraman.bsky.social for a guest seminar in our DOE supported Phage Pathways event! Tune in to his talk here if you have a moment to learn about #hops #population #genetics #beerscience teams.microsoft.com/meet/2109667...

Today was special. My first master’s student successfully defended his thesis! Michael Hajkowski was the first student to ask to join my lab in Jan 2023 determined, and passionate. Now, he’s off to UC Riverside for a PhD! While we’ll miss him deeply, I couldn’t be prouder. @sfstatebio.bsky.social

Our very first thesis defense! Anand Lab is proud to support this milestone in environmental microbiology and public health. Friday, May 9 | 10 AM–12 PM | Thornton Hall (Blakeslee Room) + Zoom #AnandLab #ThesisDefense #OneHealth #AMR @sfstatebio.bsky.social @archanand.bsky.social #Metagenomics

He’ll discuss how programmable microbes and microbiota are transforming diagnostics, waste management & sustainable bioproduction. Apr 18, 10AM PT. Scan QR code to join! #SyntheticBiology #Microbiome #DOE #PhagePathways

Awesome Women of Color in Science Panel hosted by Black Excellence in #STEM @ #SFSU for today’s seminar! Who pivoted to stem cell research after 12 years in STEM education? Who was excited about forensics after a high school experience? Who was 16 yrs old viewing hanta virus in a microbiology lab?..

Congratulations to future @sfstatebio.bsky.social students attending #ExploreSFState today! Welcome to #SFSU!! Happy to highlight our microbiology labs, organismal bio labs, neuroscience labs, seawater core facility, human anatomy lab, and greenhouse!!
