A graduate student working on methane being on fire doesn't sound like a good thing to me. I hope he's fine.
Holly Bik@hollybik.bsky.social · last wk.My grad student Min Khant Han @baldbiologist.bsky.social is on fire lately with his #scicomm work from a methane seep expedition with the Joye lab! (And we are all impressed that his Instagram reel of an amphipod doing 6-7 arms got 500k views 😂😂😂）

Bik lab postdoc Alejandro De Santiago just gave a fantastic talk on phylogenetically divergent MAGs we recover from nematode holobionts, in the Tree Of Life session at #ISME20! Preprints here (meioBIOME software pipeline + nematode MAGs research paper): www.biklab.org/publications
My lab is HIRING - we have an opening for a #postdoc focused on marine invertebrate symbioses & evolution (heavy focus on microbial -Omics and bioinformatics, but lots of fun fieldwork opportunities too!) Full position info here: www.biklab.org/join-the-lab Please help spread the word! #SymbioSky
Giant tube worms are bizzare! #gianttubeworm #marinebiology

Best part about living in a college town is cheap monitors/stuff when people leave! Curved monitor is $60 and the other one is free👌🏽🙏

We have buckets of hydrothermal vent snails after our first ROV dive! These are cuties are Alviniconcha spp., who have endosymbiotic bacteria in their gills and can withstand balmier deep-sea temperatures (5-33 degrees C) near vents #SnailsRising #NSFfunded en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alvinic...

Weekend of many firsts! My first conference as a PhD student and my first oral presentation ever. Thank you Georgia Tech for hosing the 2026 Southeastern Biogeochemistry Symposium!
Hi Folks, How are yall utilizing AI to further your research? (Code help? Writing help?) What are the common pitfalls you are avoiding? AI usage is a slippery slope BUT AI is here to stay so I want to incorporate it into my workflow. Humans should be pushing boundaries of science not AI.
INTERESTED IN THE NEW GRFP? On Thursday, October 16th, 2025, 1 – 2pm ET, special #NSF BIO Directorate Virtual Office Hour (VOH) on the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program #GRFP. Attendees should submit questions ahead of the VOH. Register and submit questions at nsf.zoomgov.com/webinar/regi...

Week 1 of MBL Symbiosis Course recap! I had the privilege to work with amazing scientists and mentors @prhsteinmetz.bsky.social @ktgarschall.bsky.social. Learned awesome microscopy techniques that I will incorporate into my PhD thesis. We miss y’all, Patrick and Kathrin. Hope to see you both soon!
Communicating science IRL! I was at a wedding in a swamp in Louisiana. Found a couple apple snails and its eggs. Communicated to this grandpa about the invasive apple snails and how detrimental invasive species are for the environment.
