Very proud to announce that I successfully defended my PhD last week!

Very happy that the second paper from my PhD is now available! We dove into one family of Verrucomicrobiota to evaluate their adaptations to different environments, focusing on the animal associated and aquatic groups. Check it out!

What a beautiful city for the #SAME18 to be held! I’m excited to hear and see some great science and learn about what’s new in aquatic microbial ecology 🌊 @same18-bcn.bsky.social

#February11 is the International Day of Women and 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 marine science! 👩‍🔬💡 #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM @maxplanck.de

Very happy to share that the first manuscript of my PhD with @cotoorellana.bsky.social in #MolEcol @mpimarinemicrobio.bsky.social is published! We characterise a family of Verrucomicrobiota in the context of spring blooms, revealing their specialisation in potential complex glycan degradation
