Registration is now OPEN! Join us for the Inaugural Central New York ASM Branch Meeting: Culturing Connections at SUNY ESF on October 16! Register today: tinyurl.com/CNYASM #ASM #Microbiology #CultivatingConnections #CNYASM #SUNYESF #ScienceCommunity #Networking #STEM

Dear microbiome enthusiasts: I'm excited to be moving my lab to New York University this fall (& the NYU Institute for Engineering Health); with joint-appointment @isbscience.org I'm hiring a postdoc @ NYU to look at diet-driven evolution in the gut: apply.interfolio.com/189980 Please share! 🦠🤓

And here's a second NYU postdoc job ad, where I'm looking for a candidate that is interested in working on the gut-brain axis: apply.interfolio.com/189975 please share 🙏

Check out our exciting list of invited speakers for our fall branch meeting (Oct 16 in Syracuse, NY)! sites.google.com/view/cnyasm/... Stay tuned for registration information coming soon!

Microbiology professors/PIs, would you like to join the microPI slack? Microbiology is defined broadly. This is an open tent. Professor/PI is inclusive to teaching focused roles, or pure research PI roles like a National lab PI. Reply or DM me and I will send you a link.

I’m really curious about which of my papers suggested an interest in penguin guano

If any folks are at Goldschmidt, I’m giving a talk on some of our recent work tomorrow (Tuesday) morning!

It's Tuesday! Time for a new episode of #MattersMicrobial! This time, Dr. Hannah Reich joins the #QualityQuorum to discuss phycosymbiosis: how bacteria and algae interact! This was recorded at ASM Microbe. @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology youtu.be/f6irLu3BWg0?...

It’s out! There are so many fun back stories with this project’s origin story & how it reshaped my career trajectory. For now, plz welcome my lab’s culture collection of #Symbiodiniaceae associated bacteria! & the many siderophores they produce! 🧪 doi.org/10.1093/fems...

Widespread siderophore production among Symbiodiniaceae-associated bacteria

Abstract. Nutritional exchanges fuel the evolutionary and ecological dominance of multi-partner symbioses among reef-building corals and microbial associat

And that’s a wrap on another fabulous #ASMicrobe! However, what makes the conference so special is really the COMMUNITY!

This was a choice

Goff Lab posters are out at #ASMicrobe today! At 12:30 in the Health area, Isaac presents a poster on microplastic microbiomes (#287). At 3, Linda and Khulan will share how we have been studying tellurium speciation in microbial cultures in the AEM area (#629).

T minus ~75 minutes until @markowenmartin.bsky.social & I ate live with the #MattersMicrobial podcast in the ASM studio in the poster hall. Come listen to me yap about #PhycoSymbiosis & stay for some stickers. #ASMicrobe @asm.org @cnyasm.bsky.social

I need to restock my #sciart presents for graduating students (undergrads and grad students). Drop a link to your favorite science-themed artists website/etsy/redbubble page below. (microbiology focus is a bonus)

Did you know that thermophilic amoeba have been isolated by researchers at Syracuse University from a steam vent at SUNY ESF? artsandsciences.syracuse.edu/biology/news... You can visit this geyser of the built environment when you come to our first fall meeting, held at SUNY ESF this year!

Let's Streisand-effect these people. Here's the editorial that somehow merited calling the cops. Read and share.

Misguided Brushes of a Pen Continue to Dismantle and Destroy Biomedical Research in the United States: We Can No Longer Afford Complacency and Fear. We Must All Act Now!

The opinions expressed in this editorial are the personal views of the authors (S.E. Kahn, C.A.M. Anderson, J.B. Buse, and E. Selvin) and do not represent

Remember the current NIH director going on about protecting researchers from government censorship? Today his people called the police in to forcibly remove my colleagues from their own society meeting for sharing an editorial published in their flagship journal that was critical of him. Gift link

My cat has the cutest mittens! However, while at #ASMicrobe, I visited a poster about the cat paw microbiome where they isolated a number of human pathogens from kitty feets 🫪

Happy Caturday! This is Georgie, one of our our president’s cats. Did you know that CNY ASM has a pet feature section in our quarterly newsletter? If you are a member, check your email to see how to submit! Did you also know that our fall meeting is on National Feral Cat Day?

Attending my first ASM as a PhD student, I went to this cool talk by an assistant professor who was starting up a new project on the concrete microbiome! ~ 10 years later, @micromaresca.bsky.social and I now work together and her concrete work has grown so much!! Check it out tonight at #ASMicrobe!

Science, public health, & infectious disease work are under attack & ASM chose to remove microbiology from their name. Would love to know the consulting fees for this redesign & how the $$ could have been used to support members (small conference grant program, travel awards, fellowships, etc.).

Since 1899, we’ve been known as the American Society for Microbiology, or ASM. We will now be known simply as ASM. We’re introducing a new brand identity that better reflects who we are, where we are headed and what drives us. Explore now: asm.social/2XF ASM. Microbes Make Our World.

SPONGES ARE AMAZING

CNY ASM@cnyasm.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Did you know that you can find freshwater sponges throughout Central New York? Researchers at SUNY ESF have discovered that these sponges harbor antimicrobial-producing bacteria! Learn more exciting CNY microbiology facts at the CNY ASM fall meeting!! #MicroSky

On LinkedIn, I noticed that the artist formerly known as the American Society for Microbiology didn’t switch to just “ASM”. But then I considered that maybe they’re trying to not be lost among all the other ASMs.

Packed my sticker stash for #ASMicrobe! Come say hi! I have ~20 of the Phyco (🐆), lab flask & acorn stickers. Low stock of Microbe Girlie Funland (MgFl, ~5). @asm.org

Bring back this logo actually

Jennifer Goff, PhD@jlgoff.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Can we start a protest about the new ASM logo and get the old one back?
