#DreamTeam in beautiful Alaska, looking for #Moss and other inconspicuous creatures, but also happy to find conspicuous ones like cloudberries…

#Moss- associated #NitrogenFixation happens across the globe; #diazotrophs are adapted to their local climate; hydration is equally crucial across climates; and #NitrogenFixers are very efficient in #mediterranean habitats! Much more to discover here: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

Out and about again….part of the #cyanobacteria #Moss team on the road to…Alaska! We heard they have moss! Stay tuned!!

Mosses host diverse microbiomes that contribute to terrestrial N cycling through processes such as nitrogen (N) fixation. Thus, these microbial communities play important roles in nutrient-poor enviro...

#Biogeomon Krycklan catchment excursion- wonderfully planned and perfectly executed! We had it all, rain, delicious coffee for fika, boardwalks to keep our feet dry and beautiful soil profiles! Thank you!

..and if you want to hear about #NitrogenFixation and how it is affected by #NitrogenInputs, come and listen on Thursday at 10:10 in Stora Hörsalen!! #MossMicrobiomes #BIOGEOMON

#MossCyanobacteria interactions and #NitrogenFixation disentangled…need to go back to the basics…with model organisms!

VOLT Center@voltcenter.bsky.social · 2mo ago

In today's VOLT-all meeting we learnt about a cool model moss system to study interactions between mosses and cyanobacteria. Thomas Ammitsøe reported exciting findings related to nitrogen cycling in the system. We look forward to hearing what volatile signals are exchanged between the organisms.

The uncritical adoption of AI in science is alarming — we urgently need guard rails

Artificial intelligence is rapidly accelerating scientific output, but risks narrowing inquiry, weakening judgement and undermining how scientists are trained.
