Finally, I am recruiting a bioinformatic engineer/technician, a lab technician, and a postdoc to help establish the group at @fzborstel.bsky.social (~20km outside Hamburg). More info at: fz-borstel.de/en/education....

Exciting news! After a wonderful four years at @uni-jena.de, I'm excited to announce the next chapter as a group leader at @fzborstel.bsky.social and professor at @uni-kiel.de.

Congratulations to @ameliabarberphd.bsky.social on her next career step! From July 1, she joins @fzborstel.bsky.social & @uni-kiel.de as Group Leader and Professor. We'll miss her interdisciplinary spirit and fungal expertise. Best of luck in Kiel and Borstel, Amelia! 🦠💻

Especially happy to be finishing this project, it taught me so much. doi.org/10.64898/202... Thanks for the journey, @ameliabarberphd.bsky.social and @kellerlab.bsky.social!

The VEO Group has a position open for a PhD student to investigate Fungi-bacteria interactions in complex communities! Check out this position and many more at the JSMC website 👇👇 www.jsmc-phd.de/admission/va...

Wrapping up a productive week: very glad to have contributed to this review on how spatial structure shapes microbial ecology and evolution, led by @marcelbaecker.bsky.social, @bedutilh.bsky.social, @bramvandijk.bsky.social and many others. doi.org/10.1093/fems...

Spatial structure: shaping the ecology and evolution of microbial communities

Spatial structure naturally emerges in microbial communities, shaping growth, interactions, and evolution, and revealing how microscale processes scale up

Anyone looking for roommates for #Fungal26 in Asilomar? I will participate and I am looking for someone to share a room for the week! I'm a female PhD student, looking to share a room with another female. Please DM me if you'd like to team up with me 😄 Reposts appreciated!

🚨 Fungi + viruses + mammalian lungs? Buckle up! Our new paper in @natmicrobiol.nature.com uncovers the story of a deadly fungus and its gnarly viral hitchhiker — and how this duo may change how we diagnose & treat fungal disease 🍄🫁🚨 doi.org/10.1038/s415... ⬇️

✨ @laurafabre.bsky.social & @ameliabarberphd.bsky.social — for brilliant support, sharp insights, and being the kind of collaborators everyone wishes they had Couldn’t have done it without you — and honestly, wouldn’t have wanted to 🎯
