A curious, modest man with an encyclopaedic knowledge. No ego but a quiet self-confidence that inspired many. No doubt many publications in the coming years will report innovative ideas that he thought of decades ago….

New #museomics lab manager wanted at the University of Copenhagen!

Natasha de Vere@ndevere.bsky.social · 2y ago

We are making a brand new #Museomics Lab at NHM Denmark, University of Copenhagen - working with DNA from museum & herbarium specimens. We are looking for a lab manager to join us - unlocking the amazing potential of our collections for global change 🌐 and #conservationgenomics research

Reorienting myself in the new social media landscape because of reasons. What is currently the best alternative to instagram, e.g. for science outreach purposes?

Still a few days left to apply for numerous exciting PhD and Postdoc positions within the interdisciplinary WETSCAPES2.0 consortium, including a PhD position in my group and a Postdoc closely collaborating with us. Anyone interested in peatlands should check out and spread the word!

Regulators of aerobic and anaerobic methane oxidation in two pristine temperate peatland types

Abstract. Despite covering less than 5% of Earth's terrestrial area, peatlands are crucial for global carbon storage and are hot spots of methane cycling.

We saw sulfate-reducing bacteria in the middle of a phytoplankton bloom and found that a bit strange, so decided to make a paper out of it! Out now in FEMSEC academic.oup.com/femsec/artic.... Thanks to all collabs at @mpimarinemicrobio.bsky.social and @unigreifswald.bsky.social

Marine particle microbiomes during a spring diatom bloom contain active sulfate-reducing bacteria

During an algal bloom in the North Sea, bacteria living alongside oxygen producing diatoms exploit anoxic niches to reduce sulfate.
