Preparing another Nanopore/Genome assembly workshop for tomorrow to round off #ICOM2026 in style. Drew me back to @protocolsio.bsky.social. We started over 10 years ago with long-reads, with 10+ workshops and lots of smiles. Memory lane made me smile. 1/2
It has been a great experience volunteering on the IMS board. We have new student awards, a new logo, a refreshed website, and we’re set for the next ICOMs. We also have t-shirts! All to ensure that mycorrhizal research continues to thrive. Come see our booth at #icom2026 !
YORKSHIRE REPRESENT at #ICOM2026 with @katiefield4.bsky.social and @tomthirkell.bsky.social presenting their innovative and exciting research on using AMF and MFRE associations in agricultural systems!
We're excited to be in Cairns for #ICOM2026! @helenpinfield.bsky.social is on booths 2 and 3 and happy to chat about the Foundation and its journals.

Listening to John Ramana explain his 2025 paper understanding how AMF communities respond to exotic plant invasions doi.org/10.1111/nph.... one of the @newphyt.bsky.social awardees at #ICOM2026
Invasive plants decrease arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal diversity and promote generalist fungal partners
Invasion by exotic plants is a major threat to ecosystem biodiversity globally. Although mutualistic belowground associations can play a significant role in successful invasion, studies have shown m.....
