We are ready for sampling tomorrow! #NNF_WheatAlliance
400 plants across 4 days = 1600 samples. Wish us luck…
Not shown: the 100 liters of autoclaved water we will use to wash the roots.

It wasn’t long away from live-tweeting: today is the #DMS2025 Congress, where all microbiologists across Denmark gather for a day of networking and exchanging ideas 🧫🦠

Very special moment to be appreciated by the conference for the (sometimes busy work!) of live-tweeting. 50% it’s for me to remember what I heard, but also 50% to share the wonderful work of my peers ⭐️
What a nice surprise to receive a small appreciation (🇪🇸jamón&cheese 😋) for our social media activities at #PMS2025 together with @courtneyherms.bsky.social and @gstringlis.bsky.social

The next #PMS2027 will be CHINA! Spicy food and nice weather in Changsha. Hope to see you all again in two years!
Also thank you to @microsos.bsky.social for the nice gift recognizing the social media work, and the judges for 2nd place poster 😄
