In a couple of days, my grad student Stavros Trimmer will present his new Asgard archaea culture at the GRC Archaea. He named it Skadiarchaeum after Skadi, the Norse goddess of skiing and hunting. Cartoon of Skadi based on cryoET, which was performed together with with @florianwollweber.bsky.social

Tomorrow at 12:45-1:30 in the EEB Track Hub in the poster hall #ASMmicrobe I am talking about microbial diversity including Asgard archaea, and an expanded tree of life from marine sediments.

little displays of kindness on the #LPSC2025 “artistic creations” board
A close-up photograph of the “artistic creations board “at LPSC 2025. It is a black pushpin board, with no cards that participants have colored, written on, placed stickers on. there are five cards in this scene, and three of them are about LGBTQ people. The top one, and my favorite, is a trans pride flag in blue pink and white, with some moon stickers in a row on the top and bottom, and in the middle, it says “the moon is trans“. In the middle is a placard that says space is for everyone next to a rainbow colored ringed planet. Below that is a sketch of the moon with a giant inclusive pride flag sticking out of it, and the text “space ( and NASA science) is for everyone.”

Soraya Alfred—Impacts aren’t all bad! Impacts, like Chicxulub, can generate porosity, permeability, heat, and fluid flow that creates self-sustaining subsurface ecosystems. #LPSC2025
A photograph of a sketch of Soraya Alfred’s talk at LPSC 2025. The sketch is in my small conference notebook. and there are pens/pencils below it for scale. The sketch is dominated on the left side of the page with a perspective view of the Chicxulub impact crater. On the left side you see the impact happening, with a big ejecta blanket rocketing into the sky. On the right side you see the crater some time later: a complex crater with a peak ring, partially filled by water. Below that sketch is a little sketch of a T rex, “about to have a bad day.” To the right is a cross section of the “after” case for Chicxulub, showing a cross section of the peak ring structure, colored by temperature (yellow = hot, blue = cold). In the downwarped sediment layers, there are streamlines (in green/blue) showing that fluid is brought from the warm depths up to the surface, and back down. This supports ecosystems at depth below the surface.

Using the longest metagenome time series ever collected from a natural system, research led by UT postdoc Robin Rohwer finds Wisconsin lake bacteria in a kind of endless evolutionary loop that they can’t seem to shake.

Excited to share “Bin Chicken”, substantially improving genome recovery through rational metagenomic assembly. Applied to public 🌍 metagenomes, it recovered 24,000 novel species 🦠, including 6 novel phyla.
