🛣️ Bypass a molecular bodyguard to stop persistent bacterial infections:
IceLab researcher Kemal Avican and team show how the protein RfaH helps them resist stress and persist — and how its network could be a new antimicrobial target.

We agree with our friends at @umeaunimarine.bsky.social - too good not to share - nerdy and cool game alert! IceLab affiliate @ericcapo12.bsky.social developed a microbe card game with his colleagues. Read more about it in the article below.

Ok, we just have to share this 🤓
Our research colleagues are developing a #microorganism card game — teaching kids (and parents!) all about the tiny creatures living in our waters!
So nerdy. So cool.🌊🧪🦑

🧪🌾INTERVIEW - His discovery challenges current textbook knowledge

PhD student Özer Erguvan from the @stephanevrg.bsky.social group discovered that two key sites in plant cell walls and not the middle lamella help cells stick together.🔬

Bias in scientific productivity and prominence - it's about your network.
@aaronclauset.bsky.social's IceLab talk showed how collaboration networks shape the gender productivity gap in academia.

Teaching at @icelabumu.bsky.social Camp (multidisciplinary research proposal workshop for early career researchers) last week. One night planned electrical work in the town of Granö afforded us rare dark skies. Here you see three students enjoying the light show. Amazing. #northernlights #photosky
Three people sit at the end of a pier and watch a northern lights display over a river.

📢 New research!
Warming Arctic lakes may lead to higher methane production and increased greenhouse gas emissions! 🌍❄️💧

More methane as Arctic lakes warm
A warmer and wetter climate leads to more methane being released from sediments.
