Greta Thunberg a su llegada al aeropuerto de Atenas: "Podría hablar mucho tiempo sobre malos tratos y abusos que hemos sufrido en prisión. Créanme, pero esa no es la historia. Lo que pasa ahora mismo es que Israel sigue intensificando el genocidio y la destrucción masiva contra el pueblo palestino".

It is a pleasure to attend @mikrobiokosmos.bsky.social and CEESME from @isme-microbes.bsky.social and meet great scientist and friends @tijanamartin.bsky.social @piwoszomonas.bsky.social

Conferences are not only about sharing research, but also about meeting friends, discovering new ideas, and listening to inspiring talks, even outside of my own field. @cristian-vi-al.bsky.social delivering excellence, as usual 😊 #mbkceesme2025 @mikrobiokosmos.bsky.social @isme-microbes.bsky.social

Genocidio, exterminio y aniquilación en Gaza.
Imágenes del horror. Niños palestinos heridos con sufrimiento infinito sacados de escombros y llevados en vehículo tras bombardeo de los criminales genocidas de Israel sobre tiendas de campaña. Holocausto en vivo. No dejes de hablar de Palestina.

Evergreen reminder that wind turbines are not even remotely a leading cause of human-driven bird mortality. This is classic concern trolling in the interest of fossil fuels - if they really cared about birds they'd focus on domestic cats and building glass. And what's not shown here: climate change.

$Chart by Statista with data from US Fish & Wildlife Service: Annual estimated bird mortality from selected anthropogenic causes in the U.S. Domestic cats are by far the main killers of birds, followed by building glass collision, vehicle collision, poison, electrical lines, electrocutions and, at a small fraction of each of the above, collision with wind turbines.$

Transcript-based libraries and BChla concentration indicated that AAP bacteria prefered particle-attached lifestyle and their phototrophy varied between lifestyles and seasons. Traditional DNA assessments may misrepresent photoheterotrophic capacities in the sea.

Ojalá muchos hubiesen hablado así de claro en sus casas a sus hijos, los derechos que aún tenemos se pelearon y costaron sangre, sudor, lagrimas y vidas. No cayeron del cielo y desde luego ni la extrema derecha ni los fascistas nos los regalaron. Nos falta memoria y comunicación
