Our new study is out!

We analysed 40 Malaise trap samples collected across Sweden by the Insect Biome Atlas project using #metabarcoding and #metagenomics

Highly recommended! Hanna’s team is doing ground-breaking research, Stockholm is a lovely city, and a Swedish PhD position is very attractive - an actual job with paid holidays, sick leave, parental leave and pension rights.

Hanna Johannesson @hannajohannesson.bsky.social · Sep 7

We have several open positions in my group, funded from the ERC Grant on the Early Sequestered Germline of Fungi. We search broadly for applicants at both PhD and master-level, with a dedicated interest in fungal evolutionary biology. Please forward and RT!

After a long and frustrating discussion with the Cell Press ”help”-desk, led by Ben and Tom, the paper is finally made open access (in line with what we had requested and expected from the beginning) 😅

I'm hiring a postdoc... By combining samples that are more than a million years old with the short generation time of small rodents, we hope to gain a unique window into evolution unfolding across millions of generations!
