🚨Our book is now available for pre-order🚨

It was such an honour to contribute to this, as this was the book that opened my eyes to, and inspired me to study #marine #microbiology!

Highly recommend for students/academics wishing to learn about marine microbes.

10,000 miles on #Polarstern: from Namibia across the Weddell Sea to the Falklands 🇦🇶

We deployed autonomous samplers and filtered 2,000L of seawater to study microbial seasonality and ecology, in a team of 100 lovely people.

Keen to join our science? PhD position open! bit.ly/phd-polar-mi...

Our latest on the genetic content carried within different populations of DNA-containing particles in the oceans! Vesicles and viruses likely play distinct roles in microbial horizontal gene transfer networks. Grateful to all collaborators

Hi 🧊bsky
I'll be chairing the GRS on Polar Marine Science in Italy this March!
We still have 10 seats available & 5 days left to apply!
Join our ECR community to share your research and discuss the role of sea ice in ecosystem dynamics!

I just wanted to send a quick update and thank the 70+ people who applied for the upcoming #anvio workshop and ECR symposium in Oldenburg so far.

We are very encouraged with the geographical diversity, which has been one of our main concerns. The applications are open until January 10.

Hello Bluesky 👋 ...with some impressions from our North Pole expedition last year; studying the Arctic ecosystem from sea-ice 🧊 to seafloor 🐙 Exciting science and lovely people!
