A new Consensus Statement led by @greening.bsky.social and @noahfierer.bsky.social in @natmicrobiol.nature.com Guidelines for preventing and reporting contamination in low-biomass microbiome studies ❗A must-read for anyone working in this field #microsky 🧪🦠 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Heading back ✈️ to Syracuse after a great #ASMicrobe!! Off to @nempet.bsky.social on Friday!!

The White House's proposed FY26 budget would cut NIH funding by >40%. Our new #SCIMaP report projects the budget would lead to economic losses throughout the US with $10M+ lost in almost every House district. scienceimpacts.org/fy26 @joshuasweitz.bsky.social @asinclair.bsky.social @cl10.bsky.social

“[The] NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory reflects what’s possible when the federal government backs world-class engineers and scientists with the tools to lead. This facility will drive discovery, inspire future innovators and unleash American excellence through scientific leadership."

skyviewer.app has been one of my projects supporting Rubin Observatory's First Look at images, check out my baby

And you can see the full sized images here skyviewer.app (also the work of @bigmoodenergy.bsky.social )

www.youtube.com/live/Zv22_Am... The First Look for the Rubin Observatory is starting! #scicomm And, if you want to learn more about the observatory, check out their awesome and educational website: rubinobservatory.org (which also happens to be the product of my sister @bigmoodenergy.bsky.social)

For our last #AES Session, join us at 8:15 AM in 403B for AES-IDS-501 Microbiology of Mineral and Energy Resource Recovery. #ASMicrobe

Introducing...your sneak peek at the cosmos captured by NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory! Can you guess these regions of sky? This is just a small peek...join us at 11am US EDT for your full First Look at how Rubin will #CaptureTheCosmos! 🔭🧪 #RubinFirstLook ls.st/rubin-first-look-livestream

Some final pics and that’s a wrap for me at ASM Microbe 2025! See everyone next year in DC!!

For the first time this conference, the free coffee line wasn’t stretching halfway across the exhibit hall #ASMicrobe

Enjoying the DTLA vibes before afternoon sessions!

Hey 👋 #ASMicrobe! Don’t forget > social media meetup at 3PM at the conference entrance by the BIG “ASM L A” sign. Group Photo! Please 🙏 RePost! Meet your #scicom friends from social media in person! It’s epic! CC @asm.org

Today at #ASMicrobe, the case has been made multiple times that we are ignoring a LOT of anaerobic physiology. Researchers need to be willing to work on it and funding agencies need to be brave enough to fund it! And - mind you, I had to fight to get my anaerobe session here approved!

Nothing is forever! Especially when it comes to the power of microbes! Come and learn more about this #AES session at 1:45 PM in 403B for AES-IDS-406 Discovery of "forever chemical"-degrading microorganisms. Are microbes our only hope for cleaning up our messes? Find out here! #ASMicrobe

@markowenmartin.bsky.social is hosting a Matters Microbial Live with Dianne Newman right now! #ASMicrobe

Last but not least, our final #AES Track Talk is today at 12:45! Come down to our Tack Hub for Dr. Skylar Carlson and her talk AES-TT-405 Algae Surface Associated Microbes & the language of location! Come learn about environmental microbes and their chemical signals! #ASMicrobe

I forgot to tag #ASMicrobe. I've listened to the Archaeacast and learned a lot!

At a session on communicating your science at #ASMicrobe! This slide here is so so so true! Our comms office @sunyesf.bsky.social is an incredible resource and full of amazing people excited about the science we are doing!!

Hey #ASMicrobe, I heard u like bacteria : ) I'm not there this year but you can order online artologica.etsy.com 🧪🐡🦠

Hey all - check this post if you’re at #ASMicrobe this weekend. Let’s have a meet up tomorrow for a photo op of microbiologists on @bsky.app who are at #ASMicrobe! Be there at 3 PM at the main entrance giant ASM sign! In person meetups are super fun - please be there! And plz repost!

Hope to see folks today and tomorrow at #ASMicrobe. Today is a fifteen minute or so talk (last minute replacement). Tomorrow is #MattersMicrobial Episode 99. Happy to see whomever has time! #QualityQuorum @asm.org @univpugetsound.bsky.social @microbetv.bsky.social

Well this is f’in sad #ASMicrobe

Since someone at #ASMicrobe just showed the Schopf translation of microbial fossils I’ll just re-up this paper that @thiotrix.bsky.social and I dreamed up during a coffee break : onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Who is at #ASMicrobe? Reply with a 👋 and let’s do a bsky meetup tomorrow for a group photo! Please repost / share / like this post to extend its reach. Let’s go! 🚀 🦠 🧬🖥️ 🧪

Attending American Society for Microbiology Microbe 2025? Check out my event on Sunday. Ask me for a sticker! #asmicrobe @asm.org

My talk at #ASMicrobe ! Looking forward to this!

I am giving two presentations here at #ASMicrobe. Saturday, 2:45PM, to talk about "shock and awe" experiments that will really resonate with students. Sunday, 10:35AM, #MattersMicrobial Episode 99 with Dianne Newman to chat about Albert Kluyver and microbial history! Hope to see you there!

@asm.org our booth at #ASMicrobe is empty because our comms team was fired. We oppose the damage to NIH-funded research and the people who do it. Please show your support by signing the #BethesdaDeclaration. #Microbe #Microbe2025 www.standupforscience.net/bethesda-dec...

So many wonderful connections being made at the #ASMicrobe Women's Reception, LGBTQIA+ Reception and ASM Minority Mixer!

Interested in fabricated microbial ecosystems? Join us this summer at EcoFAB! It's an amazing program. Learn more and register here: eco-fab.org/ecofab-2025-...

As a reminder to #ASMicrobe folks, we are just 15ish min away by public transit from Little Tokyo!

Curious about a changing climate and pathogenic microbes? Then join us today at 1:45 PM (404A) for Impacts on Water, Water-borne Pathogens, and Human Health. Featuring our invited speaker Dr. Rita Colwell!

The way I always RUN to the ATCC booth #ASMicrobe

Come check out our session on metal homeostasis in environmental microorganisms! We are here until 10:15! Rm 403B #ASMicrobe

Step 1: seriously overhaul increasingly bloated tenure and promotion expectations.

Come watch me moderate this session at 8:15am tomorrow morning after my flight arrives several hours late at 2am! #ASMicrobe

A short thread about the people in my lab who will present posters and give rapid talks at #ASMmicrobe: 🧵

Join us at 8:15 AM on Friday (403B) at #ASMicrobe for Microbes Are so Metal: Metal Ion Homeostasis in Environmental Microorganisms for a deep dive into the world of heavy metals and how microbes deal with these potentially toxic ions. Rock on! This is one of our first #AES sessions!

Be ready bright and early tomorrow morning for the "standardizing success" in microbiome research session at #ASMicrobe ! (And don't forget the NMDC posters too tomorrow and Saturday !)

Protect Trans Scientists. cowritten with a lot of amazing people (I tagged those I could find but there are so many more incredible folks) www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @thepunkscientist.bsky.social @jlw-ecoevo.bsky.social @bfrancescol.bsky.social @drsueishaq.bsky.social

Excited to be on the way to #ASMicrobe once more ! And if you want to know more about our work on CRISPRs, metagenomes, and phages, please come and chat and/or come see me tomorrow morning (9:15am in the EEB-IDS-202 session, which looks amazing overall !)

Also also come find me or Jamal if you want to talk BV-BRC @bvbrc.bsky.social - we might hang out near the NIH table in the exhibit hall at #ASMicrobe at some point.

Attn ASM 2025 attendees interested in Mars, astrobiology, and sample return! I'll be speaking Fri June 20 (10:45am, AES Track Hub, Exhibit Hall) on the frontiers of microbial life detection in context of (potentially) returning samples from Mars. Hope to see you there! #ASMicrobe

Voting: ✔️ Traveling to #ASMicrobe: in-progress 🛩️

Hi #ASMicrobe go-ers!! I am convening a session tomorrow @8:15am PDT! (I may be half asleep bc my ✈️ gets in at midnight) This session is about metal homeostasis in environmental 🦠 and includes topics like lanthanide metabolism, cable bacteria, Mn-oxidizing fungi, metal stress, and more! #MicroSky
