Junior faculty job alert in Germany - Marine Evolutionary Genomics @geomarkiel.bsky.social / University of Kiel www.geomar.de/en/karriere/... Marine study system of your choice (no microbes, sorry…), excellent infrastructure and ship access, moderate teaching requirements, closing date 6 June

New paper entitled “Microbes as manipulators of egg size and developmental evolution” with @matt-kustra.bsky.social is out in mBio! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

I urge you to read this. The doubt, success, growth process hits home for countless academic trainees. I was on the mentor side of Maria's journey; She has the heart to put the journey on the table. Below are a few quotes that I believe stand out 🧵: www.science.org/content/arti...

I really like the figure here to represent the process and not just the result.

A long, long time ago, we started this review project during the first Coron lockdown, but if finally made it out into the world - Origin and function of beneficial bacterial symbioses in insects! @naturerevmicro.bsky.social

A new Master in Microbiome Science 🦠🧫🔬👨‍🎓 👩‍🎓🧑‍🎓 @univie.ac.at Apply now! Registration till April 7th, 2025 studieren.univie.ac.at/en/degree-pr... #microbiome #master #uniwien #univienba #vienna #education #research #science #facts

Coming soon…

Out today: Exciting intermediate between endosymbiont and organelle identified! Endosymbionts in Angomonas deanei lost nearly all bacterial cell division genes. Instead, we identified a host-encoded protein, ETP9, that became specialized for endosymbiont division. 1/2 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I wrote something... about writing. #ScientificWriting to be exact, but I think it applies to all kinds of #writing.

PhD position available in Ceske Budejovice (Czechia), funded by ERC KLEPTOS, to study plastid endosymbiosis in kleptoplastidic protists. Are you curious about this process and do you like sampling/cultivation of protists? Join our team by applying here: jobs.bc.cas.cz/en/detail/243 #protistsonsky

Baffling, to say the least.

I worry that the focus on NOAA's weather predicting value is ignoring the millions of other ways NOAA researchers enrich communities and local economies. There are no oysters without NOAA. There are no blue crabs without NOAA. NOAA trains teachers. NOAA is the lifeblood of coastal communities.

Hello, Bluesky! We are the #CollaborativeResearchCentre „Origin and Function of Metaorganisms“ funded by the German Research Foundation #DFG at #KielUniversity, around 80 researchers investigate the interactions of microbial communities with multicellular hosts. www.metaorganism-research.com

Can’t wait to be back in Kiel and at @geomarkiel.bsky.social to discuss host-microbe symbioses! www.metaorganism-research.com/seminars-eve...

Last morning of #SICB2025 and we’re starting off bright and early with @kevindkohl.bsky.social Kevin studies the bacteria that live on and within animals. He’s giving us a history of the study of the holobiont- the collective of organisms that live together as a unit (e.g. you & all your bacteria)

Scott Gilbert enlightening SICB on the wonderful and omnipresent world of host-microbe symbioses.

Another 🚨 new paper alert! We found some of the first evidence of a microbially-mediated life history tradeoff in tropical corals driven by dominance of our fave bacterial symbiont, Endozoicomonas! Read more about it here: animalmicrobiome.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Tomorrow marks the start of SICB25, where I’ll be presenting two posters: “Symbiont-mediated metabolic shift in the sea anemone Anthopleura elegantissima” (P2-109) and “Microbes as manipulators of egg size and developmental evolution” (P3-75). Hope to see you there!
