Very interesting! CPR cultivation has been a bottleneck for years. This paper showing “microbial dark matter” enriched in the lab and thriving in oxic conditions highlights their amazing ecological role in groundwater. Thank you for sharing this.
Agreed. ImageJ is an amazing tool. But, the current interface gives old school Windows XP vibes. A makeover would be very nice.
Dear #envhist community, I will be presenting my draft paper “Wind and Site Engineers, 'behind the turbines' 1971-1999" at the CHSTM Energy History Working Group on April 10th. Feel free to join and/or contact me cc @eseh.bsky.social @leruche.bsky.social @nichecanada.bsky.social
Happy International Day of Happiness!
Working with microbes since 2019, this is something we needed. Amazing tool!
Couldn't agree more. Happy IWD!
We're pulling together the genomes for GlobDB release 232, which will be based on the upcoming GTDB release. We will also add new sources of genomes not in INSDC. Here's an overview of the data that will be included in the next GlobDB: globdb.org/news
Please contact me if we've missed something!🦠🖥️🧬
I am honored.
Congratulations, Dr. Rillig. I have learned a lot from your research work while writing a book chapter on soil biogeochemical cycling and sustainable land use. Your research work is very inspiring to me as well.
Insightful.
Interesting watch!

New research shows that by 2050 global yield losses linked to extreme heat at flowering could rise by about one-third. By 2090, those losses could increase by more than 75%.
