Do you want to see the "big picture" on climate change?
Here it is.
Emissions are on the left, and include CO2, CH4, N2O, and f-gases. Natural CO2 sinks (from healthy forests & oceans) are on the right. And carbon removal, what little there is, is on the right, too. All expressed as GWP100.
#MicroSky: Mystery gut infections with no detectable pathogen are deadly- hard to treat. In severe cases, washed microbiota transplantation showed >60% response and 43% cure rates, hinting that restoring gut ecosystems may succeed where antibiotics fail. Zhang et al at doi.org/10.1111/1751...
Spargelzeit is certainly special!
El ensilado transforma el forraje fresco en alimento rico en nutrientes tras fermentación, mejorando la seguridad alimentaria del ganado. Aunque las emisiones de metano son una preocupación, pero las técnicas mejoradas lo hacen más sostenible y eficiente . grupos.eez.csic.es/imili/wp-con...
Really excited to share our new paper from @ibe-warszawa.bsky.social protist team! 🎉
We dive into protist symbioses and show how these interactions shape ecosystems and have played a key role in the evolution of eukaryotes 🦠
great article in @quantamagazine.bsky.social by natalie wolchover on the bacterial flagellum and proton motive force. alas, I missed this great model on what happens to the stators during gear-shifting. see it in STC:

I have concluded my peer review this morning with the following statement:
Sorry I’m towards the end of the 16 hours of a 16-8 fasting day and I’m probably grumpier than usual. But that’s my initial reaction. I’m happy to comment further if you wish.

Truly humbled and deeply honored to have been elected a Fellow of the European Academy of #Microbiology, @femsmicro.org
Profoundly grateful to my mentors, collaborators, colleagues, and students, past and present, whose guidance, creativity, and dedication have shaped this journey 🙏 ♥️
This is a moment to pause—with deep gratitude and a touch of humility—to share some exciting news: I’ve been elected as a Fellow of the European Academy of Microbiology (EAM). fems-microbiology.org/european-aca... [some words of thanks and thoughts in the comments]
I feel honoured & thankful to the electors who chose me through their peer-review process as a Fellow of the European Academy of #Microbiology. This reflects upon my teachers/supervisors, students and colleagues of the past 25+ years on environmental & animal microbiology.
