Well, it's been quite a week at #ISME18 - I've met so many amazing people and developed a richer understanding of our field. Now back to the UK to decompress for a couple of days then back to the lab!

Day three of ISME18, Lausanne, Switzerland! Here's a snapshot from the opening ceremony on Sunday 🎉 Today I'm presenting my poster on community assembly mechanisms of rare and abundant cryoconite communities at board 364 on the lower floor 4pm-6pm. Come check it out! #ISME18

Are you an early career in Astrobiology/Planetary Sciences? Do you want to attend a symposium made by early careers for early careers? Let us know your interest! Shot the QR code and let's meet in La Palma in 2022 with the joined event AbGradEPEC (@abgradeurope @epec_epn)

@EmStreams It's hard to maintain narrative quality through to the end, and Mike Flanagan has had problems with that e.g. Haunting of Hill House - but Midnight Mass is his best work IMO

[Amy Solman @AmyBoTinky]

Finished watching Midnight Mass this morning and I don't think a programme has ever made me cry that much. Incredible writing and acting. Tender and compelling handling of God, death, predudice and religious fanatasism.

I've gone live! Some more Dark Souls randomised sillyness and possibly Spiderman later on :)

[Amy Solman @AmyBoTinky]

Today I submitted my first grant application to assist with my research costs! It certainly gives you a great feeling of ownership and pride in your work. Wish me luck 🤞🤞🤞

[Amy Solman @AmyBoTinky]

Spending the day curled up on the sofa, under a fluffy blanket, drinking copious amounts of coffee and coding. Today is a good day 😄

Interesting new paper linking chemistry and biology in the evolution of life... https://t.co/VINpwwuc9F

[Amy Solman @AmyBoTinky]

Had a great time learning how to handle RNA-Seq data, quantify differential gene expression and ontology with the guys at @NERC_EOF yesterday. Can't wait to continue with the course tomorrow. Invaluable training that I hope can benefit my glacial microbial activity research!

Happy #PolarWeek and a heads up that #PolarPride and #LGBTQSTEMDay are on 18th November 2021. Join us in a global celebration, wherever you are - from the poles, your institutions or online! #DiversityInPolarScience

Why is running water so deeply pleasing? Taking a stop on our way out of Scotland

[Amy Solman @AmyBoTinky]

The Scotish landscape is so wild and gothic. Absolutely love it!

Brilliant day climbing up Ben Nevis with these beautiful people! Couldn't see a bloody thing...

I repeat- I haven’t been this excited about a discovery since CRISPR. We found something enigmatic that, like CRISPR, is associated with microbial genomes. We have named these unique entities #BORGs
