Studying aquatic microbes at UT Austin in the Baker Microbial Ecology Lab. How did life begin? What are the limits of life? And Is there life on other planets?

Are you at the International Conference on the Geo-Omics of Archaea (ICGOA) in Shenzhen this weekend?

Come say hello at the poster session and check out my latest pre-print on a methane producing consortia dominated by ANME archaea.

🚨My first pre-print is up🚨Methane production from hydrocarbon by consortium dominated by ANME archaea.

Centred on microscopic footage of one small microbe during its final moments, this short makes for an intriguing and surprisingly moving reflection on life, death and the imprecise boundaries between these two states @JourneyToMicro https://t.co/7VwVPI2IaE

@archaeal I think my handle likely gives my vote away...

In our new paper at Cell (@CellCellPress), we reveal secrets of how the third form of life, archaea, make energy. We uncover new lineages of hydrogen-using enzymes, both minimal and complex. These help archaea thrive in all sorts of extreme environments. https://t.co/ZQzYemOI3o

We've been trying to find this purple blob for 6 Years!

I was reminded of this editorial https://t.co/PZlG2pYgdQ in Developmental Biology when I saw my cell bio professor on campus today. "As scientists, it is essential for us to advocate for positive evolution within the scientific publishing system..."

Just wanted to call out and see if anyone knew of any postbacc positions/lab tech roles for a student I know who wants to gain some more experience prior to graduate school! He is interested in EEB research particularly marine community ecology/trophic interactions but 1/2

It's #MicroscopyMonday, so let's take a look into the 🔬!

Researchers at the MBL mapped the full-body muscular activity of Hyrda Vulgaris while it was moving and behaving using a technique called calcium imaging.

A great midday break today with my lab mates to experience the eclipse!

[UT Austin @UTAustin]

Total solar eclipse meets the Forty Acres 🤘

[Natalie Sarno @Asgard_Archaea]

A beautiful day to pass my qualifying exam with full support and no conditions 🤘🏻

I am looking for a summer undergraduate intern to contribute to estuary sampling for HABs, mixotrophy identification, and phytoplankton culturing! Paid position with housing available in Savannah! Applications are open #REU #marinescience #oceanography https://t.co/hBLohpHuh5

Not trying to sway you one way or the other, of course. Just dropping this picture of the smallest Hummingbird Bobtail Squid next to a paperclip...

@JourneyToMicro @Leao_pel This reminds me! How's your tardigrade doing?

It may surprise you to know that older bodies of water are much better for finding hotspots of ciliate diversity.

Like the old lake in Warsaw, where our master of microscopes found this unique ciliate that hasn't been seen in 90 years. https://t.co/Gf8Oi4VFvq

We are excited to announce that UT Summer Science registration is now open! UT Summer Science is an exciting, inquiry-based learning experience for youth entering 3rd through 8th grade.

I’ve been dreaming of this paper for a decade. One PhD and one postdoc later, here it is!

What do ecology and evolution look like in a 20-year freshwater time series? Turns out they blur together.

Check out this AMAZING preprint from my lab mate @RobinRohwer where she analyzed 20 YEARS worth of data from Lake Mendota! https://t.co/YWm6ZwHvXi
