New paper led by @SharkMicrobe interrogating marine biofilms using co-occurrence networks to identify microbial inducers of coral larval settlement to help support reef restoration!

Ever wonder about coral larval settlement? Microbial biofilms?

Sprinkle in a little network analysis and I got a new paper for you 🪸🧬

It's an open secret that
#Scientific #publishing is a joke! 😢

If you ever need a funny explanation for a friend who is not familiar with the publish or perish game, here it is - by the brilliant "Dr Glaucomflecken"

Very excited and grateful to have received the Thomas Davies Grant from @Science_Academy to study the #microbiomes of Moreton Bay’s #mangrove forests and unravel their role in #bluecarbon sequestration. Congrats to the other awardees too!

[Cheong Xin (CX) Chan @dorkyM]

Very grateful to @Science_Academy for the Thomas Davies Grant to study the evolutionary #genomics of thermotolerant #coral symbionts @ace_uq @UQ_SCMB BIG congratulations to all award recipients including @InkaVw also @ace_uq @UQ_SCMB!

Writing papers is easier when you’re surrounded by peers and inspired by nature on the beautiful Minjerribah island

Excited to share the last chapter from my PhD recently published in Ecology! (somehow missed this original tweet while out doing field work...)

Please feel free to reach out if you'd like a copy!

[Heidi Luter @DrHMLuter]

A fantastic 5-yr opportunity to join us @aims_gov_au and contribute to a broad range of projects: microbial ecotoxicology, microbial inducers and probiotics to name a few. Please Retweet!

[Inka Vanwonterghem @InkaVw]

Since we’re looking to fill the position asap and Australia unfortunately is not granting new visas / opening the borders soon, the candidate would need to already be based in AUS/NZ or have existing rights to enter. @Amanda_T_Alker
