If you're looking to apply for a postdoc 👇👇👇👇. Can't stress enough how great the team of ECRs you'll be working with (the project looks pretty cool too🌬️🌌👾 (or something like that))
1 month left to apply for MODELLING POSTDOC investigating the HABITABILITY of the atmosphere (Earth and elsewhere)! Join this fantastic team of early career researchers as we seek to answer: is the atmosphere a ‘true’ ecosystem? Link below

Want to learn about subglacial hydrology with a splendid team in spectacular Greenland? We're seeking a PDRA with expertise in glaciology and/or engineering. Contact me or @living_stephen for more info.
Come work with us in Tromsø!

Excellent new study by @DrBradBrad et co. on microbial adaptions to living on glacier surfaces! (Was tempted to use some emojis here but I don't think I can do a better job than the author in breaking down the study. Check it out 👇👇👇(these hands don't count))
Glaciers are tough places for life 🦠
🥶 Freezing temps & freeze-thaw cycles
🪫 Resource scarcity
🕶️ High UV
🌑 Long polar night
So how do glacier microbes survive when conditions become intolerable?
New paper explores dormancy among glacier microbes 🧵

📢 A new modelling perspective into the spatial and temporal patterns of #erosion beneath the Eurasian ice sheet during the last glacial cycle.
Within the geological blink of an eye #ice had the equivalent impact of levelling Mt #Everest 500 times over!

Excellent job by Kristyna Vrbicka describing what microbial assemblages you might find (and not find) in Greenland Ice Sheet proglacial rivers.

Kristyna Vrbicka's first PhD paper is out! What controls the microbial assemblages in SW Greenland ice sheet-fed streams? Feat. @tyler_kohler @jonnyhawkings @LGGwi @petavinsova @BulinovaMarie@marekstibal &al. #WhatTheFlux https://t.co/8AR0rJvfYk
How much of Earth's organic carbon is buried in ocean sediments? And how much stays 'buried'? ��🌎🔨
Here we propose 'Transfer Efficiencies' as a metric to quantify the organic carbon sink in marine sediments

Some thoughts following #PolarPrideDay yesterday
I put the non polar scientist-facing thoughts here https://t.co/aObRe4VYQd…
For anyone reading this who is involved with polar science, here are my thoughts on what we could be doing better 🧵

Subglacial methane in Greenland. Shot by the great @PeterWSinclair who was brave enough to come with us to the mighty Isunnguata Sermia. Starring some of the best young talents in subglacial methane research, and myself. #MARCH4G
Super cool thread (and study) explaining how dormant spores decide to wake up "without" spending (new) energy (I think...)⚡⚡⚡(to quote the author @kaitochondria)

Meanwhile, management slashes staff salaries & pensions, refuses to address pay inequality, unsustainable workloads & precarious contracts & threatens 100% deductions for working to contract. Staff are currently on strike while management patronises students & staff with comms 🥴
I am excited to announce two PhD Opportunities in my new lab @PurdueAgronomy (the "Managed Ecosystems Microbial Ecology lab")! One project explores surface ecology (https://t.co/Qgq5gL6Lzr), the other plant-microbe interactions (https://t.co/pwLP6n9s0g). @Boilermicrobes 👇👇
Want to work on the ECOLOGY OF GLACIAL ENVIRONMENTS?

Join us for Friday's @deepbiosphere Virtual Meeting Series!
We are excited and grateful to be joined by Ivona Cetinič @NASAGoddard who will share her thoughts on how to prevent and address sexual harassment in the field.
A timely and important discussion.
