Delighted that our most recent work exploring how perchlorate salts influence vitrification and the low temprature limit for life is now out in @CommsBio!

Excited to share my latest preprint just in time for #FEMS2025 ! This preprint is the start of a series of work I've been doing trying to understand the biophysical limits to life in extreme environments. So come have a chat at FEMS if you're interested in extremophile biophysics

I am thrilled to share the first paper published from my PhD! This paper explores the growth and physiology of a bacteria in ammonia with implications for the habitability of ammonia-water environments on Earth and icy moons such as Enceladus.

Donald Trump was elected by Americans to defend the interests of Americans.

The question we, as Europeans, must ask ourselves is, are we ready to defend the interests of Europeans?

[Stewart Gault @TAstrobiologist]

This work was conducted in collaboration between myself, @CharlesCockell, and Fernanda Fonseca @INRAE_TRANSFORM. I'll write a summary blog soon, but there's much more already in the works, hopefully ready to share at #EANA2024
