Stoked to share this, the last PhD chapter of @theburnslab rockstar @AlanWong0424 in print….telling us why microbial dark matter matters in mats @FraserLeod @raw9371 @its_snobsi @anjspa1 @ferrari_belinda @UNSWScience

I'm thrilled that my first (and first-author) publication has been released! If extreme microbiomes, trace gas oxidation, novel primary production or selective pressures are your jam, check it out!

Our article ‘Between a rock and a soft place’ discussing a viral role in transition from mat to stromatolite is now online at @TrendsMicrobiol Fantastic collabs in @raw9371 and Pieter Visscher @AlanWong0424 @FraserLeod @its_snobsi https://t.co/KVsyr5J4ZZ

Proud to share @theburnslab latest preprint, driven by the fantastic @AlanWong0424, the last chapter of his PhD @FraserLeod @raw9371 @its_snobsi

@TheBurnsLab welcomes Steph @its_snobsi to the fold, on the trail of our ancestors in the mats of Shark Bay. Happy hunting 🙂 @FraserLeod @AlanWong0424 @UNSWScience

Just sat through some awesome Homours talks from BABS students, spanning enviro, medical, and synthetic biology, and kicked off by @TheBurnsLab member Max telling us about why we should care about microbial mats in a changing world...@UNSWScience

Latest version of the Burns Lab. Good to have new students on board!

[Burns_Brendan @BurnsBrendan2]

Very proud of this bunch that comprise @TheBurnsLab....rocking the cradle of life. Alan @AlanWong0424, Fraser @FraserLeod, Max, and welcoming two new additions, April and Julia @meltzer_julia to the fold 🙂
