🌊 Don’t miss @bronwyncc discussing the genetic potential for plastic biodegradation in industrial wastewater biotreatment microbiomes! Learn how these microbes can help tackle plastic pollution. #MicroSeq2024 #Metagenomics #Bioremediation

[MicroSeq2026 @Microseq_ASM]

💻 Tune in to @BhavyaPapudeshi’s presentation on Sphae, a toolkit for identifying #PhageTherapy candidates from #sequencing data! Learn how this workflow streamlines phage characterization for therapeutic use. #MicroSeq2024 #Bioinformatics

Microbes play a role in transforming coal to methane. @bronwyncc shows 4 taxa identified via metagenomics, with genetic potential for metabolising complex carbon in coal. Implications for industrial methane stimulation and bioremediation of organic pollutants #MicroSeq2023

Could microbes help us defeat plastic waste? 🦠

We have a big plastic waste problem. Only 9% of plastic produced and used worldwide each year is recycled.

We're investigating using the biorecycling powers of microbes to manage our plastic waste. https://t.co/Guf11F2Df9

A great job opportunity in our Perth-based Resource Sector Biotechnology Team for a Research Projects Officer. For more info, please see: https://t.co/5YRZBSPAnQ

Belated paper post (and it's free to read):

In underground coal seams, a diverse range of methane-producing microbes were identified using online data. Then, we inferred what they're probably consuming in the different coal seams when they make methane.

The preliminary program for the 24th International Biohydrometallurgy Symposium (IBS) 2022 organised in Perth and online 20-23 November 2022 is now available at : https://t.co/5SsF89iK7j
I hope to see you there :)

@RKP_Industries @NatIsaacs @1millionwomen @Macquarie_Uni @MQ_Inclusion @DebbieHaski @WomenSciAUST Hmm... meanwhile, as one of the (many) women made redundant by Macquarie last year, I spent IWD in a meeting over whether I can continue running my climate change research grant now that I'm no longer paid for it...

@Anthony_Lanati @igordownunder @WOMEESA New candidates only, it's just an update to the standard agreement form we get when we start

[Bronwyn Campbell @bronwyncc]

@Anthony_Lanati @igordownunder @WOMEESA Pretty sure this was updated to 12 weeks parental leave offered for either parent for students starting in 2020 onwards

[Bronwyn Campbell @bronwyncc]

@JourneyToMicro What's the diameter of the dark field filters? I'm really keen to get them but just want to make sure they'll fit the microscope I have

[Bronwyn Campbell @bronwyncc]

@Anthony_Lanati @kopitetome @joshjshea @LaurenGsky @AstroBonology If you haven't found it already, Overleaf has a great user guide - I almost always find the answers I need there. Also you could write directly in overleaf and send your supervisor/s the pdf to comment on, though I've had mixed results with that!

@sozdnt What do you mean 'bland'? Like it needs more salt? Herbs? Spices?

[Bronwyn Campbell @bronwyncc]

@AstroBonology Do you mean a section in your thesis dedicated to reflecting on your personal training? Or that generally there should be a greater focus on learning while completing a PhD, rather than mainly focussing on pumping out novel research?

When you think of photosynthesis you might think of green plants producing oxygen, but today we’re looking at a purple bacteria that photosynthesizes and smells like rotten eggs.

My article today in The Conversation highlights the recent devastating cuts to Earth Science in Australian universities and how both government policies and university choices are to blame. https://t.co/UEXO6IwITl via @ConversationEDU
