Learning from @stacey_teetee at #MEEM2020 that green and rooibois tea bags are used worldwide in a global initiative looking at decomposition rates in wetlands

[Dr Rachael Lappan @RachaelLappan]

Great talk from @stacey_teetee. Some wetlands sequester carbon better than others - using teabags to measure decomposition rates! (Also handy for getting through fieldwork, presumably)

The second session of #MEEM2020 is about to start: @christiankrohn2 speaking now

[Christina Birnbaum PhD🍃 @ch_birnbaum]

Another complexity layer to analyzing microbiome data: batch effect on microbiome data distribution. Sometimes batch effect is stronger than treatment effect - whoa!
Great talk by @YiwenWang_Eva #MEEM2020

Here's the paper: https://t.co/bdyuqocDxS

[Eleonora Chiri @ele_chiri]

Thanks Eva Wang for exploring ways to optimise how to look at microbiome data - #MEEM2020

[Jen WOOD @JW_ilikedirt]

Existing batch effects correction methods cannot account for the non normal Microbiome data - @YiwenWang_Eva is working on new methods to fix this https://t.co/W0LlEek4q5 #MEEM2020

Listen to @FZMarques: eat your veggies and your pasta al dente!

[Jen WOOD @JW_ilikedirt]

@FZMarques High dietary fibre stimulates gut microbes to produce anti inflammatory BCFA reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease . 4/5 aussies don’t eat enough fibre - eat more veggies ppl! #MEEM2020

[Eleonora Chiri @ele_chiri]

#MEEM2020 spring edition is on this afternoon, 2-5 pm AEDT. Looking forward to hearing from an excitingly diverse speaker line up:
@FZMarques
@AnyaShindler
Yiwen Wang
@christiankrohn2
@stacey_teetee
Mark Bonner

In case you (still) wonder why #ecofriendly #termites and their #mounds are a lot of fun, check out the Behind the Paper post I wrote for the Nature Research Microbiology Community @NatureMicrobiol

@DrBradBrad @greeninglab @ISMEJournal Thanks for sharing James! Looking forward to being able to share our latest insights into soil systems @DrBradBrad @greeninglab

[Eleonora Chiri @ele_chiri]

@greeninglab Thank you, Chris! I am proud of our work on the termite-mound ecosystem. Many interesting questions to ask when it comes to #ecofriendly #termites and their "homes" #termitemounds

[Eleonora Chiri @ele_chiri]

@greeninglab @joshdneufeld @ISMEJournal So very true! A good example of a successful peer-review process aimed to improve and refine how to share our science with the community

[Chris Greening @greeninglab]

Our new article at @ISMEJournal
reveals how methane-oxidising bacteria in termite mounds mitigate greenhouse gas emissions: https://t.co/pENsv6xBrS Mixing microbiology and biogeochemistry, this was a great team effort co-led with @ele_chiri, Philipp Nauer, and Stefan Arndt.

[Eleonora Chiri @ele_chiri]

#Ecofriendly #termites and #bacteria is one of the many take-home messages from today's great science show with @DrShaneRRR @einstein_agogo @3RRRFM

[Einstein A Go Go @einstein_agogo]

Termites, aka “tiny cows”, release methane gas into the air. A bacteria living with them helps to “clean up their mess”, causing a minimal greenhouse gas footprint #science

[Eleonora Chiri @ele_chiri]

@kidney_tom @livhides @DrShaneRRR Sure did! Thanks everyone :)

[Eleonora Chiri @ele_chiri]

@kidney_tom @tinyscientist @einstein_agogo Ahaha thanks Tom! Your tiny #kidneys also got me!

[Eleonora Chiri @ele_chiri]

Ready, steady...tune in at 11 am on @3RRRFM!

[Dr Shane Huntington OAM @DrShaneRRR]

Going to air in just 30 minutes with this amazing group of 20 postdocs as part of #20phds20mins on @3RRRFM @einstein_agogo

#AcademicTwitter

[Eleonora Chiri @ele_chiri]

@FZMarques @DrShaneRRR Yes please 🤩

[Eleonora Chiri @ele_chiri]

Good vibes! Tomorrow is going to be fun, tune in! #20phds20mins, Sunday at 11 am on @3RRRFM

[Dr Shane Huntington OAM @DrShaneRRR]

Had a successful briefing session with this awesome group of postdocs today before our broadcast of the #20phds20mins tomorrow. Join us tomorrow at 11am on @3RRRFM
