@Justinec_Caulo @DMF_UNIL @FBM_UNIL Congrats!!!!

[Ian Sanders @iansanders64]

A very exciting presentation at #icom12 by @KatieField4 about how biotic interactions are influenced by mycorrhizal networks. Nice to see the functioning of such complex interactions are now finally better understood. Such exciting work!!

[Dr. César Marín @cesarmarin203]

Don’t miss tomorrow our workshop “Natural selection in mycorrhizal symbioses” at @ICOM_12 #ICOM12 @mycorrhiza_ims Hall C, 16:00-17:30. It includes me, @OtterdijkSander (@Kokkoris_Vas lab), #LetianWang (Gu Feng’s lab), #JimBever (lead of @FungiInvam), & #NancyCollinsJohnson

Fascinating to learn about Manchester’s industrial history at the science museum during #ICOM12 but also with some sad facts about workers and slaves but also some amazing female scientists.

Ruoyu Hu from @unil shows #icom12 her new tool for adapting arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal strains to high heavy metal concentrations

Here’s just a few examples of Daily Mail headlines that have fanned the flames of hate and normalised Islamophobic and anti-migrant rhetoric #GMB

Thank you @snsf_ch for honoring our video game 'Microbiomes'! 🦠🎮 This was a great collaboration with the 🇨🇭 game developer @Koboldgames . This educational game is free for download on phones and tablets 👇

A better understanding of microbes: @NCCRMicrobiomes has received one of the SNSF’s #LighthouseAwards 🏆 for its efforts to raise awareness and promote scientific communication. To teach children about microbes, it has created a video game.

[Ian Sanders @iansanders64]

Ricardo Arraiano Castilho @unil @NCCRMicrobiomes presents about metaT and metaG-omics to study cross-kingdom interactions in soil microbiomes at #icom12

[Ian Sanders @iansanders64]

Soon-Jae Lee from @unil demonstrates at #ICOM12 that plants, AM fungi and rhizosphere microbiomes have synchronised circadian clocks and surprisingly even arbuscule formation follows a circadian rhythm.

[Caroline Gutjahr @carogutj]

Are you interested in nutrient transport and its regulation in arbuscular mycorrhiza symbiosis between plants and fungi? We are looking for two Postdocs for the ERC project SymbioticExchange: https://t.co/JdiErFhWYZ

[Matthias C. Rillig @mrillig]

Awesome!

A postdoc vacancy - interaction between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and bacteria - to be filled asap

One of the best “non-scientific” things about this project is that we get to do it in Quindio coffee region of Colombia where we also get to drink some of the best coffee in the world.

[Ian Sanders @iansanders64]

It’s taken a long time and trying many different protocols but we have finally managed to transfer 70 different genotypes of #cassava from in vitro to the field for GWAS experiments with #mycorrhiza and #microbiome @NCCRMicrobiomes @DEE_UNIL with @bionotasun @UNALOficial

[Ian Sanders @iansanders64]

@vandeHeijdenLab @NatureMicrobiol @SteffiLutz @NBodenhausen @KSchlaeppi A really fantastic and important study. Great work!!
