@jbaumann3 CONGRATULATIONS, CASEY AND JUSTIN! I knew it was only a matter of when, not if- sorry it took this long nonetheless, but I hope you all have a wonderful life in Lewiston, Maine!

Spread the word and mark your calendars! Cnidofest 2024 will happen August 14-17th at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA! We have kicked planning into high gear and we look forward to seeing everyone in 6 months!

[JP Balmonte @jpbacteria]

@algaealex Alex- thank YOU for making this work possible!

[Alex Korbobo @algaealex]

This week members of @jpbacteria’s lab tested #microplastic monitoring protocols for our project in the Schuylkill River — researching spatiotemporal differences in #microbial and #biogeochemical processes along the #freshwatermarinecontinuum, especially those relevant to MP!

@zenanaut !!! Safe travels to you and the team! We, land-bound humans, will miss you during your mission!

Meet the @NASA_Astronauts heading to the @Space_Station on NASA's @SpaceX Crew-9 mission!

Zena Cardman, Nick Hague, and Stephanie Wilson are scheduled to lift off no earlier than this August: https://t.co/x4Fb5jCIeS

How stable are bacterial genomes as they adapt to an environment? My collaboration with @anuraglimdi, @EvolSys, @RELenski, and @ten_olivier exploring this over 50,000 generations of evolution is out today!

Nice commentary from Chris Kempes @sfiscience on our lab's recent paper with @sayra_spinhalf and @AshishBGeorge1. Great overview and puts our work in a bigger picture of the recent discoveries in the macroecology of microbiomes: https://t.co/kh4r5WEg5I

Pulsed inputs of high molecular weight organic matter shift the mechanisms of substrate utilisation in marine bacterial communities https://t.co/XTXs7mm79G

[Jianjun Wang @jianjunwang]

It is challenging to predict how organic matter #DOM respond to #climatechange. Here we develop an indicator to quantify aggregated thermal response of individual organic molecules, and show how their thermal responses are linked to #warming, #nutrient loading and #GHG
