Hi @elonmusk, How will life evolve on Mars? 🧬We now explore how Earth's life responds to space environments to predict its future. Thanks to NASA's Open Science Initiative to make the data and analysis tools available. 🚀 @NASAGeneLab #OccupyMars #MarsGamePlan

Great to see the next part of the aurodox story out there. Great team effort led by @DavidRcoMark!

Ever wonder how many bacteria live in your gut?

EMBL researchers have created a machine-learning model to estimate the density of microbes in faeces and used it to show that microbial load can strongly influence disease-microbe associations.

As part of the ‘Emerging Opportunities’ issue of the Microbiology Society’s Microbiology Today magazine, I wrote an article on Space Microbiology’s potential to support space exploration and address terrestrial issues around health and sustainability.

The big child made a sandworm costume. There’s no holes for hands so they fully intend to dish the sweeties out to the kids through the maw. This is going to be some wee wean’s first memory of Halloween.

Anyone else feel gaslit by all their electronic devices when the clocks change? The oven is the only thing left in our house that doesn’t do it by itself. Not sure how I’ll feel when that last bastion of manual timekeeping goes.

@RyanTScott Will do!

Thoroughly enjoyed chatting about Space Microbiology with the Microbiology Society- thanks for having me on the podcast!

[Microbiology Society @MicrobioSoc]

It was #WSW2024 this week, so Microbe Talk is up in space, asking @KatherineBaxter about #AMR, how dirty the ISS actually is and how space biology can help people down on earth. Get your microscopes and telescopes ready and listen here https://t.co/7DnK5UEJUk 🔬🔭

If anyone wants some harrowing 80s drama on nuclear war, the BBC are showing ‘Threads’ tonight at 10pm. Never saw it as a kid, don’t know if I want to see it as an adult…

🚨 New paper alert 🚨

We hosted Ana Rita Pereira from @UPorto in our lab earlier this year, where she used cross-scale imaging methods to study the effects of parabens and chlorine on drinking water biofilms.

Collab now published in @SciTotEnv 🔬
