@STCmicrobeblog @LupoLabs @AnneAMadden @christo71213435 This is an image of yeast from one sourdough starter.. this particular starter had >1 abundant yeast! Not sure what species the little white one is. On average, starters contained 1.7 yeast species.

And, if you would prefer to HEAR the sourdough data, artist Jude Casseday has produced an incredible album of soundscapes based on the data and findings! #sciart

@am_oliverio @LaurenMNichols @doteachlearn @n_kfoury @MNDaniels24 @DoRealScience @AnneAMadden @LRShap @RRobDunn @NoahFierer @LupoLabs Agreed! So wonderful to be a part of this very special team.

Very excited our sourdough microbiome paper is out in @eLife today! https://t.co/WfA1WOuqJo

Humans have relied on sourdough starter microbial communities to make bread for thousands of years, but only a small fraction of global sourdough biodiversity has been characterized.

@AnneAMadden Woah. Very cool!!

If you are wondering how to help, amplify voices especially the untold stories but better yet DONATE to @Blklivesmatter, a local bail fund, @BBFounders, @Code2040, or @projectinclude. We have made donations to the @NAACP and @BlackGirlsCode. #BlackLivesMatter

"Women would often be photographed working in machine rooms and in laboratories, but when it came time to write up the results of that work...or even caption the photographs, their identities were usually not seen as very important."

@LaurenMNichols @AnneAMadden @simonsinek I love this!!! Definitely cheering for you @LaurenMNichols. Plus we already know our team can do a human pyramid, so we’re good cheerleaders.

[Benjamin Wolfe @LupoLabs]

Grateful for accessible @DOEKBase tools for teaching undergrad basics of bacterial genomics. Especially useful right now for online microbiology labs. Happy to share our simple sourdough bacterial genomics activity with anyone interested! Reach out to me or @landisea

Can’t wait to see these pollinator gardens @TuftsUniversity mature over the years. Thanks to all the people behind #PollinateTufts for starting these on-campus native gardens.

[Tufts Pollinator Initiative @PollinateTufts]

Our second @TuftsUniversity #pollinator garden has been planted right outside @TischLibrary! If you’re around campus, make the most of this last day of #PollinatorWeek and check it out. Let us know if you see anything flying around! #PollinateTufts

@eco_genome @LupoLabs Thanks so much for illustrating the talk @eco_genome! So skillfully done and fun. Looking forward to your poster!

[Elizabeth Landis @landisea]

@osilander Really excited about your cool sourdough project! @am_oliverio analyzed the amplicon and metagenomic data, may be able to better answer your questions about sequencing.

[Elizabeth Landis @landisea]

@racheljdutton @LupoLabs Thanks! Sorry to have missed you!

Hey Folks, We are beginning a project to survey arthropods in homes around the world (through iNaturalist). Give it a go. Do you have species in your home we haven’t yet seen in other homes? https://t.co/RTsbS2rwaU

It’s an extra special treat that some of the most powerful chemicals microbes produce (antibiotics, anticancer meds,& antioxidants) just happen to also be beautiful to the eyes as well as the brain. Their pigments range from bubblegum pink to deep violet. https://t.co/BIE63ekcdx

So excited to see everyone on Thursday at MicroChefs @HarvardMuseum! We're bringing some of our favorite food microbes to show and smell. https://t.co/bTsBy6SfHc

[Dr. Scott Chimileski @socialmicrobes]

Already 120 tickets sold for 21+ event @HarvardMuseum on 7/19, w/ space for 200! Beer, wine & food, plus presentations by @landisea & @estherrosemille from @LupoLabs & @AeronautBrewing. Myself & Microbial Life co-curator Roberto Kolter will be there too! https://t.co/Di3vS6LEpA

A tree-sized tree: what a GREAT addition to a foray, thanks David Hibbett. Really gives you perspective on what we're finding #FungalGRC2018 #Evolution #ItAllMakesSense #ExceptForMaybeSlimeMolds
