@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

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.

"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."

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.
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
@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.
"Culture: the arts & other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively"-Dictionary.com. Simply by naming a group of cultivated microorganisms as a culture we gave it a title that denoted our great respect for the collective power of these cells
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
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
