Such an excellent talk by @jamesemcdonald at the @BIFoRUoB conference. Amazing to see the team's work showcased and especially @FutureOak_ results coming together. Keep an eye out for these, it's going to be brilliant! @cenococcum @Alejandra211909

[Marine C. Cambon @marine_cambon]

I am very happy that the last paper from my postdoc with @Corinne_Vacher at @INRAE_BIOGECO is out in @molecology

[James McDonald @jamesemcdonald]

Had a great day in the lab with @Beth_Pettifor and @M_D_Carpenter setting up the final big experiment for the @synbiogas project

[Bethany @Beth_Pettifor]

Great talk from @jamesemcdonald in the @IMIBirmingham seminar series today! Brilliantly summarising the immense amount of work done by the APD team over the years! 🌳🧫

@Alejandra211909 presenting her work from the @FutureOak_ project on isolation of disease suppressive microbiota from oak trees #MMEG2022

[Alejandra Ordoñez @Alejandra211909]

After a long day, @Usman_Hussain_S and I managed to sample the 144th tree from the experimental site of #BACSTOP, a project investigating #oak #microbiomes and #AcuteOakDecline. We thought it was just fair to record our last time collecting oak samples!🌳🥺

A cheer up for my dear friend @Usman_Hussain_S who is trying to figure out his really cool but also very complicated experiment to determine the best method to PCR the 16S rRNA gene for microbiome studies in oak trees 🌳🦠🤔👨‍🔬 #AOD #phdlife #BangorSNS @MEEBangor

[David Fidler @fidlerdb]

Had a great time at #ISME18, and presented to my biggest audience so far! Lovely meeting (and partying with) so many microbial ecologists, and seeing the awesome talks and posters! 😁🇨🇭

[James McDonald @jamesemcdonald]

If you’re at #ISME18 and are Interested in insect-microbe-host interactions and how insect/host chemical cues may trigger bacterial pathogenicity in oak decline? Visit @marine_cambon ‘s poster (IPS19.458) today!

2nd Day at my First conference #ISME18 in Lausanne! Im excited to chat about our research on engineered landfill microbiomes for biogas production 🦠 ⛽️

[James McDonald @jamesemcdonald]

If you are at #ISME18 come visit our poster (PS13.163) on characterising engineered landfill microbiomes for biogas production @synbiogas @jamesemcdonald @M_D_Carpenter

Day 2 at #ISME18 in Lausanne! Feeling very excited to present my poster on plant-disease properties of oak microbial isolates 🌳🧫 @FutureOak_
@MEEBangor

[James McDonald @jamesemcdonald]

Finally made it to Geneva for #ISME18 after our flight yesterday was cancelled. On the last leg to Lausanne and looking forward to this afternoon’s talks

[Luke Hillary is now on Bluesky @lukehillary]

#ISME18 POSTER PLUG!

Interesting in RNA VIROMICS in SOIL?

Want to know the pros and cons of metatranscriptomics of purified virus like particles?

Interested in chatting soil RNA viral diversity?

Come see me at poster PS02.243 on Monday afternoon!

(also, DM me on twitter)

A 🧵 on burnout

Yesterday I learned that when people are burnt out, their amygdala enlarges. For all you non-neuroscientists, here's what that means and why it's important. 1/
