Bats 🦇 and plastics 🫙
i.e., doctoral researcher (microbe–plastic interactions; Uni of Warwick) recently transitioned from academia to bat monitoring. 😊
Check out the first microbes (proks and euks) that colonise #plastics within the first hours in coastal marine waters. Those that seed the Plastispheres! Work from @m_latva

PhD vacancy in my lab working at the intersect of Minerals-Microbes-Plastics…if your curious, creative and concerned about this global environmental issue… join us @Geology_UCPH@science_ku as part of a new project funded by @Carlsbergfondet … https://t.co/LGGh8wuzEp
‼️ I'm starting a lab at the University of South Florida's College of Marine Science @USFCMS in St. Pete next Summer! We will study microbial interactions in a changing ocean with multi 'omics and microscopy. Opportunities for MS and PhD students, DM! 🦠🧪🔬🌊❤️ #sciencedreams
I couldn't have left @Munelectro's group without contributing to the topic of bioelectricity. Very exciting indeed and I hope to keep working on it in the future. For now, check this preprint on modulating bacteria membrane potential with light!
#isme18 come and see @viel_theo 's poster 143 today on polypropylene degradation. Rhodococcus is definitely an interesting bug with enormous potential. Work in progress
Ping #microplastics#plasticpollution peeps!!! Our #plastics team at Gov't of Canada is starting to hire plastic pollution expertise!!! Come work with us!! 1 of 2 currently posted positions! https://t.co/iTo3MvjmUY
If you weren’t in the workshop, you can find our metagenome taxonomic/functional tutorial here (and I’ve updated to work even if you don’t have access to the workshop servers): https://t.co/fdeQuliNsC

Could any Gibson Assembly peeps help me out? I'm currently trying to assemble 4 PCR-amplified fragments (2923 bp, 714 bp, 500 bp and 1267 bp), but no luck. One of the fragments is a TcR marker, so my new construct should be TetR. Any tips/suggestions? #AcademicTwitter
Do you enjoy rivers and want to be a scientist for a day? We are looking for river water samples. If you want to be involved in the project collecting a sample, send us a request for a sampling kit. #CitizenScience#pollution#AMR

Scientists have managed to power a microprocessor continuously for a year – and counting – using ALGAE!
The new system has potential as a renewable way to power large numbers of small devices as part of the Internet of Things.
