Spending #Midsommarafton working on my revison for the #microbes of the #plastisphere special issue in @Environmicrobi💻🦠

Great work by phd-candidate May Linn Buberg @UniNMBU 😃Dissertation next ✨#AMR #PhD @FrontMicrobiol https://t.co/aFSlS0xsmQ

A good reminder to myself and others what we actually produce over the years @AnkiLlarena 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻#publishing

"A further worry is that by offloading thinking to automated chatbots, researchers might lose the ability to articulate their own thoughts. "

Many scientists are using ChatGPT to increase productivity, but others remain wary. “If you believe that this technology has the potential to be transformative, then I think you have to be nervous about it,” says computational biologist @GreeneScientist https://t.co/GOsGo079s3

It's finally here!! Our Method of the Year 2022 is....long-read sequencing! 🎉

Read our (free!) Editorial to learn why we felt the time was right to select this class of powerful technologies as the Method of the Year.

Cool results from @UniNMBU. But is it basic research? Is it applied? Does that distinction really matter?
Forskere “håper særlig de kan løse meieriindustriens store problemer med at bakteriesporene danner biofilm.”

Reist inn i de svenske skoger for å få inspirasjon til ny søknad til @forskningsradet. Morgenbad i jaccuzi gjør underverker❄️@plastpath

"Biologist and chemists most work hand in hand towards an improved hazard assessment of microplastics" #NAMC

[Ingun Lund Witsø @plastpath]

Are microplastics hot-spots for AMR-genes? That is one question ⁦@plastpath⁩ will adress. #plastispheres #resistome ⁦@UniNMBU⁩ https://t.co/ggD11xc0DE

Microbes of the plastisphere, paper in progress. In a small boathouse overlooking the ocean. #microplastic #plastisphere @plastpath

Congratulation to Janne with great results on her masters exam🤩A milestone in the #Plastpath project.

Microplastics found in human blood for first time https://t.co/9rfpyZnOaQ

[Ingun Lund Witsø @plastpath]

Humans ingest microplastic through food and water. What happens with the tiny hitchhikers colonizing the microplastic when they enter the human body? This is the main research question of @plastpath @UniNMBU #microplastics
