PROSPECTOMICS

The project intends to develop a radically new approach to #Hydrocarbon (HC) prospecting based on #molecularbiology techniques. #H2020 funded.

Good advice from someone (@GeoMicroSoares) who once did a PhD:
The next time you spend hours in the lab, see it as time for focussed meditation. If it doesn't work, @unidue is working on a robot solution. But listen by yourself! 🧘

[PROSPECTOMICS @prospectomics]

Congratulations to the team of @ProbstLab for meaningfully condensing a lot of #metagenomics knowledge into this summer school. Participants not only have learned about the benefits of e.g. long read #sequencing, they found hands on experience and likeminded peers 🙏

[PROSPECTOMICS @prospectomics]

#Competition in the scientific world is undeniable.
After all, we all want to gain recognition and make an impact. But we must not forget the true purpose of science: Advancing knowledge for the benefit of society. We appreciate Wei Xiu's attitute towards collaboration very much.

[PROSPECTOMICS @prospectomics]

There are loads of cases, where the #nanopore is of major use. Wei Xiu, Andrea Garvetto and Kerstin Wilhelm from @SSommerLab , participants of our summer school, confirm. If there are any questions get in contact 🙂

[PROSPECTOMICS @prospectomics]

Attention! @AlexJProbst will not reveal our top secret recent findings from @ProbstLab in this video! But Johannes Ho is sharing his happiness about not destroying the #nanopore device the first time he handled it.

[PROSPECTOMICS @prospectomics]

We'd encourage everyone to take part in summer schools and workshops as the benefit of team efforts exceeds one on one teaching.

#Metagenomics can be a tool to better understand the anthropogenic disturbances affecting wildlife. We hope we could help Kerstin and the @SSommerLab on their mission.

The scientists @ProbstLab @unidue are contributing to a shrinkage of the DNA amount needed for sequencing, enabling not only detection of microbes at the seafloor, but also pathogens early in the contagion phase and incubation period. (among a vast number of other use cases)

[PROSPECTOMICS @prospectomics]

We've been talking a lot about #nanopore lately because, when paired with our protocol, it's an amazing tool for metagenomics! Watch as more participants from our summer school share their delight in taking the course.

@AGLycosylation @SSommerLab

[PROSPECTOMICS @prospectomics]

Even though #sequencing can be a repetitive job, at some days the whole protocol is new and exciting. @GeoMicroSoares is explaining some steps towards using the Oxford #Nanopore Technology that were practiced at our Summer School.

[PROSPECTOMICS @prospectomics]

We were delighted to attract diverse researchers towards our latest summer school. Meet two participants Andrea Garvetto and Johannes Ho who are covering the topics of plant parasites🌿🐛and water safety🤽‍♀️. Stay tuned to learn about more usecases for Oxford #Nanopore Technology.

[PROSPECTOMICS @prospectomics]

We've been teaching #nanopore sequencing to a very diverse audience at our summer school @unidue . @AlexJProbst introduces.

With the help of radio isotopes, direct turnover measurements allow us to measure #microbial activity in sediments. Have a peek!

High level of precision at the end of the clip, @psammentt ! May your learnings being applied at @univienna 😊

Sara @SEAnthonySci naming a fraction of all analysis that we focussed on in our #Biogeochemistry Summer School: Sulfate speciation, porewater analysis, alkalinity, anions/cations... but see for yourself!

Kabiru Nata'ala Muhammad @Nataala007 about the various benefits of #geomicrobiology skills, even for society, while he visited the Prospectomics Summer School at @GFZ_Potsdam

[PROSPECTOMICS @prospectomics]

Annegret Just about the value she got from the recent #Biogeochemistry Summer School!
Thanks for your kind interview! It was a pleasure to have you here at @GFZ_Potsdam

[PROSPECTOMICS @prospectomics]

The Biogeochemistry Summer School at the @GFZ_Potsdam ended sucessfully.

Over the course of two weeks, the students learned various techniques that can be used to assess the #biogeochemistry of #marine sediments.

Here is our first sneak peek!
