Here is my #Introduction for #ScienceMastodon
I am ecologist interested in soil biodiversity and global change.
We work on many factors of global change, including: #climatechange #microplastics #pollution
Our focal organisms are #fungi and we work on saprobic fungi as well as on fungi forming #mycorrhiza

The NFDI4Microbiota Annual Conference 2026 will take place 15–17 September 2026 and will be a joint event with other biodata-related NFDI consortia.
Stay tuned for more details!
Score one more for human creativity (and microbial flair! 🦠).
The #AgarArt winners have been announced by the American Society for #Microbiology. This year's theme was " #Microbes Make the World Go Round", with professional, creator, and kids categories.
Beautiful and informative. The opposite of #AISlop

Esther Lederberg (December 18, 1922 – November 11, 2006) pioneered bacterial genetics, discovering lambda phage and F factor, inventing replica plating and furthered the understanding of the transfer of genes between bacteria by specialized transduction. She founded Stanford's Plasmid Reference Center. Despite groundbreaking work, she never got tenure and her discoveries are often credited to her Nobel laureate husband.
Selected through an international call for science communicators, I’m working alongside an international team of scientists from #geology and #microbiology. Operated by JAMSTEC/MARE3, the Chikyu is coring sediment from more than 7,600 m water depth in the hadal zone. These cores help uncover megathrust earthquake and tsunami histories, and offer new insights into deep-sea trenches, the #carbon cycle, and #climate.

🧵 “Exciting” isn’t enough to describe what I currently have the privilege to take part in. From now until Dec 12, I’m joining "Expedition 503 – Hadal Trench Tsunamigenic Slip History: Buried in Trench" of the IODP³. We’re in the Japan Trench on board the deep-sea scientific drilling vessel D/V Chikyu, one of the most advanced research vessels in the world.

I was very fortunate to collaborate with Jonatas Abrahao on this study, in which his group discovered a novel giant virus with remarkable morphology!
Few giant viruses with a tail have been characterized so far, but recent findings suggest that these structures may be more common than previously thought.
