Sad to hear of the passing of the great scientist, Thomas Brock. Thank you for the massive work you did to advance the field of extremophile research.

Researchers Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL), with @environmicrobio & Qian Wang Montana State University published a new mRNA-FISH protocol. fliFISH uses on/off cycles of photo-switch dyes to set predetermined threshold for distinguishing true signal from background noise.

Here is a radical idea: How about requiring senior faculty to express their commitments & contributions to DEI before asking junior faculty and applicants to write DEI statements that many aren’t even qualified to evaluate because they have never done the work I said it 🙊

The enrollment procedure Biology of Extreme Environments Unina Federico II for European and Italian students is now open! Come join us to study the most remote locations of our planet! bioextreme.it #masterprogram #master #masterdegree #university #astrobiology #extremeenvironments

CRISPR technologies are powerful gene editing tools because they are programmable. We are excited to describe 3 new programmable systems, IscB, IsrB, and TnpB, some of the most abundant genes on the planet, with potential for gene editing. Science Magazine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Please RT. The Danish HADAL & @Nordcee at Univ. Southern Denmark is looking for 3 PhD students to study: Microbial Metabolisms in Deep Sea & Hadal Systems; Deep-Sea Microbial Degradation of Organic Matter; Benthic Carbon & Nutrient Cycling After Sediment Resuspension. 1/n

#Biofilm research is booming! Since the founding of the #CBE in 1990, the number of biofilm papers published has grown from 206 to a staggering 83,578. #biofilmfirst #MontanaState

For the first time ever, a spacecraft has flown into the sun's atmosphere and lived to tell the tale. Exhilarating footage from NASA’s Parker Solar Probe as it sails through streamers of plasma w/ temps of several million degrees F in the sun's corona

Hello, do you follow us and have an Instagram? If so, please follow our new TBI Instagram account for more research on life in extreme environments! instagram.com/msuextremebio/

Great opportunity for those working on agnostic biosignatures and approaches for detecting life as we don't know it to present their work at #AbSciCon22! Submit an abstract here by Jan 19th: agu.confex.com/agu/abscicon21… #astrobiology #NFoLD

First issue of the The ISME Journal showing the image I took of the multicellular magnetotactic bacteria I study. The image will grace the cover of the journal for the entire year of 2022! What an honor! Huge thanks to @environmicrobio for the opportunity!

Congratulations to rockstar PhD candidate Hannah Goemann for being awarded a NIFA predoctoral fellowship to torture some plants (as we do!) and examine plant-microbe interactions and root exudates!!!! 👏 🥳
