ISME has a new award that acknowledges the achievements of Mid-career microbial ecologists. It is named after Sergei Winogradsky to honour his importance to our field. The award winner will be announced soon!

(1/n) An intense week at SZN Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn with EMBL Marine imaging meeting, Gravity machine workshops and EMBLtrec sampling comes to an end for me (lab members will continue). It’s rarely do I find a place so inspiring and carrying the original spirit of its founding days.

📢'The World Is Your Oyster' is for those who are born in global north countries--don't experience visa bureaucracy & emotional burden that non-white global south scholars do. Citizenship is a privilege that we need to recognize in the academe. 1/n

Every Iranian I ever met (and I met quite a few, in universities in Europe and the U.S) was extremely friendly and nice. It would be INSANE of me to identify them with their crazy leaders, who they probably hate. I don't understand why anyone confuses governments with civilians.

Fantastic and inspiring #EMBOmarineImaging in Naples at the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn with microscopists, marine biologists, cell biologists and EMBLtrec. Thanks to EMBO and Moore Foundation for their support, speakers, and Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn.

#EMBOmarineImaging #EMBLtrec

An amazing meeting focused on imaging in marine organisms - at one of my favorite marine station.. literally surrounded by history. #EMBOmarineimaging with Ellie and Hannah from the lab.

#EMBOmarineImaging is over & it was a blast. A lovely #community is taking shape with more beautiful imaging of protists to come.
Now for a week of Sampling #Ichthyosporeans #Plankton #PlanExM

We are pleased to present our latest publication in Cell, work led by Marine Laporte, in which we used U-ExM expansion microscopy and time-series reconstruction to reveal the structural assembly steps of the human centriole: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We just arrived with the #AML in the beautiful city of #Napoli for our EMBLtrec stay at the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn .
After the warm welcome we are looking forward to doing great science and enjoying the sight of the #Vesuvio for the next weeks.

Job positions funded by ERC available in the team to develop and apply cryo-electron tomography to study planktonic photosymbioses in Grenoble, collaboration with Benoit Gallet , Ben Engel EMBLtrec . Don't hesitate to spread ;) More info here:
