#NewPI #Microbiology #Archaea Let's talk about methane-producing archaea and how they survive in limiting conditions. Thanks Mark Balendres for the invitation.

📢 I am recruiting a #postdoc #PDRA in Arctic soil microbial ecology 📢 Join Natural Environment Research Council U.S. National Science Foundation project SUN SPEARS to investigate how seasonal processes shape Arctic soils 🦠🧬❄️ Queen Mary University of London London, UK Closing: 11 Jul Pls RT! qmul.ac.uk/jobs/vacancies…

🚨ANOTHER Job alert!🚨 Are you looking for a #postdoc at the interface of #microbiology and #isotope #geochemistry? We're hiring! Three-year, fully funded (by HFSP) position at @ETH_ERDW looking at O isotopes of "dark O2" in groundwater. Spread the word! jobs.ethz.ch/job/view/7533?…

I audibly snorted.

Is your research related to exploring the Martian interior and you're still deciding where to submit your #AGU23 abstract? Look no further than the #NewMarsUnderground! Abstract submission deadline is 02 Aug 2023. Link to the session: agu.confex.com/agu/fm23/preli…

I'm very excited to share this #preprint via Research Square: Hydrogenotrophic Methanogenesis at 7-12 mbar by Methanosarcina barkeri under Simulated Martian Atmospheric Conditions TL;DR: we successfully grew a methanogen at Martian surface conditions researchsquare.com/article/rs-322…

"We are here to dive on three known hydrothermal fields. These fields were discovered nearly 17 years ago and we will be some of the first researchers to bring back a whole set of samples." Check out Week One Video for #GalapagosVents youtu.be/CyUTT1a7yrc?si…

The FAS Postdoctoral Association Board has voted unanimously to endorse the formation of Harvard Academic Workers- UAW (HAW-UAW) (harvardacademicworkers.org) - a union that would include postdocs, as well as other non-tenure track academic workers across Harvard. (1/6)

Academic publishing: where you write a 2-page defense of your choice of model organism to Reviewer 2 only for them to kill the paper with “I still don’t like the bug you used for this study.” Anyway, check out my #preprint drama: researchsquare.com/article/rs-322…

I'm delighted to announce that our latest publication is out (and, like nearly every paper from our lab, is open access)! In this paper, Dr. Jessica Mitchell Jessica Mitchell and our colleagues reveals how the sulfur-oxidizing symbionts use their TWO carbon fixation pathways and

Our NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover Mars rover has found an interesting rock that could be one of the best signs yet that ancient microbial life may have once existed on the Red Planet. However, we'll need to do more research to know for sure: go.nasa.gov/3zZhsiX
