Oil into gases? No problem for this "miracle microbe". Now we also know how: Researchers cultivated & scrutinized the archaeon that converts oil into gas all by itself – and have encountered some surprises.

Whaddup #sciencetwitter! Had a short 9 hours stoppover Amsterdam Airport Schiphol so I only spent 4 of them trying to come up with something clever to say 🥲

Me: Science is a serious career path about investigating the mysteries of the universe Also me: Can’t even spell underwater right

Here is a shameless quid pro quo. We started a little project to describe technical terms commonly used in microbial 'omics: anvio.org/vocabulary/ Now we want your help to expand it: github.com/merenlab/anvio… In return, we will send you #anvio stickers?

Some planets are tidally locked to their stars. One side always faces its sun and is bathed in perpetual daylight; on the other side, of course, darkness never ends. Earth is lucky, every night has its day. Set your clocks forward tonight and spring toward the light!

It's that time of year again and we're getting ready to depart to AMOR! Watch this page for updates on the expedition activities as we survey vent fields along the Ridge. @CDeepSea @VentSeepFauna Dr. Eoghan P. Reeves Runar Stokke Photo credit:Stian Torset

Glad to be joining the Eco-Safe Ridge Mining Project project group from deepsea for the GS2022 expedition to the Arctic mid ocean ridge 🌋🌊 #Science #deepsea

When you realise the “cruise” in #research cruise is ironic

Congratulations to Tomás Alarcón Schumacher for winning a poster prize at the #EMBOarchaea conference in Frankfurt! Erdmann Lab

Kicking off the first night of #ISME18: Figure 1. Part of the A. Murat Eren (Meren) lab and @MarineMicrobio1, a novel consortia feeding on Korean BBQ-derived carbon and nitrogen. Chyrene Moncada @mgrace808 Stian Torset Emily Fogarty Florian Trigodet Michael Yu Iva Veseli Samuel E. Miller

Looking forward to updating the fine attendees of #ISME18 on the state of research regarding the biogenic formation of amorphous carbon/disordered graphite! Drop by poster 327 today and/or my poster pitch tomorrow and have a chat! Deep Sea Ecology and Technology Group (Habitat)

Deep Sea Ecology and Technology Group (Habitat) at #ISME18 - what a fantastic week! 🦠🙂 Many thanks to the organizers, event staff and beautiful #Lausanne from Christina Bienhold Gunter Wegener Hanna Zehnle David BM Stian Torset Matthias Wietz @EmilRuff

After a warm welcome by Prof. Holger Braunschweig at University of Würzburg, today's program of the Welcome & Networking Event included insights into research, lab tours and different workshops such as on science communication or career development. #HFA #Youngscientist #research

When your crazy Arctic deep-sea vent fluid sampling makes the front cover of Oceanography Society magazine, March issue… #swoon 🥲🤤🙏❤️ #HACON #nerdVogue #JackpaintmelikeoneofyourIGTs #NFRfunded Norges forskningsråd UiB Earth Science deepsea REV Ocean

Excited to share our contribution to the ever-developing #eukaryogenesis story in our latest preprint from PhD students Joshua Mills @ljgebhard! We identify a key protein that links archaeal vesicle production to eukaryotic intracellular membrane trafficking. Go check it out!
