In our #ECRViromics November lecture on 08 Nov 2023 (together with OSU Center of Microbiome Science and EMERGE), Paul Rivarez Mark Paul Selda Rivarez will speak about virus hunting beyond the traditional. #viromics #datamining Register now: evbc.uni-jena.de/events/ecr-vir…

Will you be attending #AGU23? Join us on Wed, Dec 15th for Session B31D to learn more about #microbial responses to #ecosystem change and improving microbial biogeochemistry-climate feedbacks in #models! agu.confex.com/agu/fm23/meeti…

I’m so grateful for the dedicated souls who are attending our workshop on #TeamScience #SciTS at 8am on Sunday #AGU23 EMERGE Ruth Varner Dr. Anne Mook (she/her)

#AGU23 Why do we prefer "community agreements" over "codes of conduct"? Because we want all team members to feel that they have a role in making team experiences and fieldwork something positive for all. EMERGE #InclusivityInScience #FieldSafety U.S. National Science Foundation Ruth Varner

Join us at #AAASmtg for a panel discussion on: Microbiome-Targeted Ecosystem Management: Small Players, Big Roles with Ruth Varner, Virginia Rich, Raquel Peixoto, @Lab_Sullivan, Dr. Rebecca Vega Thurber and Plant-Insect Microbiomes Lab!

Throwback Thursday! Can’t believe that just a month ago we were in beautiful Arizona at Biosphere 2 for our 2nd annual EMERGE retreat! What a great way to jumpstart 2024!! 🏔️🌵☀️🔬 #ecosystems #SciTS #microbiology #biogeochemistry

Out now in Nature Microbiology, from Bridget McGivern and the EMERGE team. We investigated a long held view in peatland systems- the enzyme latch theory- from a microbial perspective.

(2/n) We showed microbial polyphenol metabolism is more dynamic than previously thought, likely involving multiple enzymes and oxygen-dependent and independent pathways. We also ID'ed 'talented' microbial genomes that seemed to be well equipped for using polyphenols in the field.

(3/n) Many questions remain (ex. the rates? the fate of polyphenol carbon?)-- but to answer these, we first needed to know what was happening! To facilitate discovery, we provide CAMPER for users to more easily 'see' polyphenol genes in their datasets. github.com/WrightonLabCSU…

A future without microbes? Unthinkable! In fact, many microbe-based technologies are indispensable for the future. #SDGs EMERGEnts, Virginia Rich and @Lab_Sullivan were part of a global call to action Cell: cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

We’ve had a great time at the 7th International Viromics Workshop with OSU Center of Microbiome Science! Thank you for letting us be a part of it! 🦠🔬 @Lab_Sullivan #OSUScience
