101 Israeli hostages are still in Gaza right now. Any ceasefire deal must include bringing them home asap. cnn.com/2024/10/06/wor…

I may lose followers for this post. I don't care. It's been a whole year and 101 Israelis are still held hostage in Gaza. Only a couple of weeks ago 6 of them were executed so they wouldn't be rescued. They were emaciated. This can't go on. Bring them all back now.

Cool to see new tools focusing on harder to identify viruses. Looking forward giving BEREN a shot! Will Luthien be next? BEREN: A bioinformatic tool for recovering Giant viruses, Polinton-like Viruses, and Virophages in metagenomic data biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our department is hiring a tenure track/associate professor in plant diseases! I'm not in this specific section but feel free to reach out with general questions. I love it here. agro.au.dk/aktuelt/ledige…

Great news! Two of my research projects got the funding. Two new openings (1 PhD and 1 Post doc) will be advertised in early 2025 and if you are interested in soil biogeochemistry and nutrient cycling in arid ecosystems, reach out. AcademicAgJobs Academic Chatter™

Interested in discovering new viruses from soil that may be affecting global carbon sequestration? Apply for a PhD position with me at Aarhus University in Flakkebjerg! Our group is very international, supportive and friendly. phd.tech.au.dk/for-applicants…

SIP friends: does anyone have experience with Eppendorf (formerly Koki) himac ultracentrifuges? I'm considering buying the CP80NX but only have personal experience with Beckman and Sorval.

Cool! SAR11 phylogenomics and so many new (almost) complete genomes! Wish I could see the sup info for how 16S compares between them. Guess I'll have to be patient... biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Lab's first preprint! #newPI We show that viruses are not merely passive hitchhikers but active agents that recycle carbon fixed by productive chemoautotrophs, shaping our understanding of carbon and nutrient cycling in redox-active ecosystems.
