2nd paper of 2021 🥳 One of the dozens of novel species that I isolated from Antarctic environments during my PhD doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.… #microbiology Microbiology Society #bacteria #Novel #new

Third paper of 2021 accepted 🥳🥳🥳 #Describing this #new #phototrophic genus started in 2016 and cost tons of blood, sweat and tears. It also took culture collections 18 months to preserve our #strains, because they are little ****ers... Luckily the review process went swiftly

Latest paper from my #PhD #isolation #campaign is out 🥳 We described a #Novel #phototrophic #genus exclusively found in #cold #snowy environments which we called Chioneia, after the goddess of snow. Beware, the paper is LONG!! Microbiology doi.org/10.1016/j.syap…

A bit late today, but here is today's piece, a very well-written and organized review of all you want to know about Archae #SciAdventCalenda

Linking research on Archaea & Bacteria depends on stability in their naming. Without it, scientific progress is impeded. Check out the comment of Karen Lloyd and me in Nature Reviews Microbiology on why Science depends on nomenclature, but nomenclature is not science nature.com/articles/s4157…

Here's a commentary that Guillaume Tahon and I wrote about my thread below. Someday universal polyphasic taxonomy will embrace badly-behaved microbes. Until then . . . my papers will list about 4 names per microbe. nature.com/articles/s4157…

Asking for a friend: Any companies in #Brugge area (#Belgium #Belgie ) looking to hire a talented photographer? Please share and RT. #photography #Jobs #Fotografie #vacature

Has anyone recently done metagenomics/metatranscriptomics with Illumina and/or Nanopore, with an external company? I'd need some price estimates for the budget of a proposal. Dm me for more info. Thanks a lot in advance!

It's a wrap! Together with twitterless Ben I organized the food & drinks for the #Joepie30 festival event. Our amazing team took perfect care of almost 4000 hungry teens after they had walked 100km in 4 days in search of city X #happy #delicious #Food #catering #KSA #friendship

Sadly, all good things come to an end and I'll be leaving Thijs J. G. Ettema 🦠🔬🇳🇱🇸🇪🇪🇺 in a couple of months. Therefore, I'm looking for a new (long-term/permanent) challenge starting mid October focusing on #microbiology #cultivation #Bioinformatics #metagenomics etc.
