In our lab we do things differently. We work in the cloud (blog.fortunalab.org/working-in-the…). This means the data and the applications you need to analyze them will be available anytime from anywhere.

Git, as a version control system, allows lab members to revert and go back to an older version of the code. Let's see how to do from JupyterLab (blog.fortunalab.org/jupyterlab-git)

The JupyterLab GitHub extension (blog.fortunalab.org/jupyterlab-git…) allows lab members to select GitHub organizations and users, browse their repositories, and open the files in those repositories.

We do not need powerful desktop computers in our lab, just single connection points in the cloud. Learn how to build a silent, energy-efficient, and dual display workspace (blog.fortunalab.org/raspi-dual-dis…).

Very happy to share that our paper with Christian Kost is out today in Ecology Letters !! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

This study by Leonardo Oña & Christian Kost examined how microbial communities persist despite ecological disturbances using a population dynamics model. Their results suggest such perturbations are key drivers for shaping microbial interaction networks onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/el…

Cooperation increases robustness to ecological disturbance in microbial cross‐feeding networks onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

3D plots upset me so frequently that I made this teaching aid. #DataScience #Datavisualization

Today, André Bogdanowski very succesfully defended his PhD thesis. A super-interesting project finally comes to an end. Great colaboration with Karin Frank UFZ Uni Osnabrück. Thank you also Frank Hilker for having been part of the committee. #EvoCell

A fully funded PhD position is available in my lab: - 3 years - project: metabolic and regulatory drivers of metabolic cross-feeding interactions in microbial communities - deadline: 28.07.22 - experience in LC-MS analyses and/or transcriptomics is a plus uni-osnabrueck.de/universitaet/s…

BREAKING NEWS: The 2022 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Svante Pääbo “for his discoveries concerning the genomes of extinct hominins and human evolution.”

In case anyone needs to see a The Nobel Prize winner get tossed into a pond :) Congratulations, Svante!

This morning, everyone MPI-EVA Leipzig joined in to welcome and congratulate our very own #NobelPrize laureate, Svante Pääbo, one of our institute's founding directors and brilliant mind! We are totally ecstatic and delighted! 😊🥳🥰 Max Planck Society The Nobel Prize

European Conference on Ecological Modelling @ECEM_2023 Great line-up of speakers including Sara Mitri, Stephanie Kramer-Schadt, Benjamin Martin, Benjamin Martin... The call for abstracts is now open: ecem23.eu/callforabstrac…. Deadline is April 1, registration will open April 15.

I proudly present a new review paper of my group that just came out in Trends in Microbiology with Leonardo Oña and Shryli Shreekar Disentangling microbial interaction networks Open access link: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S09…

Exciting milestone! My first paper as part of the Kost Lab, co-authored with Leonardo Oña and Christian Kost , is now published in Trends in Microbiology Check it out here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I had a lot of fun presenting my first PhD poster Münster Evolution Meeting. Grateful for the positive feedback, validation and much needed motivation in this PhD rollercoaster! #MEM2025

I had a very nice opportunity to present some parts of my PhD project in the graduate excellence symposium of the Münster Evolution Meeting! 😊 #MEM2025
