Richard Feynman's Lectures on Physics are timeless: their main strength is in demonstrating how to reason about physics.

Did you know that drinking water in the Netherlands contains no chlorine? 🚰 Its production relies mainly on biological unit operations that harbour biofilms 🦠 High population densities, strong selective pressures... Are we spreading ARGs and ARBs? 🚨 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Speaking about N2O respiring bacteria on the radio at 2.30 am is the ultimate proof of a PhD candidate's dedication! Literally rocking it Nina Roothans TU Delft Faculteit TNW / Faculty of Applied Sciences

This Reddit post hit me hard.

And this was supposed to be just a quick side experiment...thanks Nina Roothans for making our lives even more complex with aerobic denitrification!!!

Nice talking to Horizon Magazine about our SchiSTOP project and great to hear about other amazing research on schistosomiasis vaccines! vasaproject.net/vasa-consortiu…

Where ever one looks there are still new microbial conversions to observe. In this case iron oxidation coupled to reduction of nitrate to nitrite in a drinking water filter by Candidatus Siderophilus nitratireducens by Francesc Corbera Rubio et al. Faculteit TNW / Faculty of Applied Sciences biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Francesc Corbera Rubio beautifully presenting a nap-dependent nitrate-reducing iron oxidizer from a new order @mewe2023

So nice to present and discuss N2O microbial ecology @mewe2023 !

Today I received the reviewer comments for a paper we submitted to ISME Communications. They were insightful, thorough, and full of suggestions on how to improve the paper. A heartful thank you to reviewer 2 for making me believe in the peer-review process again!

I am hiring! Fully funded, 100 % curiosity driven PhD project on N2O microbiology and nitrogen intermediates. Together with Mark van Loosdrecht  and Jules van Lier TU Delft TU Delft Civil Engineering and Geosciences Faculteit TNW / Faculty of Applied Sciences tinyurl.com/bioN2O

Biofiltration and iron removal are already long time applied. A detailed study showed that stimulating biological iron oxidation over chemical oxidation generate significant operational advantages. Solid work by Simon Muller and team TU Delft Water Research sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Finally out The ISME Journal 🥳 academic.oup.com/ismej/article/… We show that aerobic denitrification can significantly contribute to nitrogen turnover and N2O emissions 🌡️🌍 in dynamic oxygen environments
