Looking for a new #postdoc in #Phycology & #Seaweed research on the methane mitigating #Asparagopsis Scripps Institution of Oceanography Please share widely! Excited for next steps!

Proud to present that the 11th sponge conference will be held October 10-14 2022 at Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Leiden, The Netherlands. Website and deadlines in prep!! #sponge @Naturalis_Sci Naturalis Marine Biodiversity @Detmer_Sipkema @Porifarma @RonaldOsinga

Our work led by (the amazing) Gabe describing a new manumycin-type compound— pacificamide!— and its unique & interesting gene cluster from the marine actinobacteria Salinispora is out now: tinyurl.com/pacificamide 🦠⚗️🧬

Happy #PhycologyFriday! We are looking to recruit another postdoc for our research on #Asparagopsis (see video below). Looking for expertise in #Seaweed #populationgenetics, #genomics, #biochemistry and #aqauaculture. Email CV to: [email protected] youtube.com/watch?v=Gzb2cr…

Wonderful hosting 37 microbiology PhD students from Wageningen U&R at Scripps Institution of Oceanography today to share science and network with our students. Thanks to MooreLabSIO alum Michelle Schorn for organizing the Dutch contingent

Happy to see our work on the sponge holobiont biosynthetic diversity out in its final form! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ms… Marnix Medema @Detmer_Sipkema Laboratory of Microbiology at WUR

Want to work on antimicrobial natural products in wine? I am looking for a postdoc! #weincampus #chemjobs #studywine stellen.hs-kl.de/jobposting/91b…

An excellent write-up of the research I'm doing at Laboratory of Microbiology at WUR, with support from a @MSCActions Postdoctoral Fellowship, on the microbial symbionts of mesophotic sponges and their biosynthetic potential. Huge thanks to @Detmer_Sipkema and EU Research Results! cordis.europa.eu/article/id/442…

Looking for a new PhD student, who is passionate for natural products, their biosynthesis and ecology in a DFG-funded collaboration project on specialized metabolites in a plant-bacterium symbiosis with Aurelien Carlier! Please RT and pass on to anyone who might be interested!

nicole de voogd and Edwin van Huis officially open the #11worldspongeconference @Naturalis_Sci!! very happy to see everyone here (and online) and wish everyone a great conference!

Are you collecting #genomics and/or #metabolomics data for #naturalproducts #discovery? Curious how to #analyze these #omics #datasets? Then, the #NPLinker #eScience Netherlands eScience Center @akademienl.social project organizes a #workshop for you! 😎 #computational #metabolomics #genomics #NPGenMetMine2023

With the spongies Michelle Schorn Asimenia Gavriilidou Pavlo Hrab from @Detmer_Sipkema’s group (always there with us in the background) Sponge_2022 #11worldspongeconference Naturalis Biodiversity Center

We are hiring! Two vacancies are available for PhD candidates within my NWO Vidi project. This project aims to identify plant biosynthetic pathways using integrative omics, and study their evolution across species. Apply here: wur.nl/en/vacancy/phd…

Come chat with me about mesophotic sponges, metagenomes, and biosynthetic gene clusters at my poster (80) today Sponge_2022 #11worldspongeconference Thanks to all co-authors! Catarina Loureiro @Detmer_Sipkema Marnix Medema

Be sure to check out Pavlo Hrab's poster Sponge_2022! He can tell you why sponges and their symbionts (especially Acidobacteria) are super cool! #11worldspongeconference

Dreaming of a sponge conference 2025 in Bali!
