We are thrilled to introduce the ISME Climate Change Committee! This Committee aims to bring global attention to the discipline and practitioners of microbial ecology in addressing the climate change emergency. 🔗 isme-microbes.org/introducing-is… #microbialecologist #microbialecology

We are pleased to introduce our panellists for the Diversity in STEM panel at ISME19: Chris Greening, Rehab A, Sarahi L. Garcia, David Ojo and Luis E. Valentín-Alvarado. The session will be moderated by ISME ECSC Chair Ashley M. Dungan, PhD (she/her). Meet us on Thursday, August 22, from 13:30-14:30 at Ballroom!

People at #ISME19, recover from the party today and come to see our presentations about soil viral roles in greenhouse gas emissions tomorrow (Thu) 😄 I talk at 12:30 in the climate change session and Karla Müller at 15:30 in the viral session!

Excellent talks by all presenters of our session "Axes of microbial ecology and climate change" @ #ISME19, highlighting the cutting edge in #globalchange microbiology research and translation across a broad range of habitats. #climatechange ISME Session continue @ 14:20

I had the privilege and great responsibility to share a gist of my life journey @ the #ISME19 To all of those trailblazers, walking a path into science. Let's build a community that is a support system so we can do the most creative science and live fulfilling lives.

Today at 11am in 1.4. The session is packed with excellent researchers. I am a bit nervous. #ISME19

Super important to consider soil viruses as well! I am such a proud supervisor: PhD candidate Ruiqi W went to a workshop on first year of the PhD and this is the outcome! Biodiversity Research Leiden University (CML) nature.com/articles/s4156…

Data on bacterial densities contain information about bacteriophages! To find out how this works, join our NAVE hybrid workshop on measuring phage parameters on October 31 with Yuval Mulla. For full details and registration: tinyurl.com/3j82arhe

Happy to share my co-1st author paper in nature on how the immune system adapts during gender-affirming hormone therapy with testosterone treatment (1/15) nature.com/articles/s4158…

Happy to finally see our (improved) version of our EVE detection pipeline out for everyone to use :) with Nadja Brait and Thomas Hackl

Piece by piece we are tracing back the origins of our immune system... 🧩 We still have a long way to go! 💪🏽 Thanks for this article covering our work Carly Cassella sciencealert.com/human-defenses…
