Happening now ! Join us in Audit 1 for the marine microbial ecology session all day today and tomorrow afternoon :) #isme19

Happening now ISME #isme19 ! Ballroom west

Full room in the Diversity STEM panel! We need to see this type of panel more often in the conferences! #ISME19 #DiversityInSTEM

Glad to have presented at #ISME19 the last results on nitrogen utilisation on an Arctic dataset using omics! If you want to know more, check out our preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Double header at #ISME19 today! Both Glen D'Souza and Gatwa presented their work today!

Rob Knight shares the devastating news that some of us process the sugar in rice (healthy, right?!?!) the same way we do ice cream 🍦 😫 #ISME19 #sciencetwitter #microbiology #CapeTown

Had a wonderful week attending #isme19 in the splendid #CapeTown!This was an amazing experience! Thanks to the local organisers Thulani Makhalanyane for having an excellent meeting and to the marine micro chairs Flora Vincent for giving me the chance to present our #coral #microbiome work!

A hearty siyabonga to everyone who traveled to Cape Town for #isme19. We’re grateful that you shared your best science, and contributed to expanding the ISME family! The week was filled with memorable moments, including the training workshops, the Microbes & Climate Change event.

AI can be used to make convincing looking fake data. There is no way we can distinguish real from fake anymore. It is safe to assume that genAI has already resulted in many fake papers. Scientific publishing is not prepared for this.

Busy month for the lab… our post doc Serena Flori sharing her work and experience EMBL in University of Copenhagen Research :)

Out in Cell Host & Microbe: Conservation of antiviral systems across domains of life reveals immune genes in humans. Using phylogenomics, we traced antiphage systems in eukaryotes, predicted human homologs and validated their immune function in human cells! cell.com/cell-host-micr…

Beyond grateful for this 🙏 wouldn’t have been possible without my lab that founded this idea and the EMBL community and colleagues / mentors around the world who helped me sharpen this vision. We will be hiring soon - get in touch! embl.org/groups/petrido…
