It's Thursday!  Time for a new episode of #MattersMicrobial to be released!  This time, the #QualityQuorum will hear from M Moniruzzaman about giant viruses and how they interact with their hosts.  Please spread the #GoodMicrobialWord. ASM youtu.be/FWutndOo9aw?si…

Excitement is building for the 12th iteration of the Aquatic Virus Workshop to be held at the fantastic Oceanologic Observatory in Banyuls-sur-Mer, France during 5-9 May 2025. We have a great lineup of speakers, and a nascent website: avw12.sciencesconf.org/?lang=en

🇺🇸 🎗️ Remembering the lives of those we lost on this day 23 years ago. #NeverForget #September11

I'm thrilled this paper is finally submitted! What happens to RNA viruses after wet-up of dry soil? What if you add phosphate? What changes if you check back weeks later? This is the first paper from my pandemic project 🎗Ella Sieradzki 🐈🐕 Christina Hazard Graeme Nicol Erin Nuccio Dr. Jennifer Pett-Ridge
