PhD students sought for fellowship in “extreme biofilms” at Montana State Univ. You would gain professional development & experience researching biofilms in extreme systems. Apply by 1/28. Stipends of $34k are available for 2 years of a PhD program. bit.ly/3dNch7d

How can microbes like those that form kidney stones be harnessed to build practical materials? The CBE's own Erika Espinosa-Ortiz will discuss how fungi and bacteria can be engineered to create materials that can substitute for cement. #BiofilmFirst bit.ly/3Lp1vnn

Great team of folks completing great work @HannahDoris12 Biofilm till MT @ElliottBarnhart Luke McKay at @Center4Biofilm Montana State University with USGS in Montana and Joint Genome Institute

In the debut episode of our podcast, Erika Espinosa-Ortiz gives a insightful overview of the impact (and potential!) of fungal-based biofilms, including why #NASA is eying fungi to aid in long-term space travel. #biofilmfirst rss.com/podcasts/biofi… via RSS.com
