Introducing this amazing initiative launched by our BMMO network: Mangrove Microbiome Initiative (MMI), led by @ASROSADO_LEMM Jack A Gilbert (he/him/his), Jeff Bowman and Sarah Allard. Way to go!! EIC Jack Gilbert msystems.asm.org/content/5/5/e0…

Great initiative to better understand the mangrove microbiome in order to protect these highly valuable ecosystems, especially in the face of climate change!

The Dogs of 2020

We are recruiting a PhD student currently in Aus or NZ to work on an ARC-DP co-led by Prof Mark Morrison, @paulxevans and myself at UQ’s Diamantina Institute and @ace_uq to examine gut methanogen biodiversity in native Australian herbivores. Fully funded 3 year scholarship.

The Australian Institute of Marine Science is seeking a senior scientist to lead their applied marine microbial ecology program. Having worked on the GBR in this role for the past 20 years I can attest to it being one of the most rewarding jobs in the world!! shorturl.at/hjkD5

A fantastic 5-yr opportunity to join us Australian Institute of Marine Science and contribute to a broad range of projects: microbial ecotoxicology, microbial inducers and probiotics to name a few. Please Retweet!

Excited to share the last chapter from my PhD recently published in Ecology! (somehow missed this original tweet while out doing field work...) Please feel free to reach out if you'd like a copy!

Interested in Archaea? Come join us at @ace_uq. We're looking for a Post-doc to join our team working on an ARC DP looking at novel Archaea that inhabit the digestive tracts of native Australian herbivores and humans. 2 year position. Apply by Feb. 2nd! seek.com.au/job/55458422?t…

Working with marine symbioses? 🐠🌊 Submit your abstract to our AMSA-NSMSS 2024 Conference symposium: "Marine microbial symbiosis: connecting current trends and future perspectives" @amsa AMSA-NQ Australian Institute of Marine Science UQ Science University of Melbourne amsa2022.amsa.asn.au/conference-sym…

Post-doc position at University of Queensland for computational biologist applying their skills to conservation of the Great Barrier Reef. Genuine search for someone with right to work here. Deadline 23 May. Potential to extend contract. tinyurl.com/47d2h83f

Writing papers is easier when you’re surrounded by peers and inspired by nature on the beautiful Minjerribah island #writingretreat #EMCR UQ Science #centreformarinescience #CMS #moretonbayresearchstation #MBRS

Very excited and grateful to have received the Thomas Davies Grant from Australian Academy of Science to study the #microbiomes of Moreton Bay’s #mangrove forests and unravel their role in #bluecarbon sequestration. Congrats to the other awardees too!

It's an open secret that #Scientific #publishing is a joke! 😢 If you ever need a funny explanation for a friend who is not familiar with the publish or perish game, here it is - by the brilliant "Dr Glaucomflecken"

Dr. Paul O’Brien from @ace_uq UQ Science giving an excellent talk at the Australian Marine Sciences Association Conference on “Harnessing microbial inducers of coral larval settlement” as part of the Reef Restoration and Adaptation Program #AMSA #AMSA2023

Brilliant talk by Marie Thomas at #SETACAU2023 talking about  establishing guideline values for copper toxicity to marine microbial communities. Australian Institute of Marine Science @ace_uq

Very proud to share the first publication from our project combining #ecotox and #microbial ecology methodologies to derive copper toxicity thresholds microbes led by @MarieCThoma 👏 authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S00… Andrew Negri Chris Rinke Inka Vanwonterghem @GretelWaugh Australian Institute of Marine Science @ace_uq
