Receiving a box full of your very first book is a pretty great way to end a week. Thank you PA Press!

Proud of Masters student Isini on creating and presenting her first poster at her first conference. Check out the echidna microbiome on poster #103 #AusME22

I had the amazing opportunity to present a poster at my very first conference, AusME2022 ! My poster gave a little insight into my summer research project assessing whether the gut microbiome of short-beaked echidnas changes through their gestation phases. #AusME22

#VicBioCon23 brings exciting panel discussion with exemplary panellists e.g. ARC Laureate Fellow Prof. Madeleine van Oppen (@spectacularia), her research focuses on protecting coral-reefs using assisted evolution approaches. Join for this discussion University of Melbourne.

Our latest preprint is out! An in-depth look at bacterial aggregates in corals, featuring lots of microscopy, metagenomics, everyone's favorite coral symbiont aka Endozoicomonas, and chlamydiae as unexpected guest stars. Have a read here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out our latest paper comparing the role of ROS and RNS during thermal stress in GBR Exaiptasia diaphana and Galaxea fascicularis. Huge thanks to everyone involved Justin Maire Wing Y Chan Isini Buthgamuwa LukaMeyers @crazycatzzz @spectacularia mdpi.com/2076-3921/12/5

Let's get #microbialecology in #conservation!

The ISME ECSC is spotlighting Talisa Doering (Talisa_Doering), a University of Melbourne PhD student, and her paper “Genomic exploration of coral-associated bacteria: identifying probiotic candidates to increase coral bleaching resilience in Galaxea fascicularis.” microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… (1/2)

So happy to put out my first first-author paper which looked at overall stability of the short-beaked echidna’s gut microbiome during gestation! Thank you Ashley M. Dungan, PhD (she/her) for guiding me through this project and giving me the opportunity to work on this little creature!

A small milestone in the academic journey but a much cherished one. Reaching 100 citations for my first author paper from my PhD published in The ISME Journal . Thankful to many who contributed and of course cited my work. #AcademicTwitter #coralreefs #coralmicrobiome

Our latest paper is out in The ISME Journal! Another one for my fellow Endozoicomonas nerds out there. We describe a new genus and species within the Endozoicomonadaceae family, Sororendozoicomonas aggregata (yes, it is a mouthful!). doi.org/10.1093/ismejo…
