Is this a joke? If so, I officially don't get German humor

We are hiring! Come work with Justin van der Hooft and myself as a postdoc to integrate genomic and metabolomic data for natural product discovery. Be part of an amazing EU consortium with Piel Lab Marine Biodiscovery Centre, UoA Gilles van Wezel 💙💛 Fundación MEDINA #NAICONS and others. wur.nl/en/vacancy/Pos…

Great, from now on when you say you work with METAgenomics people will think you are part of some extremely sketchy social media experiment

Today EPS PhD candidate Raul Wijfjes Raúl Wijfjes will defend his PhD thesis "Plant adaptation through copy number variation". We wish you a wonderful day and enjoy this special moment after years of hard work. Dick de Ridder

To whom it may concern, I have to defend my PhD next Monday. Could we postpone this world war thing until next week Tuesday? We all made plans and would be very inconvenient to change last minute. Thanks!

Very proud of Dr Vittorio , who successfully defended his PhD thesis yesterday!

Happy to see this one out online in FEMS #FEMSMicrobiolRev, led by Nick Snelders with help from Hanna Rovenich: Microbiota manipulation through the secretion of effector proteins is fundamental to the wealth of lifestyles in the fungal kingdom academic.oup.com/femsre/advance…

Overjoyed to share our work now out in nature - massive biosynthetic diversity of the open ocean and new RiPP enzymes brought to you by the incomparable Lucas Paoli and team: Microbiome Research, Piel Lab esp. Florian Hubrich, @satriaphd, and many more ❤️🎉nature.com/articles/s4158…

And the winner for the young investigator award is Janani Durairaj! BioSB yearly presents an award at the BioSB conference for a young researcher who has significantly contributed to the bioinformatics or the systems biology research community in the Netherlands. #BioSB2022

Very grateful to receive an NWO Domain Science (Inactive) Vidi grant! We will develop integrative-omics-based methods to computationally identify plant biosynthetic pathways and link them to their metabolic products, to provide new insights into pathway evolution. nwo.nl/en/news/101-re…

Happy to see our work on the sponge holobiont biosynthetic diversity out in its final form! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ms… Marnix Medema @Detmer_Sipkema Laboratory of Microbiology at WUR

Looking forward to hosting this 3-day BioSB course on computational metagenomics at Wageningen U&R . It will cover assembly, binning, taxonomic analysis, annotation (incl phages and BGCs), metadata analysis, metatranscriptomics and community metabolic modeling. Register now! Please RT

We are looking for a motivated PhD student to join Team Thomma @teamthomma.bsky.social and work on fungal interactions with the microbiota, including micro-algae. Send me a DM if interested!

Multiple open positions in my lab! Please re-tweet and get in touch with me for any questions! Other positions will appear, looking for enthusiastic candidates not necessarily experienced in metagenomes as long as they have solid computational or quantitative background!

Excited to share our new preprint on 3D structure of Verticillium dahliae genome! Wonderful collaboration of team Michael F Seidl & Team Thomma @teamthomma.bsky.social and huge effort lead by David T Martin Kramer & Vittorio with help from Gabriel Lorencini Fiorin & David E Cook biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… 🧵[1/14]

Look here! Result of our Team Thomma @teamthomma.bsky.social Easter egg hunt!biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Another collaboration with team Michael F Seidl, led by Edgar Chavarro with help from Nick Snelders David T Anton Kraege Wilko Punt and Twitter-less others. A 🧵 [1/14]

I think we need to talk about how devastating this cancer microbiome refutation paper from Steven Salzberg 💙💛 and colleagues is. It really speaks to how devoid of critical thinking and intellectual depth our glam publishing ecosystem has become. 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I am very happy to see this story published. Lots of interesting findings about genome 3D organization and its role in evolution.

New study in Nature Communications reveals the 3D #genome of a fungal plant pathogen, shedding light on infection-related genes and evolutionary features across the genus. Great work Team Thomma @teamthomma.bsky.social David T Vittorio Martin Kramer Gabriel Lorencini Fiorin David E Cook Michael F Seidl! hubs.la/Q02mfRzf0
