Thanks for putting this out there for our grant reviewers Prof. & Dr. Isabelle Laforest-L. (she/her/elle). Apparently it needs to be said: also for the phyllosphere, it is time to move beyond classic 16S sequencing!

Happy to be part of #Pint19 #scicom! Those who want to hear about microscopic solutions to big problems, come see my talk May 22nd

Today was the last meeting with the whole team before some of the first-generation 'PhD students - young postdocs' leave the lab for the next step in their career. They surprised me with a lovely speech and award! I will miss you Wenke Smets @s_wuyts Serena Moretti ENdEMIC Group

Great initiative in campus heverlee KU Leuven. The #geogarden, bringing together students, employees and #biodiversity. Maybe we can make something like this UAntwerpen?

Inspiring talk on the wood-wide web and how it deliberately trades nutrients which will optimize the system as a whole

On a positive note, the efforts we make to slow down corona, it prevents a whooole lot of cases. Yay us! news.berkeley.edu/2020/06/08/eme…

Leaf bacteria protect plants in more ways than I could've imagined. How? Read more in the new work by Marie frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

A few more campus views. 10 am. This is not normal.

Interested in applying bioinformatics to study the female microbiome? Join us at the Lebeer Lab in the beautiful city of Antwerp! We have a four-year PhD position available on the topic of the ecology and evolution of the vaginal microbiome. More info 👇 uantwerpen.be/en/jobs/vacanc…

Transporting lactobacilli to flowers by bumblebees? indeed! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ae… Lactobacilli are good at inhibiting pathogens, but when protecting flowers, we need to be creative to get the bacteria to the right place at the right time 💡
