Exciting News! Cluster of Excellence 'Microbiomes Drive Planetary Health' is now on X! 🚀 Follow us and let's explore the unseen world together! Funded by FWF Research Universität Wien, CeMM, JKU - Johannes Kepler Universität Linz, ISTAustria, MedUni Wien, Med Uni Graz, AIT, TU Wien

Desertification spreads worldwide – but how do desert soil bacteria manage to survive prolonged droughts followed by sudden burst of rainfall? Excited to share our new study Nature Communications Special thanks goes to @DimitriMeier and Dagmar Woebken nature.com/articles/s4146…

Thanks to all speakers and participants at the Third PI Science Day of our Austrian Science Fund FWF Cluster of Excellence "Microbiomes drive Planetary Health" (Cluster of Excellence 'MicroPlanet'). Many new collaborations and exciting projects. #FantasticTeam #Cooperation #Microbiome

New in Geoderma: "Soil cover shapes organic matter pools and microbial communities in soils of maritime Antarctica" by V Martin, H Schmidt, A Canarni, M Koranda, B Hausmann, CW Müller & A Richter. buff.ly/44mvma2 Universität Wien Austrian Polar Research Institute MedUni Wien TU Berlin

Happy to share this brand new piece of research from our lab by Schmider et al., on the physiology of atmospheric methane oxidizers. UiT Norges arktiske universitet Universität Wien Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146…

Today, I successfully defended my Master Thesis 🎓 TER-labs I cannot realize it yet; it's like a dream; but I feel very lucky and proud and I am very much looking forward to the next step (...PhD 😮)

#LNF24 Heute habe ich mich mit Groß & Klein über Boden, Mikroorganismen, Klimawandel und Wissenschaft unterhalten 🦠🥼🔬 So viele tolle Mitmach- und Entdeckungsstationen von CeMESS!

My (Andrea Söllinger) newly funded Norges forskningsråd “Young Research Talents” project started 1st of May 2024. Follow my journey as a #NewPI and our* research journey. *Happy to have many great project partners from UiT Norges arktiske universitet Universität Wien TER-labs Uni Greifswald Landbúnaðarháskóli Íslands - LBHÍ

And with great project partners I mean: Alexander T. Tveit, Andreas Richter (Andreas Richter), Lucia Fuchslueger (@Lou_tsia), Hannes Schmidt, Bjarni D. Sigurdsson (Bjarni D. Sigurdsson), Mathilde Borg Dahl, Tim Urich, Ines Heiland (ines.heiland), Thomas Rattei, and Nigel Yoccoz

Long due CAREER UPDATE: over the moon that #ERC will fund my #ERCStG EcoMEMO working on #soilmicrobes and #drought. I will start in October at the oldest University (Università di Bologna). I sadly left TER-labs after so many great years. #PhD and #postdoc will be available soon ( short🧵)

My new samples had a wonderful view, right? 👀 Great sampling trip 🛻 with Andreas Richter and @VWaschulin in beautiful Tyrol. Looking forward to discover in my PhD what those microbes🦠 are up to!

Excited to share that I received an *ERC Starting Grant*! 🎉 With MemoryLane, we will be studying the gut microbial effects on brain plasticity and human memory European Research Council (ERC) I will also be looking for a postdoc beginning 2025, Ad to follow soon!

Great news - @BettinaGlasl joined the staff at @DOME_Vienna CeMESS Universität Wien as Senior Scientist! Congratulations Bettina - fantastic to have you in the team. dome.univie.ac.at/news-events/ne…

Very much enjoyed the opening keynote of the Soil Systems conference by Andreas Richter making the point that microbial growth is more informative than CUE for understanding soil carbon storage

Excited to see our paper on a new #comammox physiology published today in the print issue of Nature. Efforts to isolate new comammox strains with guanidine already on the way. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Soil properties & functions are affected by many global change factors. Bi et al. use a microcosm experiment to demonstrate that the number & dissimilarity of these factors are both important for predicting the impacts of global change factors. Matthias C. Rillig (currently sabbatical @OIST) nature.com/articles/s4146…

Grateful for having been part of this journey with fantastic colleagues. >2 years of discussions with often diverging opinions resulted in this paper, together with the insight of how much we still don't know about the mycorrhizal symbiosis. Exciting times ahead for research!

Our FWF Cluster of Excellence "Microbiomes Drive Planetary Health" (Cluster of Excellence 'MicroPlanet' ), proudly celebrates its first anniversary with our inaugural annual meeting. Exciting research is on the horizon - stay tuned for more updates!

Such a strange feeling to see your name after "Professor". Thanks #ERCStg to allow this and very excited to start in #unibo. The location is unusual but so fascinating and extremely inspiring!!!
