PhD position soon open: please contact me by DM if you are interested in joining our lab to work on exciting new types of archaeal histones. See e.g. our recent study on biorXiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Please RT

A new substrate for #nitrification by #comammox microbes: #Guanidine So glad to see this out in nature today – great collaborative effort from our @FWF Cluster of Excellence, Universität Wien, team Aalborg Universitet, and UFZ nature.com/articles/s4158…

(3/n) We wanted to understand fundamental principles of carbon capture in our oceans. Seems important - right. 30-40% of all emitted carbon by humans is directly absorbed by the ocean. This is a massive amount of carbon & kind of important to get precise measurements.

What an undertaking!

Now out in Nature! As a collaborative team with people from Treutlein lab, Fabian Theis and Gray Camp, led by me, Leander, Jonas (josch1@bsky), we generated the so far largest integrated cell atlas of neural #Organoid with comprehensive characterization nature.com/articles/s4158…

Glad to share our paper "Overlooked Vital Role of Persistent Algae-Bacteria Interaction in Ocean Recalcitrant Carbon Sequestration and Its Response to Ocean Warming" just published at Global Change Biology Global Change Biology , doi.org/10.1111/gcb.17…

Is it “winner-takes all” when the simplest living things compete? Check out my fresh publication on phage coexistence in Science and a thread below🧵 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Trick bacteria with light! It took us a very long time to publish this work, but perseverance and teamwork prevailed. @ Ryan McQuillen Xinxing Yang @ Amilcar Perez @Malcolm Winkler @ Erin Goley @ Kumaran Ramamurthi nature.com/articles/s4146…

I'm excited to see the published version of this amazing work. Erez Tzvi Yirmiya et al identified viral proteins that inhibit host immunity using structural predictions of protein-protein interactions. Congrats to you all Sorek Lab & Kranzuch lab! 🥂

Archaea goes multicellular by Alex Bisson , awesome new discovery & biophysics! science.org/doi/abs/10.112…

We are looking for tenure-track and tenured biologists to join our department: School of Life Sciences at EITech Ningbo. It's a new private university, English taught, highly competitive package. Please apply or contact me if you have any questions: nature.com/naturecareers/…

🚨 Our new paper is out in Nature Communications! We show that marine biogels can slow the sinking of organic particles by up to 45%, reshaping how we think about the oceanic carbon pump. Slower sinking = more degradation = less deep-ocean storage. 🔗 doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

Is the genome just a bag of genes? A new paper in Science Magazine now reports that for two thirds of an organisms' genes the position along the chromosome is actually very tightly constrained! Amazing work from my favorite night scientist Martin Lercher and his team!

We have openings for motivated and curious individuals to join our team microbialeco.systems

Thanks Archaea Power Hour for giving me the chance to talk at the APH next week. Look forward!
