We are looking for a postdoc to join our group in the fall, to help us understand how microbial communities degrade viruses. If you are interested in a well-paid postdoc position in a beautiful place (and if you have relevant skills), check our add: eth-gethired.ch/de/jobs/detail…

Proud to work alongside award winning scientists Bangor University! Congratulations Kata Farkas🇭🇺🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Luke Hillary is now on Bluesky Jamie Thorpe Shelagh Malham Davey Jones 🥳

Are you an RNA Virologist? Then I want to know what you think! forms.gle/MGxWc1nAdLrBU2…

Our paper about metagenomic-based virus vs cell quantification is out in The ISME Journal. Great collaboration with @mkrupovic & Francisco R-Valera. The famous idea “>one order of magnitude more abundant than cells” holds for DNA viruses only in very few habitats rdcu.be/dbUY2

Are you a biologist? Then this "Statistics for Biologists" collection curated by Springer Nature highlights important statistical issues that biologists should be aware of and provides practical advice to help them improve the rigor of their work nature.com/collections/qg…

We are looking for a Bioinformatics Scientist to drive the development/use of high-performance shared computing systems supporting diverse computational microbiology research in our dept UW-Madison Department of Bacteriology.

Decided to get out of the office for a bit of thinking time after remotely attending the awesome RdRp Summit Gotta love the UC Davis campus 😁

Bacteria, Viruses, Archaea

Proud to accept this on behalf of the team......this journey started 15 years ago Viraqua. I can't thank our Bangor University team and our collaborators enough (Cardiff University, University of Exeter, University of Bath, Newcastle University, Arup, Welsh Water.....). It would not of happened without you.

Come see my #soilviruses and space (spatial distances not outer space) #AGU23 talk at 9:30 on Friday! Yea yea yea the last day of conferences are tough, but my session is full of super cool microbial talks and even cooler people 😎. Session B51A lead by &ratt starting at 8:30

Looking forward to presenting some updates on how RNA and DNA viromics can be used to understand how we influence viral communities both around us, and within us 🏞️🚜💩

Some great points here about how to make (international) conferences more accessible for all.

Last day to register an abstract for a talk all you phagesters! We will try to make sure as many PGRs, Postdocs and Fellows get the opportunity to talk about their research. Its a very supportive audience!! Abstract deadline is today 8th Jan, registration closes on the 15th.

#VoM_UK24 was a great conference. Really nice to catch up with people and share some of the work on viruses and wildfire I'm doing UC Davis. The standard of talks from PDRAs and PhDs was phenomenal. Huge thanks to Darren Smith and the organising team for putting it all together

Now published! Super divergent RNA virus lineages identified in Australian soils and some initial insights into the fascinating relationship between soil properties and virome composition. Check it out 👇 doi.org/10.1016/j.viro…
