Happy Earth Day! To celebrate, I took a look back at some of the impressive undersea life I've had the pleasure of observing and photographing over the last year Australian Institute of Marine Science The sea is a spectacular place. 💙

The swimming behaviour of microbes in the ocean is governed by the attraction of bacteria to specific chemical cues. Years of work with @ace_uq Centre for Microbiome Research Microbefluidics @PhilHugenholtz Chris Rinke Ben Lambert Donovan Parks and many others. disq.us/t/4709by2

My first paper "Molecular microbiological approaches reduce ambiguity about the sources of faecal pollution and identify microbial hazards within an urbanised coastal environment" is out now! Check it out here: authors.elsevier.com/c/1f1Z-9pi-WNw6 OMGlab UTS C3 UTS Science

New paper out. #oyster larvae acquire their initial #microbiome from their parents, and then add to it with bacteria from their environment. Congrats to Dr Elliot Scanes Andrea Unzueta Martínez and co-authors. animalmicrobiome.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

My second PhD paper is out! Check out how we have linked sewage contamination to antibiotic resistance genes at an Australian coastal beach: authors.elsevier.com/c/1fCa9zLNSc7wm 🏄💩🧬 OMGlab UTS C3 UTS Science

In work led by Sid Krishnan, together with @cerebis OMGlab martin ostrowski and others, we extend the composite likelihood method to estimate recombination rates in software to analyse metagenomic reads. Sid has posted a biorxiv preprint describing the work: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

At #ISME18 and interested in algae-bacteria interaction? Come and talk to Nine and I this afternoon at the poster session (PS 045 and PS 091)! OMGlab UTS C3

If you are at #ISME18 and would like to learn about Microbial Source Tracking and how we've implemented SourceTracker with 16S data to model storm water impact on an urban beach - come to poster 450! OMGlab OMGlab UTS C3 UTS Science

New paper out on the #DMSP cycling in the eastern Indian Ocean. Congrats to James O’Brien Amaranta Focardi Katherina Petrou martin ostrowski and co-authors! UTS C3 UTS Science authors.elsevier.com/c/1ftYs3Ruf1Jm…

Interested in how inter-bacterial symbioses regulate aquatic ecosystem health ? We have a fully funded PhD position!  Please RT nature.com/naturecareers/… #jobs

3 months before thesis submission &... 🔔My 3rd chapter is live as a pre-print!! 🔔 To determine the efficacy of plastic-free materials in restoration we tested whether biodegradable materials differentially impact coral microbiomes during nursery propagation. 🧬🍃🪸

New research! 🚨 #Heatwaves kill oysters, but why? We show that bacteria can be responsible for the death of oysters after a heatwave... We also show that oysters acclimated to heatwaves can fight off these bacteria! 🤜🦠 Check it out here for free: cell.com/iscience/fullt…

Glad to say that our study on the viability of plastic-free alternatives in reef restoration propagation is now published! 🪸🦠 doi.org/10.1111/1758-2… @coralnurture UTS Science FutureReefsLab OMGlab #GenerationRestoration #GreatBarrierReef #CoralMicrobiome 1/3

Our latest publication in Trends in Microbiology examines how chemotactic sensing could represent an important, but largely overlooked, phenotype within bacterial interactions. Thanks to OMGlab UTS C3 Microbefluidics University of Melbourne Science at Melbourne. cell.com/trends/microbi…

My 4th and final PhD chapter is out! We tested if and how growing corals on different metals impacts the function and composition of #coralmicrobiomes. doi.org/10.3389/fmars.…
