#SoilChip article out together with Edith Hammer et al.: #nanoplastics inhibit bacterial and fungal growth, but fungal hyphae can adsorb them -an effect we dubbed "the vacuum cleaner effect"🦠🍄sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Lund University Lunds universitet LTH vid Lunds universitet @Biology_LU #microfluidics

#Nanoplastics harm soil microbes but some fungi can clean up! We studied in #microfluidic #soilchips how Pseudomonas and Coprinopsis reacted to polystyrene nanoparticles. The fungus became a "vacuum cleaner" 😯🤩 Fungus red, plastics green. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

After devastating Greece in the country’s worst ever flood disaster, #medicane Daniel submerges East Libya under water. First estimate of 2,000 dead, many missing thought to have been washed out to sea. Apocalyptic. #ClimateCrisis #ClimateActionNow

HISTORIC RECORD HEAT IN IRAN Today Omidieh in Iran rose to 50.1C [122.2F] THIS IS THE LATEST 50C EVER RECORDED WORLDWIDE (and monthly record for Omidieh) Insane records also at high elevations: 41.7C Nehbandan 1188m 37.7C Sirjan 1739m Less than 2 weeks from Autumn equinox..

Our f&%kery knows no upper limits. That's right, global surface temperatures just set a new record anomaly yesterday, a full 0.84°C above the 1991-2020 mean, beating the previous high of 0.82°C set earlier this year and the previous record anomaly of 0.83°C set in 2016.

It's internal variability, they said. It will go back down within weeks, they said. Talking about increased warming from desulphurisation promotes geoengineering and inaction, they said. It's just El Niño, they said. People need to be accurately informed about risks!

So proud of my Lund University colleague (and teacher during my studies) Anne L'Huillier, one of today's physics Nobel Prize winners. And so impressed that she went straight back and finished her lecture after the call!

We have a new SoilChip paper out! 🍄

So proud that we are closer than ever to take acoustofluidics to routine diagnostics!

How do mycorrhizal fungi navigate through microchips? Exciting work showing hyphal navigation strategies through 'tortuous' passages. Proud to be part of this pioneering work led by Kristin Aleklett Edith Hammer w/ Carlos Arellano Pelle Ohlsson et al. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New paper published! We describe the process of making microfluidic chips for quantifying the effect of physical characteristics of microenvironments on bacterial and fungal biomass and nutrient consumption Edith Hammer Pelle Ohlsson @Biology_LU doi.org/10.1016/j.xpro…

Happy to see our paper made it into this top list of recent mycorrhizal papers in company with a lot of other interesting research 🤩 Edith Hammer Carlos Arellano Toby Kiers Pelle Ohlsson

1st year review passed with the AcouSome project! 🥳

New paper published in Microbiology Spectrum😍 doi.org/10.1128/spectr… co-authors: Pelle Ohlsson , Saleh Moradi, and Edith Hammer We observed that the sole connectivity of a microhabitat can determine the function (substrate degradation) of a soil community. How? (1/5)👇
