Great fun seeing Dr Dr Rachael Lappan sampling atmospheric microbes for HFSP project that commenced this week. Challenge is to get enough microbial cells while minimising contamination. I left, she put a clean suit, and she thoroughly decontaminated when sampling started for real!

Assessing functional vulnerability for biodiversity conservation at ecosystems levels: a new conceptual framework. Check out our last publication led by Arnaud Auber Ifremer 🌊 from the FRB #CESAB groups #MAESTRO & #FREE in Nature Communications ! ▶️ nature.com/articles/s4146…

I am delighted that thanks to the hard work of Kevin X. Zhong and co-authors, our manuscript on using free rRNA to infer taxon-specific microbial mortality rdcu.be/cW9e3 is published in The ISME Journal.

Sharing our most important biochemistry article to date. So much here: basis of a global biogeochemical cycle; an enzyme that extracts energy from air; an oxygen insensitive H2 catalyst; a crazy tunnel; and the highest res cryo-EM enzyme structure to date biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Applications are still open for our Underground Explorers Program. If you want to help sample the Earth's mycorrhizal communities, apply by October 31. We prioritize projects in under-sampled regions, led by local applicants. spun.earth/expeditions/ap…

New PNAS paper published. In terms of direct value for the real world, this is probably my most important paper so far. Work with Alexey Ryabov, Bernd Blasius, Irina Olenina, and Helmut Hillebrand. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

Very excited to share my Nature News & Views article about the “Mystery find of microbial DNA elements called Borgs” Hope you enjoy the read and find the article informative 📜 nature.com/articles/d4158…

We're thrilled to properly present the Borgs to you. Check out our analysis of these enigmatic organisms here: nature.com/articles/s4158… Basem Al-Shayeb, Ph.D. 🧬 @MScholmerich @luis_valentin26 Jacob West-Roberts Rohan Sachdeva @acritschristoph The Banfield Lab @doudna_lab

DAY 22 // MOVE I’m back (after a nasty bout of tonsillitis), ready to fill your feeds with more #microber2022 goodness This one is for the movers and shakers 💃 #SciArt #move #shaker #science #lablife

PhD and #planning are inseparable. But more often than not, it NEVER works! Either we procrastinate till we fall into anxiety or overwork to the point of burnout. Here's a little🧵for procrastination-proof planning! #PhDlife #PhDchat #phdtips #AcademicTwitter

Sometimes a paper takes 6 years, 75 days at sea, 900 metagenomes (700 in this paper), two new coding languages, and many fantastic collaborators. I am very proud of this one. ❤️ nature.com/articles/s4139…

Very happy to see this work finally published! Many thanks to all authors, my lab mates and special thanks to @AlvSanMillan ! The full paper can be read here --> nature.com/articles/s4155… If you want to know about it keep scrolling down! (1/5)

I didn’t realise, when I started working as a psychologist with children and families, how many stories I would hear about distress relating to school. School-related distress wasn’t really something that came up in my clinical training. 1/

Super excited to share my first publication with @doudna_lab Nature Microbiology : RNA-targeting CRISPR-Cas13 Provides Broad-spectrum Phage Immunity nature.com/articles/s4156… Now, with even more phage genome editing (and of course, CRISPR-Cas13) 1/

biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Excited to share our new preprint which describes a striking type of anaerobic respiration used by distantly related bacteria in the human gut. (1/21)

Excited to share my study in the Pamer lab which decribes the virulence and genomic diversity among C.difficile clinical isolates of a single strain type BI/NAP1/027. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I've been asked "how can you be so productive if you have ADHD". I respond "ADHD often helps". It was mainly a disability growing up, but now I can harness it to be creative, energetic, supportive and hyperfocused. Interesting work and calm supportive workplace critical though./1
