New paper led by @SharkMicrobe interrogating marine biofilms using co-occurrence networks to identify microbial inducers of coral larval settlement to help support reef restoration!
@ace_uq @UQscience @NWebster_Micro Miguel Lurgi
Ever wonder about coral larval settlement? Microbial biofilms?
Sprinkle in a little network analysis and I got a new paper for you 🪸🧬

Brilliant talk by Marie Thomas at #SETACAU2023 talking about establishing guideline values for copper toxicity to marine microbial communities.

It's an open secret that
#Scientific #publishing is a joke! 😢
If you ever need a funny explanation for a friend who is not familiar with the publish or perish game, here it is - by the brilliant "Dr Glaucomflecken"
Very excited and grateful to have received the Thomas Davies Grant from @Science_Academy to study the #microbiomes of Moreton Bay’s #mangrove forests and unravel their role in #bluecarbon sequestration. Congrats to the other awardees too!
Writing papers is easier when you’re surrounded by peers and inspired by nature on the beautiful Minjerribah island

We are recruiting a PhD student currently in Aus or NZ to work on an ARC-DP co-led by Prof Mark Morrison, @paulxevans and myself at UQ’s Diamantina Institute and @ace_uq to examine gut methanogen biodiversity in native Australian herbivores. Fully funded 3 year scholarship.
Great initiative to better understand the mangrove microbiome in order to protect these highly valuable ecosystems, especially in the face of climate change!
Introducing this amazing initiative launched by our @bmmo_network: Mangrove Microbiome Initiative (MMI), led by @ASROSADO_LEMM @gilbertjacka, Jeff Bowman and Sarah Allard. Way to go!! @mSystemsJ msystems.asm.org/content/5/5…
