I found out this week that my college is moving and all faculty and staff contracts are terminated June 30. Please send jobs if you know of any! I am taking students to sea this summer and now I don't have a lab to come back to. :(

I consulted for a Kurzgesagt cartoon about the Deep Subsurface Biosphere, and it turned out AMAZING! These guys must have had a blast putting all this together. Check it out here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=VD6xJq…

Our celebration of microbiology also made it to the cover of this issue and we hope you will find yourself in it, too.

Today, I want to share a message with my powerful Afghan sisters. You are fighting back against the Taliban’s crimes, as they ban you from going to school and try to erase you from public life. You continue resisting. Your courage is a source of inspiration.

On US peace negotiations between Israel and Gaza: “The reporting is that former President Trump is on the phone with the PM of Israel urging him not to cut a deal right now because it’s believed that would help the Harris campaign.”

Our "weird oxygen production" paper is finally out!
The polymetallic nodule-covered seafloor is making oxygen. We don't know exactly how - lots of fun work ahead! - but a new source of O2 may help fuel the deep-sea biosphere.
👏 to @ProfAKSweetman for leading the charge 👏
