Philosopher as Microbiologist

Noteworthy — It's a fascinating experience, to stumble upon a "philosopher's gem."

Eine absolute Hörempfehlung ist dieser sehr gut gemachte #Podcast vom #DLF über das größte zusammenhänge Ökosystem unserer Erde und die Frage wie (mikrobielles) Leben in den tiefsten Tiefen möglich ist.

In #Münster hat ein neuer, grossartiger #Fahrradladen aufgemacht. Wenn ihr Reparaturen braucht oder ein neues Rad, fahrt doch mal bei #Herz&Speiche in der Piusallee vorbei. Hier wird von einer kompetenten Fahrradmechanikerin super beraten, nett gequatscht und zuverlässig geholfen. Kann ich nur empfehlen

„Schwarze Emscher" ist Geschichte: Vor genau vier Jahren verkündete die Emschergenossenschaft nach 30 Jahren Bauzeit die vollständige Abwasserfreiheit der Emscher. Der zeitweise am stärksten verschmutzte Fluss Europas führt mittlerweile klares Wasser. Auch die Artenvielfalt wächst: Mittlerweile haben Fische, Wasserpflanzen und Kieselalgen den neuen Fluss für sich erobert. 🐟 Um den Fluss zu beobachten, übermitteln Online-Messstationen im Fünf-Minuten-Takt Informationen⤵️ https://www.dortmund.de/newsroom/nachrichten-dortmund.de/messwerte-zeigen-%E2%80%9Eschwarze-emscher-ist-geschichte.html

In memory of Jean Paul Euzéby (1949-2025), who passed away last October. He brought #LPSN to life, the List of Prokaryotic Names with Standing in Nomenclature. An indispensable database and tool for microbiologists all over the world.

I am so happy to co-author this #preprint #review on #archaeal #tetraether #lipids, aka #GDGTs, as #marine paleoenvironmental indicators led by Felix Elling and Gordon Inglis!
The #consensus presented in this preprint review was written by 40 experts on GDGTs, including both lead authors and myself.
The Earth and Space Science Open Archive preprint is available there:

Last week, we presented our new NWE #Interreg project #PREWAPHARM at the Campus Earth day at the University of #Münster. Turns out that many people are already aware of the problems that #pharmaceutical residues can cause in our #water bodies and we had some great discussion on ways to solve this problem. In PREWAPHARM, we are working on microbial solutions to remove harmful compounds directly at the source, e.g. hospitals, care facilites, remote communities.

One of the downsides of organizing a scientific symposium: you have to be there early to... well organize. Usually I don't do early mornings, today I make an exception - for science!

STC blog is finally back!

Apparently they still need to manually sort through images exported by original typepad platform (which came with no metadata/post association).

I'm just glad STC's back online again though.

Ray: Just a note to say STC is officially back up and running!! You can view our new home via smallthingsconsidered.blog

just a few more days, and then we'll be back...

@ContamClub So the students were supposed to make smears of sterile water, to check their technique. This one 1. did something weird with the streak technique and 2. got a really nice contaminant slightly outside her own drawing?
Anybody knows where the sun like structure comes from? The plate is about a week old, not super dry, grew at room temperature.
