Such a cool hypothesis for microbial dispersal!

New manuscript on trace gas oxidation in aerobic archaea out at Nature Communications. Much expanded from the preprint, we show atmospheric hydrogen oxidation by novel hydrogenases enhances survival and may facilitate dispersal at suboptimal temperatures. nature.com/articles/s4146… 1/2

New paper!!! A thread 😸 - I am happy to share our new publication on 'species-resolved, single-cell respiration rates' that we were able to measure in a deep continental subsurface ecosystem!

Looking forwards to sharing a little about my time in Antarctica at this online event next Monday. Come along - it's open to all!

Register for this APECS-O webinar to hear a lil recap of my time in Dronning Maud Land, and from lots of other excellent scientists about their recent fieldwork experiences!

Highly recommend this for anyone keen to get radio and interview experience. Dr Shane and team are great conversationalists.

Come along to the first APECS-O event of the year!

The Simons Postdoctoral Fellowships in Marine Microbial Ecology are now open for applications! Read more at the link below. Deadline to apply: 5/7. simonsfoundation.org/grant/simons-p…

Had to pull some of the cold weather gear back out this week, as Tess Hutchinson and I spent a few hours in the 4 degree room setting up the first experiments with our soil samples from Antarctica 🥶🥼❄️ Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future

Read on for a recap of our expedition to Queen Maud Land this past season, and stay tuned for the data - experiments started back in the lab today!

Sharing our new manuscript in The ISME Journal led by Dr Tess Hutchinson and Perran Cook. By tracking how the carbon in glucose is broken down in samples and isolates, she definitely shows fermentation dominates in sands, anaerobic respiration in muds. academic.oup.com/ismej/article/…

Bunger Hills was previously known as Bunger Lakes; after exploring the area it’s easy to see why. Our lake samples collected during antarctica.gov.au DTC will help Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future & ANSTO researchers better understand the vulnerability of these indicators of environmental change
