Proud to share that I am included in the world's top 2% of scientists! I only found out through reviewing CVs and motivation letters of candidates for the postdoc position in my lab. 🎉🙏 #LFEE #TeamLaboul #newPI

And as if it won't be busy enough, I am writing another large proposal with colleagues from the University of Warsaw. So many ideas, too little time! #newPI

Done! 🍄🍄‍🟫

The lab will soon also advertise a new PhD position. This student will be studying either multitrophic interactions of bats, bat flies, and microfungi, or entomopathogenic fungi. Spread the word! #hiring #LFEE #newPI

Preprints of book chapters A few years ago, I was offered the opportunity to edit a book, named “Biodiversity and Evolution of Fungal Parasites and Pathogens” (Elsevier). This project has taken up countless hours writing to …

A few years ago, I said yes to editing a book about fungal #parasites and #pathogens. After endless revisions, emails, and deadline reminders, it’s finally coming together. The book will be out in 2026, but 11 chapters are already online as #Preprints. www.dannyhaelewaters.com/preprints-of...

And no fungi!?

One day you find the job of a lifetime and you find yourself ... building drawer blocks for the student office. #newPI

My Q is: 4 manuscripts, in one day?! I was only able to work on a section of the discussion of 1 manuscript today! 🙉

Glad to have been in Drøbak, #Norway to teach during the workshop on #Laboulbeniales. This was funded through an #Artsdatabanken project, which will hopefully see a continuation.

Amidst the craziness that is being a #newPI and teaching classes, we also have four children and are renovating a house. Living life at the fullest. This evening I'm taking a break from the rate race: just a dinner & evening stroll 👌

Incredibly proud of this manuscript. Two reviews came back with no – no! – input other than praise for our writing. This is my PhD student Libelje's first chapter presenting the first checklist of fungi from #Honduras. So excited to seeing this published! 🍄❤️ #LFEE #LuminaQuaeruntur #newPI

Our group discussion during the first class on #WritingScience revealed many good and bad habits to writing. Fun to see what works for some but doesn't for others. @ds-ugent.bsky.social @michieldegroot.bsky.social

Seeing Rhodotus palmatus (common name: wrinkled peach) in Białowieża National Park this week reminded me that I should finalize an old manuscript on this fungus in the USA. Spoiler: American collections of R. palmatus are a different species! #studentproject #summerschool #taxonomy 🍄🍑

We are starting to prepare a manuscript on #FunDive for this special issue!
