I'm a molecular microbiologist, most passionate about extremophilic microorganisms. I am also engaged into scientific outreach, actively collaborating with artists to disseminate scientific knowledge through art. Fan of Pink Floyd and good movies.

Thrilled (and proud!) to see our paper published in @microbiotech.bsky.social
I thank my co-authors for their contribution. I also thank my friend Solimán López with whom I discovered the true potential of Art as a way to contribute to the microbiology literacy of our fellow citizens.

Taking Stock of the Known and Unknown Microbial Space - Biosciences Area Using publicly available genome sequence data generated over the past three decades, JGI researchers assess the known fraction of microbial diversity.

In Science Advances: "We took a deep dive into over 1.8 million bacterial and archaeal genomes to see how much of their diversity we’ve actually captured. Turns out that despite all the genomes we’ve sequenced, we’ve only scratched the surface." -Dongying Wu
