At the open day we talked about all the cool research ITQB NOVA is doing, topics like #AMR, #microbiome, #plantsciences, #chemistry, #cellbiology, our #citizenscience project #MicroMundo@Oeiras, #microscopy and much much more! A lot of questions and interest for science! Truly rewarding! #happy

This week we had an amazing science #outreach period at @itqbnova.bsky.social! We had the #openday which had over 2000 visitors. Also our guest Federico from @cambridgeuni.bsky.social was kind enough to volunteer for the "A scientist walks into a school" to talk about #DNA #nanostructures and #AMR

We have quite a range of PhD projects this year, covering cryo-EM methods, bacteriology/bioenergetics, and infection/antibiotics/vaccines. Would really appreciate if people can RT and share with their teams!

New paper out in @ScienceMagazine! In 8 studies (multiple platforms, methods, time periods) we find: misinformation evokes more outrage than trustworthy news, when it does it's shared more + ppl are less likely to read before sharing. w/ @killianmcl1 @Klonick @mollycrockett πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡

It’s out!! We subjected soils from 30 different locations across Europe to extreme events and found that soil fungal and bacterial communities showed consistent responses that could be predicted from their origin! With @knightjar.bsky.social and many collaborators!

A framework for understanding collective microbiome metabolism - Nature Microbiology This Perspective explores why microbiome members perform partial metabolism of substrates and suggests that proteome efficiency is a driver of collective microbiome metabolism.

My friend & colleague @micsysecolab.bsky.social Matthias has written this extremely insightful and fascinating perspective on bacterial collective metabolism, out now in @naturemicrobiol.bsky.social. So happy to see this out & super excited for proteome allocation! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
