I really enjoyed presenting some of my PhD results, learning from the different panels, and talking with everyone at #MMEG2025 🧪🦠🧬
Thanks to everyone involved in the organisation and see you next year in Sheffield for MMEG2026!

🎉 Exciting milestone … my first PhD paper has been accepted in the Journal of Experimental Biology! 🥳
Not all winter warming is equal: steady, mild winters increase activity and can cause molecular damage, but short, warm spells have little effect on wall lizards 🦎
An upland landscape in Scotland with trees and open areas.
PhD opportunity with me at University of Edinburgh linked with Forest Research, funded by E5 DTP.
On the microbial mechanisms of soil carbon cycling in tree-planted upland soils. Apply before 14th Dec. Please share with your network.

📣 New PhD student position opening in my lab!
Soils are full of microbes, but how many are active?
Surprisingly, we still lack reliable methods to answer this.
If you are interested in microbial dormancy and are fascinated by the Alps and glacier forefields, contact me.

PhD opportunity in my lab!
We’re looking for a proactive student to join our project on how CO dehydrogenase is regulated in response to atmospheric mercury.
Investigating genetic markers and mechanisms of CO dehydrogenase regulation in response to atmospheric mercury FindAPhD.com
Just published an interactive article about a magical algorithm known as the Burrows-Wheeler Transform, which powers sequence alignment tools like bowtie and bwa: sandbox.bio/concepts/bwt
It's also notoriously unintuitive so I'm hoping this article helps you build that intuition.
PhD opportunity to work in my lab at UEA, together with @drbradbrad.bsky.social and Marc Dumont “Linking AMR, global warming and CUE in deglaciated soils”

Picture of a bare fallow plot covered with a black fabric to prevent the growth of plants
Picture of me removing dry grass that flew in a bare fallow plot when I opened it to do the sampling
Picture of a 10 cm soil core with some interesting colour variation depending on depth
First PhD sampling completed!
I went to sample the blackout experiment with 20-year old bare fallow plots at the Henfaes Research Farm (Bangor University)
Here, we want to study SOM/SOC and the cycling of “old persistent” carbon in the absence of new fresh plant input.
"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants.
Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

Logo of OrthoHMM, a novel software for HMM-based inference of orthologous groups of genes
Benchmarking analysis of OrthoHMM and previously published algorithms. OrthoHMM has better precision, recall, and FMI scores. Benchmarking was conducted against the Orthobench dataset of expertly curated orthogroups
NEW preprint!🥳
Orthogroups are a prerequisite for comparative genomics and Tree of Life inquiries
