Studying aquatic microbes at UT Austin in the Baker Microbial Ecology Lab. How did life begin? What are the limits of life? And Is there life on other planets?

Are you at the International Conference on the Geo-Omics of Archaea (ICGOA) in Shenzhen this weekend?
Come say hello at the poster session and check out my latest pre-print on a methane producing consortia dominated by ANME archaea.

Centred on microscopic footage of one small microbe during its final moments, this short makes for an intriguing and surprisingly moving reflection on life, death and the imprecise boundaries between these two states @JourneyToMicro aeon.co/videos/an-elegy-for-…

In our new paper at Cell (@CellCellPress), we reveal secrets of how the third form of life, archaea, make energy. We uncover new lineages of hydrogen-using enzymes, both minimal and complex. These help archaea thrive in all sorts of extreme environments. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

I was reminded of this editorial doi.org/10.1016/j.ydbio.2023… in Developmental Biology when I saw my cell bio professor on campus today. "As scientists, it is essential for us to advocate for positive evolution within the scientific publishing system..."

Just wanted to call out and see if anyone knew of any postbacc positions/lab tech roles for a student I know who wants to gain some more experience prior to graduate school! He is interested in EEB research particularly marine community ecology/trophic interactions but 1/2

It's #MicroscopyMonday, so let's take a look into the 🔬!
Researchers at the MBL mapped the full-body muscular activity of Hyrda Vulgaris while it was moving and behaving using a technique called calcium imaging.

Not trying to sway you one way or the other, of course. Just dropping this picture of the smallest Hummingbird Bobtail Squid next to a paperclip...

It may surprise you to know that older bodies of water are much better for finding hotspots of ciliate diversity.
Like the old lake in Warsaw, where our master of microscopes found this unique ciliate that hasn't been seen in 90 years. youtu.be/zgjo6fAH16I

I’ve been dreaming of this paper for a decade. One PhD and one postdoc later, here it is!
What do ecology and evolution look like in a 20-year freshwater time series? Turns out they blur together.

It's #MicroscopyMonday, so let's take a peek into the 🔬! Because of their clear tissues, Northern Star Coral (A. poculata) are also used to image critical events like bleaching.
