Day 1 of our 'Science meets Art' retreat was fantastic! We had an inspiring talk from prof. Noam Mizrahi and a great visit to the @israelmuseum. Afterward, we continued our project, creating new art pieces inspired by the invisible world of microbes. ๐ฆ

On this World Children's Day, it important to remind the world there are more than 40 children kidnapped in Gaza by Hamas-ISIS, a jihadist terror organization.
These children were kidnapped only because they were Jewish and Israeli.
We want a different ending.

Beautiful new work by the @ThePopeLab uncovering metabolic effects of rumen Protozoa.
11 May 2023
Protozoa can be ๐บ50% of the microbial biomass in the rumen and have big influence on digestion and H2 production (leading to methane). BUT they are HARD to study, especially in vivo! @andersen__thea adds her PhD piece to the puzzle in @ISMEJournal nature.com/articles/s41396-0โฆโฆ 1/6

In today's date, ~1.7 million bacterial genomes are being hosted in NCBI.
Salmonella Enterica and Escherichia Coli represent around 40% of those genomes.
Considering only the species that make 1% or more , we have 12 bacteria summing to ~64% of all bacterial genomes.
