Leafy greens may do more than nourish you! A new study by #CeMESS researchers @julkras.bsky.social and @loyteam.bsky.social shows that sulfoquinovose is metabolized by key gut microbes into hydrogen sulfide, revealing intriguing prebiotic potential.

Truly honoured (and super happy) to announce that I am now a DOC Fellow! @oeaw.bsky.social ✨🪩
Grateful for the opportunity and excited to be part of such an inspiring community.

Huge thanks to Shaul @envsysmicro.at and collaborators Omri Finkel @finkel-lab.bsky.social and Magnus Nordborg 🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️

Great podcast recording with Nicole Geerlings for #MattersMicrobial about weird and wonderful cable bacteria! I truly enjoyed the session. Releasing next week. @nmjgeerlings.bsky.social

Exciting news #2! CoE Key Researcher Dagmar Woebken (@cemess.bsky.social, @univie.ac.at) receives an ERC Advanced Grant to explore how desert microbes thrive on non-rainwater (dew, water vapor).

I really enjoy how multidisciplinary approaches are bringing us closer to mechanistic understanding of plant growth promotion traits.
Just heard a talk by prof. Yan Jin on the physics of how Bacillus subtilis changes salt evaporation and precipitation at #rhizosphere6.

If you'd like to see how we link #PlanMicrobeInteraction research from #lab to #field, and from individual 🌱🦠 in controlled systems, to the field- where we 👀 at #roots, full #microbiomes, and #soil in the #field, stop by poster 311 today. #Rhizosphere6 🧪 #PlantScience #SoilHealth

My @cemess.bsky.social colleague @loutsi.bsky.social gave a great talk on root traits in a young forest system so now I finally know what she did in Costa Rica! #rhizosphere6

I really enjoyed Doris Vetterlein‘s talk at the #rhizosphere6 on the legacy of rhizosphere. An important and often overlooked topic on what stays in the soil after the roots!

Ab 2027 soll der #Steinitzsteg für Fuß- und Radverkehr 5 Jahre lang gesperrt werden. Dagegen haben wir protestiert!

Liebe @spoewien.bsky.social & @neos.eu, helft @wien.gv.at #Klimamusterstadt zu werden und haltet eine Spur für aktive Mobilität offen!

Next: #HolidayBikeRide 4.7. – save the date!

Today we celebrate International Day of Girls and Women in Science: 2025 marks it's 10th anniversary and the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, two significant milestones in the global effort to promote gender equality and women's #empowerment.

And a throwback to my first ever twitter post, which was perhaps a bigger hit than anything else I wrote and even got me retweeted 😅

Hello Bluesky!
When I exited twitter a few years ago, it was mostly because I found the twitter-to-X takeover sad and its owner childish. Now I can also add "fascist". Anyways, happy to be here and looking forward to interesting reads!
