So good news, I got a job offer in London! 🎉
Bad news, my husband has applied for 30 positions with no interviews.
If anyone has any connections in London in the information security space, I would be eternally grateful

Long days in the annual MarMic Sylt field excursion :) , sometimes it doesn't rain... Just some snapshots, including the iron sulfide band in the mud flat sediments, with a top layer of diatoms.

Bringing the uncultivated microbial majority of freshwater ecosystems into culture - Nature Communications
A large fraction of aquatic bacteria remains uncultured. Here, the authors cultivated 627 strains of abundant freshwater bacteria from 14 European lakes, thus generating a collection that includes many previously uncultured, oligotrophic bacteria that may serve as model organisms.

This is my 1st time catching my pet archer fish, Legolas, spitting on camera. Archerfish use modified jaw and tongue bones to fire a jet of water to knock down bugs from over hanging vegetation. Here Legolas is shooting down a fruit fly 🪰 🐠🧪
