"Op de brug tussen wetenschap en praktijk kan het nooit alleen maar eenrichtingsvekeer zijn"
Zou de afstand tussen wetenschap en samenleving de huidige bezuinigingen in de hand geworpen hebben?

Verlicht de wetenschap wel iedereen, of enkel academici? | NWO
Je kunt het een kloof noemen of, zoals de Rotterdamse socioloog Jeroen van der Waal, een ‘empathiemuur’. De afstand tussen academici en het meer praktisch opgeleide deel van de bevolking is er de laat...

This cool nature article clearly describes the myriad of applications of microbes: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
I particularly like the comment: "The only way to find out what happens on the moon, is to go to the moon"?

Microbes in space: how bacteria could help sustain long-distance space travel
So far, microorganisms have been research subjects or contaminants on space stations, but could they assist longer missions?

Check out this cool initiative of the Dutch Chemical Association (KNCV): www.eye-openers.nl/en/
Lots of videos of scientists describing their research and its potential implications.
Cool outreach project!

"The 2024 state of the climate report: perilous times on planet Earth" academic.oup.com/bioscience/a...
Powerful conclusions in this article:
- Decrease fossil fuel usage
- Mitigate methane emissions for short term mitigation
- (my favourite) Add climate change to high school curriculum

The 2024 state of the climate report: Perilous times on planet Earth
We are on the brink of an irreversible climate disaster. This is a global emergency beyond any doubt. Much of the very fabric of life on Earth is imperiled

Microbial interactions lead to ecosystem functioning

Cool article that very briefly summarizes the impact marine microbes have on carbon cycling in oceans.
Also, nice quote:
“scientists, just like marine microorganisms, need to interact for greater things to emerge”

Microbial interactions lead to ecosystem function - Nature Reviews Microbiology
In this Journal Club, Flora Vincent revisits a paper that summarized the ecological roles of microorganisms in the ocean ecosystem and that greatly impacted the field of marine microbiology.

Very cool popular science article that underlines the need to study "non model" microbes!
I especially like the quote "These are all things that are the weeds" by Brett Baker, from the University of Texas at Austin.

These are the 20 most-studied bacteria — the majority have been ignored
Model microbes such as Escherichia coli hog scientists’ attention, leaving most known bacteria with few publications devoted to them.
