MicroBiologist 🙆🏽‍♀️🦠🔬working on plastic-pollution in soil @RilligLab Berlin. Interested in our future live in the plastisphere - of human and microbes
Last Saturday, I hosted the reading group "Come into My Niche: On Microbes and Intimacy" 💚 @HKWBerlin. We unraveled concepts of #microbial niche separation, co-evolution of #microbiomes, violence of anti-microbial & colonial language and looked for a more (microbe)inclusive concept of the human self

Better than Christmas 🎄 I’m officially #PhDone with 5 years of research on the #soil #plastisphere. Thank you to all my friends and family, to helpful colleagues and everyone who supported me during this journey at @gfz.bsky.social

Paper out in @BioMedCentral

1/ 🌱 We did a first #metatranscriptome study on #biofilm succession in the #soil #plastisphere and tracked #polyethylene (PE) plastics in soil over 53 days. Insights into biofilm dynamics, #plasticdegradation, and nitrogen fixation ahead! 🧵

Excited and smoking heads on our #microplastic pot experiment that is getting started for MINAGRIS Europe at @mrillig.bsky.social

168 plants
3 microplastic types and two agricultural pollutants
