I’m still feeling inspired after yesterday’s #UPV Vienna event at @univie.ac.at ! A huge thank you to all the speakers and panelists — you really brought to life both the challenges and the shared responsibility we all have in protecting #science in Europe and beyond.

New preprint from our team! Experimental evidence that ammonia-oxidizing archaea in sponges use branched chain amino acids as substrates - possibly also key for host interaction
