Listening and #gazing at the first keynote talk from @mikebok.bsky.social from Lund University at the #biophdday_ku at @ucph.bsky.social. So interesting to hear and see the diversity of visual sensory organs from different invertebrates!

Pitched at #FallingWallsLab last week 🌍✨ Didn’t win, but left inspired, with new connections, and excited to keep sharing the hidden world of microbes. Next step: #ArcticBear_game 🎲 — a board game to show how microbes help protect our planet. #uArctic_project

Well… I didn’t win the prize but I did win on the experience 😉 😆
Genuinely, it was a great opportunity to translate my research, do some outreach and present my business idea! I’ll be posting my pitch very soon on my website 😉 #isoprene #uArctic_project

✨ Our second #HobbyTime session @voltcenter.bsky.social was a success! 🤩
It was wonderful to see some new faces join us today! We’ve doubled our attendance from 4 to 8 people! 🙌

Here’s what’s coming up next:
🎃 October – Halloween-themed fun
🍴🧁 November – Cooking & baking
🎄 December – Holiday décor

Today was the first step of something special for me: our debut #hobbytime session at @voltcenter.bsky.social
So grateful for those who came along today. The turnout (3:1 men!). I value carving out time to create, share, and grow creatively together. Many more to come. 🤞🏽👏🏾🤩

Another late night in the lab… and between sampling points I made this inspired by my #Sphagnum #moss floating in my vials #uArctic_project #scienceart #midnightart @voltcenter.bsky.social

#Trashtalk time 🙃
I’ve filled a whole lab trash can today… #proud and that’s saying something. Between my moss SIP progress and endless sample measurements, I think I’ve earned it. Who knew productivity could be measured in crumpled paper roll and syringes? 🧪🗑️ #uArctic_project

This is my first time using a #PTR-TOF to track isoprene consumption over time… huge thanks to @voltcenter.bsky.social! 🤓
In the previous image, the black peaks represent #12C isoprene and the red ones show #13C isoprene. Concentrations are around 5–10 ppmv.

🏔️Thrilled to see these little peaks emerging… so rewarding after all the planning! My SIP enrichment started yesterday. #uArctic_project #stable #isotopes #isoprene #sneakpeak #VOCpeak 🫣

🫧 At the end of 2024, I submitted a photo to a competition organized by the BIO Postdoc Network group (@ucph.bsky.social). I’m happy to see it featured for 31 days—as the image for July! 😍

The photo is titled “Holding On to Its Breath”. It makes this month feel more special 🌿📸

Just wrapped a whirlwind 5-day trip at Abisko! Amazing weather, smooth sampling at 🌿Stordalen, 🍂 Multe & 💧Vassijaure, and ended with a Tundra Talk 💬 Grateful for the dream team: Jing, Ida & esp. Jonathan from @voltcenter.bsky.social ! 📸🧪💚 #Fieldwork #ArcticVibes #uArctic_project

Good morning!
We have been so lucky with the weather… today is another beautiful morning from the Abisko Research Station! 🏔️

We will be visiting Vassijaure lake today! #uArctic_project

Here we are, just 2 postdocs searching for Arctic moss and shrub samples… 🍃 🌳 🌱 for the #uArctic_project!

The sampling day has begun and it’s a great pleasure to have such an excellent sampling companion Jonathan Donhauser from @voltcenter.bsky.social!

After our registration and welcome talk by @riikkarinnan.bsky.social last night, we are at the first day of talks for the ‘1st International Symposium on Volatile Interactions in Ecosystems’.

🤩 1st plenary speaker is Kimberly Halsey @oregonstate.edu ‘Investigations on the microbiology of VOCs’ 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

📣“3, 2, 1… VOC”📣

The best way to finish our PhD course is a wonderful group picture! 📸

Thank you to all the lecturers, students, fellow organisers and colleagues for making this event unforgettable!

⚙️We are now changing gears for the @voltcenter.bsky.social symposium! ⚙️

Our last lecture of this years PhD course is delivered by our own @voltcenter.bsky.social postdocTamás Plaszkó! His lecture is called ‘Generating reproducible and pretty data analysis reports with Quarto”. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

@unimarburg.bsky.social’s Robert Junker is now telling us about the difference between #chemodiversity and #functional #diversity with his talk ‘(Novel) statistics in chemical ecology: chemodiversity and RandomForest’ 🍃 💨

@andreaghirardo.bsky.social gave a fascinating talk on the "Use of #13C-labelling technique to study the biosynthesis and regulation of #terpenoids".
Here is a little clip of our own @voltcenter.bsky.social director @riikkarinnan.bsky.social asking a question 🤔

#students had a chance to explore the results from 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing, published in 5 different #DNA-SIP studies using #13C-isoprene.

I spoke about my #PhD work @biouea.bsky.social "Decoding #isoprene #degradation: #microbial #ecology through #DNA-SIP" and a little introduction to my @ec.europa.eu funded #uArctic_project 🍃 🦠
