Hej, I am looking for a partner university library, preferably in the EU, that would be willing to actively get involved in hosting and managing a non-profit journal. I have a half finished grant proposal for it on my desk, but my university has declined their support.

Signs of having an editor as the reviewer: a reviewer requested to cite five random articles from a journal we were submitting a manuscript to. This leaves a bad taste.

Part 2: We raised our ethical concerns before the editorial board. They apologized for the bad choice, but instead of removing the reviewer from the list, they told us to ignore that line of the review. 🤔
It was a pleasure to have Sarahi Garcia as our first virtual guest speaker in our group seminar series with a great talk about "Freshwater microbial diversity, functions and interactions". Thank you so much @sarilog! 👩‍💻👏🤗

Not only sprouts can break through asphalt. Found this beauty (most likely a puffball) when cycling home. #fungirock 🍄😃 #fungi

Can we engineer natural microbial communities? Nice paper on marine polymer degraders short1.link/4VJj8c
Looking forward to the upcoming days at #TransCon2019 ! Such a wonderful location.
Excited that #TransCon2019 is off and running where chemicals and microorganisms come together. Will post exciting “learned” points over the next 4.5 days.
