Here's something we've been working on over the last year. Please share!
Dive into Earth and Environmental Science @WesternU - we look forward to seeing you and the impact you will make! @westernuEarth @VPRWesternU #EarthScience #EnvironmentalScience – at London, Ontario

Explored microbial adaptation mechanisms in Uranium-rich polymetallic mine tailings @HAZMAT_journal. We delve into the intricate biogeochemical cycling of Uranium & critical minerals. @JoelBrugger @JeremiahShuster

The Tübingen Geomicrobiology Group has an open Postdoc position to study "Magnetite biogeobatteries as (eco-)engineering systems for wastewater treatment, recovery of phosphate and energy production". More information on our webpage: uni-tuebingen.de/de/84441
It looks like a children's book but it's actually a very insightful book about #SEM instrument function, sample preparation, artefacts, and applications. Thank you, Karen, for the cute resource!

Our next free public event is about Spooky Minerals and Fossils for Halloween! Come see our demonstration of minerals that glow under UV light! Saturday, October 21st from 1pm-5pm at the R.W. Hutchinson Geoscience Collaborative Suite (NCB 120)! uwo.ca/earth/geocollections/…
Today, I felt like an academic baby dinosaur. An incoming 1st year student asked me, "What was university like in the past?" A genuine and valid question. To me, the phrasing implied a time period in the 1900s. He meant the early 2000s...when I was an undergrad. Now, I feel old.

Great to see our interdisciplinary research on the biogeochemistry of noble/heavy metals has been published in Chemosphere J.
A great collaboration with @PukalaLab (proteomic analysis) Special thanks to my superb mentors @JoelBrugger, @JeremiahShuster.

If this gets to 10k supporters it has the possibility of becoming a real Lego set. Tell me you don't want a Lego microscope on your desk! ideas.lego.com/projects/36ba…
Today is my first day as an Assistant Professor at @WesternU. I'm excited for this new chapter of my "academic journey" to begin. I am grateful for my mentors, collaborators, and friends who have supported me. I look forward to developing #geomicrobiology here @westernuEarth.

My first attempt at creating a false color image. From @drehercarolin, taken by @JeremiahShuster, showing cyanobacteria (green) and Shewanella (purple) co-culture that is making Fe-Si minerals (orange) relevant to ancient Banded Iron Formation (BIF). @GeomicroTueb @SteveHRO

Silk strands emerging from glands on a spider’s abdomen. Spider silk is a protein that hardens as it emerges. It can be as strong as steel, has wound healing properties and is being investigated for microscale optical fibres.

Meet Gordon, a microbiologist on #exp399 from University of Queensland. Gordon negotiates with the geologists to secure rocks that will be smashed with a hammer into smaller pieces to look for evidence of microbes. What questions do you have for Gordon?

Prof. Gordon Southam @UQ_sees hiding behind a mask to protect the rock microbes from being contaminated. @anzic_iodp
We have microbiologists on #Exp399 collecting samples from the cores we bring up from below the sea floor. Since the team is looking for the presence of microbes, it is important for everyone to wear appropriate PPE to protect the samples from potential contamination

This September, with @GeomicrobioNet we will be hosting our research-in-progress meeting at the University of Limerick, with keynote talks by @GKuippers and Prof John Coates! Registration is free and details and abstract submission can be found at:

Today's micrograph: A sample of Acidovorax sp. strain BoFeN1, which is an iron(II)-oxidising #bacterium. We can see that iron minerals appear to accumulate on the extracellular surface. This sample was provided by Junjie Zhu.
Fun #SEM times in the @TSM_UniTue and @GeomicroTueb.
Today's micrograph: A sample provided by Yu Pei. Here, we have cells of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans amongst two different #minerals. The minerals are likely schwertmannite and jarosite.
Fun #SEM times in the @TSM_UniTue and @GeomicroTueb.
