Thank youu ☺️

A true showcase of teamwork! The DACH Geobiology Symposium 2025 took place on September 18 - 19, 2025, at the @nhmwien.bsky.social 🦠🪨💧

Thank you to @groundwaterecology.bsky.social for welcoming me to the LOC with open arms - it was a pleasure to work alongside you all 🙌🏼🫂

It was such a great talk to listen to! 🙌🏻

yesterday’s commute was different 🧚 got to present some of my recent work @amicimicrobiome.bsky.social 🤸 it was fun!

One week to go until the D-A-CH Geobiology Symposium — an exciting platform for discussion, collaboration, and new insights in geobiology!

New @fwf-at.bsky.social CoE Microplanet Publication @nature.com! A study from the lab of CoE Researcher Alexander Loy @loyteam.bsky.social @cemess.bsky.social @univie.ac.at uncovers bacteria that “breathe” rocks using toxic sulfide in oxygen-free environments. Link: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We're thrilled to celebrate Joana Góis Valério @joanalgv.bsky.social, who has been awarded a DOC Fellowship by the Austrian Academy of Sciences (#ÖAW)!

At CeMESS, she’s investigating how beneficial bacteria like Variovorax join root microbiomes: 🔗 cemess.univie.ac.at/news/detail-...

D-A-CH Geobiology Symposium is happening for the first time here in Vienna! Don’t forget to register 👇🏻

Exciting news #2! CoE Key Researcher Dagmar Woebken (@cemess.bsky.social, @univie.ac.at) receives an ERC Advanced Grant to explore how desert microbes thrive on non-rainwater (dew, water vapor).
