It was great to be at #ISMET9 together with part of my team!
Proud of the work they shared and the discussions we had with the wider community.
A warm thank you to Falk & Miriam, and their teams for organizing such an inspiring and well-run @ismetsociety.bsky.social conference.

At #ISMET9 today, #SilviaBolognesi presented microbial electro-methanogenesis (#deCENT), #LauraFeliu shared results on clostridial cocultures, and #PabloBenavides highlighted MES–microalgae for aviation fuels (#ALGAESOL). Great exchanges with the community!
