It’s been a pleasure to give a keynote talk at the Geomicrobiology Network Research in Progress meeting in Manchester. A second keynote will follow at the Redox Active minerals in Natural Systems meeting in Manchester.
Plus I met some great scientists including Prof. Jon Lloyd and listened to exciting science.
Some tweets of my talk:
It is only a couple of days since Mon has relocated to Netherlands (Radboud University) for her PhD environment exchange. In Netherlands, she is developing genetics in methanogens together with Assist. Prof. Cornelia Welte in the lab of Prof. Mike Jetten. Genetics in methanogens is a critical tool to broaden our understanding of electron transfer in methanogens growing on electrodes or by direct interspecies electron transfer.
At the end of her stay Mon will also join the EMBO practical course “Breathless microbes” which will take place in Wageningen, NL.
We hope Mon will get very interesting results and learn a lot during her stay in the Netherlands.
We are excited about this new collaboration with Cornelia and Mike. And we’re grateful for their support and that of the Soehngen Institute of Anaerobic Microbiology for the SIAM talent grant awarded to Mon for this journey.
