Paola in the USA
At the beginning of August, Paola went for a three-month environment exchange to UMASS Amherst where she will work with our collaborators Prof. Derek Lovley and Prof. Dawn Holmes. During her stay, Paola will learn how to do genetics in Geobacter and other organisms. She’s also taking a course...
Return
Both Mon and I returned to SDU after our journeys abroad. I returned after a 6 months research stay at UMASS Amherst and Mon returned after a 2 months research stay at Radboud University in Nijmegen where she worked with Cornelia Welte. Mon participated in an EMBO anaerobic microbiology...
Visiting US collaborators
At the beginning of August, I gave talks on direct interspecies electron transfer at the University of California Dana and Dornsife and at Stanford University. With this occasion, I visited collaborators (Moh El Naggar and Alfred Spormann), their labs and their groups. We hope that in the future we will...
Geomicrobiology meeting and Redox Meeting in Manchester UK
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...
Breathless microbes
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...
