Last day of #ASMicrobe, with a lot of exciting talks and sessions still to come !
Including one near and dear to my heart: long-term dynamics of environmental microbiomes, where we'll hear all about time-series 'omics datasets across many ecosystems, from rivers to soils to insects (and more) 🎉

Re-analysis of over 92,000 metagenomes reveals hundreds of thousands of previously undescribed Bacterial and Archaeal clades hidden in plain sight.
Integrated palaeontological, sedimentological and geochemical analyses of ancient rocks from Australia show that early eukaryotes were largely restricted to oxygenated benthic habitats, probably posse...

Cataloguing Earth's biodiversity remains one of the most formidable challenges in biology, and the greatest diversity is expected to reside among the smallest organisms: microbes. Yet the ongoing cens...
I predicted someone like Trump many years ago, in THE DEAD ZONE. So now I'm saying this--in the next 12-16 months, we're going to find out if the two machines for the removal of a man unable to fulfill his duties actually work. They are impeachment and the 25th amendment. He is deeply unwell .
