All samples made it home, our trip to Moab Khotsong gold mine was a full success. Thanks to an amazing team, help from friends, collaborators and support from funding agencies. 🧪⚒️

Lots of people have reached out asking how they can support us after the devastating fire in the MSL building, the heart of @cmarinescience.bsky.social Here’s one way, a GoFundMe organized by our graduate students - gofund.me/4373c6ff3. Please share widely, and thanks for helping our community!

Subsurface microbiology plays a critical role in shaping Earth's ecosystems, driving biogeochemical processes, and addressing critical environmental challenges. ISSM provides a unique forum for researchers to explore the complex interactions between subsurface microorganisms and their environments.
This years ISSM is in Vienna from Aug 30 - Sept 4, the early bird deadline is 15 June. As a premier conference in subsurface microbiology, the ISSM features exciting sessions and excellent keynote speakers. Spread the word, see you there.

Epic study out (preprint):
"Latitudinal diversity gradients and selective microbial exchange at the Atlantic ocean-air interface"
First author @bellahda.bsky.social did a phenomenal job! Truly multidisciplinary work along 14.000 km transect. So proud to be a part.

Day 3 at 2900 m depth is mainly for analyzing gas and isotope geochemistry. @davidbekaert.bsky.social brought a mass spec and colleagues from @whoi.edu and @ethz.ch are collecting ancient brines in pressure vessels. #darkoxygen @mblscience.bsky.social @hfspo.bsky.social #OxyMoRon #NASA #deeplife 🧪⚒️
Day 2 #NASA #OxyMoRon team is going sampling 1 billion-year old brines at 2900 m depth below surface. Walking 4km in the heat and dusty tunnels to get to our site and back. #mblscience ⚒️🧪 #darkoxygen #deeplife #microbiome @karenlloyd.bsky.social @jamesdinneen.bsky.social @hfspo.bsky.social
