Bowman Lab member Beth Connors is back in Antarctica for a THIRD field season! She will spend 6 months on ice studying bacteria and carbon flow at #PalmerStation. More photos coming soon!!
PhD students Riley Hale @riley_hale8 and Benjamin Klempay @BenjaminKlempay dove to retrieve a sample of Newlight Technologies plastic cutlery for a study assessing the microbial degradation of various plastic types in marine environments! Stay tuned for more results on the study
The world's largest microbiology meeting and I can't find a mask, what's up @ASMicrobiology? #ASMicrobe
After 4 weeks of daily micro plate measurements, our Masters student Ruth finished her co-culture experiment looking into increased growth rates of Dunaliella salina when co-cultured with various halophilic archaea & bacteria in different salinities. Exciting results to come!
So great to see AbGradCon in person! At SIO! #AbGradCon2023 #Astro4Life
New paper led by former Bowman Lab postdoc Avishek Dutta out today on Antarctic MAGs! Lots of novel diversity and chemoautotrophic potential frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… #bowmanlabsio #Antarctica
It's not pretty but it works! In addition to our topside membrane inlet mass spec and IFCB the #scrippsecologicalobservatory now has a CTD with dissolved O2 and fluorescence and a SUNA NO3- sensor. Thanks @riley_hale8, Caitlyn, and amazing undergrads for their hard work!
Check out PhD candidate Natalia Erazo @PacificaGalud and her involvement with the National Microbiome Data Collaborative Ambassador Program! They're striving for FAIR multi-omics data & metadata stewardship among microbiome researchers across the country. nature.com/articles/s4156…
Quantifying marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) efficacy and uncertainty #OCB2023 Speakers M Long, M Tyka, J DeAngelo - more soon! (Chairs P Rafter, J Palter, T DeVries, N Wiseman, D Nicholson) Register web.whoi.edu/ocb-workshop Apply for lightning talk forms.gle/zhixxFn3AyqRcy…
It's a dino party, who can ask for more, the water's really stinky, leave your epitheca at the door... ifcb.caloos.org/timeline?datas…
New postdoctoral research opportunity! polarmicrobes.org/new-postdoctor…
For the early career astrobiologists out there... abstract submission closes at midnight tonight!

Congrats to Srishti Dasarathy for her new paper in GRL! Summertime aerosols in the Southern Ocean likely linked to biological activity. doi.org/10.1029/2022GL… #bowmanlabsio
And we're off! Thank you Palmer Station for an amazing season (which continues for Beth Connors for several more weeks). Time to rock and roll our way back across the Drake...
The LMG returns! We're expecting a very fast turnaround and should be underway to Punta Arenas in 30 hours or so. It's been an amazing season but look forward to getting home... #palmer2023
Who says penguins can't fly? Absolutely appalling sea state while sampling today, but hey, flying penguins! #palmer2023 #bowmanlabsio
Still seeking interested students and postdocs to help organize this year's OCB summer workshop plenary sessions! forms.gle/HbpXKkZh2azaq2… Please submit your expression of interest by Jan. 23!

The Laurence Gould returns to Palmer Station! A few days behind schedule so it's going to be a crazy port call to get everything ready for the Palmer LTER cruise. Beth will depart Palmer Station for the cruise on Saturday morning if all goes well... #palmer_2023 #bowmanlabsio
