Distraction from *all of this*, a podcast about Archaea by Archaea scientists and enthusiasts. This particular episode is about how Archaea contribute to farts (and shape the microbiome). It's informative and lighthearted! rss.com/podcasts/arc...

We've released a new episode of Archaeacast today! This one focuses on my favorite bugs- Methanogens! We discuss the discovery of methane, the Wolfe Cycle, the End-Permian Extinction, and the possibility of extra-terrestrial life. Followed by a delightful interview with @nbuan.bsky.social. #Archaea

Comic. PERSON: It’s weird how, despite being one of the main branches of the tree of life, no archaea species are known to cause disease in humans. PERSON WITH SHORT HAIR: Personally, I think it’s because those gross methane breathers are too weird and incompetent to figure out how to hurt us even if they wanted to. [from small point under microscope on desk]: *Hey!* [caption] Bad news: After overhearing a conversation in our lab, Archaea has finally started harming humans.

The archaeal S-layer is not only pretty, it also carries crucial cellular functions, and the list keeps growing! @sshamphavi.bsky.social @marleenvw.bsky.social @archaellum.bsky.social and I wrote a little sheath sheet (+10 pts if you got the pun) 📖 Curr Opin Cell Biol 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...
