The MicroClock Team had the first retreat in Munich, discussing plans, experimental approaches, data analyses, and allowing trainees to get to know each other We are grateful to Luis Larrondo @lflarrondo.bsky.social for his recommendations about the MicroClock research plan during the retreat 🙏

We also realized that B. subtilis abundance in soil is variable (by @xinmingxu.bsky.social). The natural isolates were also used to explore circadian rhythm (with Martha Merrow and @antdodd.bsky.social), now continued within @microclockerc.bsky.social #ERCSyG [7/n]
