Exciting new methane research: Huge credit to @annajwallenius.bsky.social & Andy Leu for using nifty bioinformatics to disentangle 8 novel MAGs of 'Candidatus Methanoborealis' This is version 1 of our #bioRxiv preprint. Aanalysis is ongoing & we welcome your feedback! doi.org/10.64898/202...

Hey BlueSky, nice to meet you! I'm an environmental microbiologist & science illustrator 🎨 here's some stuff I like to draw! I've done kid's books, graphical abstracts, lots of birds, and even a scientific journal cover on its way 💫 (Actually if you want anything drawn, I have some availability.. 🤔)
