I needed google translate to read into this blog, but appreciated the honesty of @xinmingxu.bsky.social on her academic path, the @cp-trendsmicrobiol.bsky.social cover, and the test of co-authors' friendships while preparing the connected SynCom review mp.weixin.qq.com/s/QH_TPdhSpk...

Closing keynote by Eran Elinava🌙🦠 at #FEMS2025 Eran explained why circadian rhythms matters——Industrial evolution allow us disrupt day-night cycles which highly boost human productivity; we can work night shifts and fly over time zones It’s time to unlock the power of microbe clock 🌱🕒 #FEMS2025

FEMS wouldn’t be complete without plant microbes! 🌿🦠 Ines Mandic Mulec hosts today’s plant-microbe interactions session, opening with Tessa Reid from Rothamsted Research. Did you know the wheat genome is five times bigger than the human genome?!

How to write a grant? 1. The application is for the reviewer, not you, the applicant. 2. Communicate in stories. 3. Make your story cohesive—leave no puzzling gaps. 4. Make your story resonate to keep the reviewer reading. 5. Accept chance and noise in peer-review. www.pnas.org/doi/epub/10....
