Spent two weeks in the Arctic, on the Norwegian vessel Kronprins Haakon, together with a multidisciplinary group of scientists led by @giulianapanieri, to investigate the abiotic methane seeps in the Arctic Ocean, using the ROV ÆGIR 6000

Just returned from the 6th Japanese-American-German Kavli Frontiers of Science Symposium in Irvine. 3 full days spent with many scientists from different disciplines.
What an awesome experience!
Thanks again for the opportunity to attend and present a poster.

It also identifies key gene expression changes in taxonomically similar biofilms as they transition from the subseafloor to the seafloor.

This study presents a new framework for understanding biofilm development at deep-sea vents, highlighting a shift from niche-specific pioneer communities in early-stage biofilms to more diverse, mature communities.

Thanks to Ashley Grosche, Francesco Smedile, @donatogiovannelli.bsky.social, Sara Borin, Nadine Lebris and Costantino Vetriani for making it possible.

The chemosynthetic biofilm microbiome of deep-sea hydrothermal vents across space and time - Environmental Microbiome Microbial biofilms colonize mineral and biological substrates exposed to fluid circulation at deep-sea hydrothermal vents, providing a biologically active interface along redox boundaries. Since many ...

Flash talk presentation at the conference #Extremophiles24 in Greece. Thanks also to all the organizers for the splendid conference.

From my PhD thesis to Environmental Research journal! We show in this paper that recreational hot springs harbor a larger population of potential pathogens compared to remote natural hot springs
