Excited to join #ISME20, my first conference as a newly hired assistant professor at @laurierbiology.bsky.social ! I will give a talk on Friday at 14:30 (AS15.2, Biogeochemical cycles) on our isolation of filamentous methanotrophs >150 yr after their early observation. Check it out if interested!

The gang of Iwamites from the #FishStress tribute session to #GeorgeIwama (fifth from the left) at the #ICBF2026 conference in Vancouver. I joined George's lab at #UBC as an undergrad and went on to do my MSc with him. Great times. Thank you George for the best of starts.
