Read and hear about the Indigo V expedition
Heres an interview with our expedition leader and skipper extraordinaire Federico Lauro on ABC 702 Radio, Sydney
and rcent articles from the Sydney Morning Herald
“Anchors aweigh for team studying microscopic creatures”
and the UNSW Newsroom
Be a marine microbe!!! FlOw is a game about piloting an aquatic organism through a surreal biosphere where players consume other organisms, evolve, and advance their organisms to the abyss.
Thanks to the Sydney Institute of Marine Science, Sydney Harbour Research Programme for a new seed grant ($12,500), led by UTS along with researchers from UNSW and Macquarie Univsersity
Our camp at Organic Lake, Antarctica during the summer of 2008-9
Congratulations to erstwhile virus hunter Sheree Yau for a new manuscript in ISMEJ detailing the goings on in Organic Lake, Antarctica using a combination of metagenomics and biogeochemistry. This paper uses samples we collected during the 2008/9 expedition.

Just thought id share an interview Tiffanie did last year about her PhD project examining gut bacteria in wild and captive seal Antarctic seals.
Lauren Messer (UTS) presented the very first results of our collaboration with Dr Claire Mahaffey from the University of Liverpool, concerning rates of n2 Fixation in northern Australian waters, at the annual JAMS event at the Australian Museum and Art Gallery in Sydney.

Congratulations to Jason Woodhouse et al for a new paper accepted in ISMEJ (impact factor = 7.375!)
Very excited that Jaime Bibiloni Isaksson, PhD student in the Seymour Lab at UTS and co-supervised here, has been accepted into the 2013 Summer Course on Microbial Oceanography at the Center for Microbial Oceanography, Research and Education, University of Hawaii!. Congrats Jaime

A new manuscript has been accepted into the prestigious ecology journal Ecology Letters (Impact Factor= 17.557!), titled
“Microbial community responses to anthropogenically induced environmental change: towards a systems approach”
Andrew Bissett(1), Mark V Brown(2), Steve Sicilliano(3), Peter Thrall(1)
outlining a way for microbial ecology to move towards more holistic systems biology approach’s in order to progress in many areas.
