This week:

Welcome to the AMRI roundup, our weekly newsletter to keep you informed on the latest happenings in and beyond our network.

Happy Earth Day, AMRI Network! 🌎 🌱 🍃 🌊 🧬 🦠

This year’s Earth Day theme is “Invest in Our Planet.” One could say that AMRI researchers invest in our planet every, single day with the scientific questions that investigate. But if you wish to do something extra, head to the beach and pick up some plastic! Or take 5 minutes to teach a non-scientist about your research and why it’s important for the planet. 🌎 Enjoy the day!

Weakened resilience of benthic microbial communities in the face of climate change

Mar 18, 2022

Read this recently published article in ISME Communications from AMRI researchers Laura Seidel, Mark Dopson (et. al), which examined benthic microbial communities in a naturally heated Swedish bay outside of the Oskarshamn power plant. The study is a fascinating and rare opportunity to study climate change scenarios in Baltic Sea water that has been naturally warmed for over 50 years.
