Our paper on photobiocatalytic LPMO reactions is out in @NatureComms today. Paper I for my PhD in the @EijsinkLab. Thanks @BastienBissaro for letting me in on this project and for your mentoring and guidance. disq.us/t/3m5phf4

Awsome talk on communication of complex topics by @joroislien ! Great start of our KBM science day @Vitenparken.
Last co-author should of course also be mentionned by name when the two others are. Especially since I have learnt a lot from you, @arkjendseth, as well in the work leading up to this paper!

How to communicate research to a larger audience? Great talk by Nina Kristiansen from @forskningno at @UniNMBU KBM’s Science Day. Prepare and simplify the message so that it can be understood by people without scientific training. Write for the readers!
Thanks for a great first day at the CBM. Very interesting talks covering a variety of topics. Looking forward to great discussions and to learn more about carbohydrate science! @EijsinkLab @CarboHyd_Bioeng
Looking forward to learn more about carbohydrate bioengineering at CBM13 starting today. Also, very happy to return to the city where I studied and worked for 5 years before, some years later, starting a PhD on LPMOs at the @EijsinkLab. @CarboHyd_Bioeng
Wondering how you can optimally harness the potential of LPMOs in biomass processing? Chylenski et al. may provide some answers! @EijsinkLab @UniNMBU

PAUL SCOTT ANDERSON @paulsanderson wrote a good story on @HMP, #Mars #analogs, and our new partnership with @Google. @earthskyscience @MarsInstitute @SETIInstitute @NASA @NASAAmes @pascalleetweets @GoogleEarth @GoogleCanada
Devon Island in the Arctic is one of Earth's most Mars-like places. NASA is there, training scientists and testing technologies for future Mars exploration. 🚀🔴 Now Google has joined also. More info: bit.ly/2I1Ngqn

Har du lurt på hva bioøkonomi «egentlig» er? Ta en titt på denne informative og gode nettsaken hos @biotekradet, skrevet blant annet av @DigitaltLiv-forsker Vincent Eijsink ved @UniNMBU bioteknologiradet.no/temaer/…

Congrats to @SabinaLLaRosa @BWestereng et al. for this great piece of work looking at PULs in the gram positives
Despite the fiber munching reputation of our gut Firmicutes, we know far less about how they do their job compared to the gram negatives. Excited to share new work in @NatureComms led by @SabinaLLaRosa and @BWestereng w @EricCMartens1, Maher Hachem et al. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Pigs eating trees! Well at least parts of them that have been refined into dietary fiber! Great collaboration between @BWestereng @BioRef_NMBU @EijsinkLab @ThePopeLab and others!
