@RealSexyCyborg @CNSAWatcher @NASA When we did our microbial survey of ISS, one of the things we were interested in is whether the hand holds and foot holds have distinct communities. They don't talk about it much, but astronauts get REALLY good at holding stuff with their toes. :-) https://t.co/Hv6bXo6Fja
When we did our survey of ISS, my main regret that we couldn't collect more samples. Crew time is precious, and doing anything in microgravity is slow. Now with @SpaceX Crew Dragon bringing more more crew, that means more science! https://t.co/Hv6bXoogaI https://t.co/DACcAXABZb
#MaytheFourthbewithyou and microbes! Ever think about how we are contaminating space with microbes? When we send structures into space we also send microbes: here's a microbial survey of the International Space Station (ISS). https://t.co/uuUNDzXFOR
@DrTregoning @_myrsini_ Maaaaaaybe. But it's going to be mostly space food and eating meals at funny times based stuff isn't it? There is an ISS microbiome study though https://t.co/meEQyVqMzP

In response to critique of his work interchanging OTU and species too liberally. Gotta respect that humility! Cool article too:
