Just posting some Tweets here …
I really recommend people check out this paper.
There is a new paper from @rblauste @ericamhartmann et al. that is a must read on microbes on the space station – see PR here https://t.co/Wi2vIUVTT5 from @NorthwesternU and paper here from @mSystemsJ https://t.co/cpD926urKD 1/n

There are many interesting things in this paper but to me the key is – it counters the relentless BS from many scientists and the press that has been published claiming that the microbes on the ISS are somehow superpower or extra dangerous 2/n

Instead they show that, though there may be differences and potentially interesting adaptations to life on the ISS there is nothing to suggest the microbes there are super dangerous to humans 3/n pic.twitter.com/Nuyu4ZW5iq

One thought on “Great paper on Space Station Microbes and how they are not all waiting to kill you …”
