There are so many ways to work with lichens and an equally diverse set of paths to get into those jobs. Such a cool resource by @BLSlichens for anyone considering a career in lichenology!
Ever considered a career in lichenology? Visit our new webpage on the BLS website, where professional lichenologists have written profiles on existing roles and career paths to get there. https://t.co/58B5Gp9HlW

Don’t sleep on Genome size ⏰! Especially if you’re working with metagenomes or symbionts. We used flow cytometry to directly measure the genome of a lichen fungus and used it to inform a ✨ shiny ✨ new nanopore genome 🧬 🧪 💻

Abstract. Lichen-forming fungi are a diverse and ecologically important group of obligate mutualistic symbionts. Due to difficulties with maintaining them
