1. To begin, our audience would like to know more about your academic journey. Could you share a brief overview of your research background and what drew you to studying marine microbiomes and molecular biology?
13:19
2. JMSE is a leading journal in marine science and engineering. What motivated you to join its Editorial Board, and how do you see it contributing to advancements in understanding marine microbial communities?
15:29
3. Functional microbiomes play a crucial role in marine ecosystems. What key unresolved questions about their organization and interactions drive your current research?
20:00
4. Recent advances in molecular biology (e.g., metagenomics, single-cell sequencing) have transformed marine microbiome studies. How have these tools reshaped our understanding of microbial functions in marine communities?
22:26
5. Some studies suggest that microbial networks influence larger marine processes, such as nutrient cycling or species symbiosis. Do you think microbiome dynamics could provide new explanations for ecosystem resilience or decline?
26:12
6. A debated topic is whether microbial signatures can serve as bioindicators for environmental changes (e.g., pollution, climate shifts). What are your views on their detectability, and what future techniques or experiments hold promise?
