🚨 PhD opportunity 🚨 The Whelan lab, along w @brockhurstlab.bsky.social, are looking for a PhD student w bioinformatic experience/interest to investigate the evolution of transmissibility in bacterial pathogens, with a focus on P. aeruginosa. More info & link to apply below. Please spread the word!

In a great collaboration with @typaslab.bsky.social, @lisamaierlab.bsky.social and @biocs.bsky.social found that 24% of the tested human-targeted drugs inhibit the growth of gut commensal bacteria. "Extensive impact of non-antibiotic drugs on human gut bacteria" (2018) www.nature.com/artic...

Non-White scientists appear on fewer editorial boards, spend more time under review, and receive fewer citations www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Interested in how phages deal with dormant bacteria? After a looong and difficult peer review our paper by Enea Maffei and colleagues has finally been published: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

✨Big Career Announcement: Super happy to share that I’ve officially accepted a professorship @LMU ! Excited for new opportunities and collaborations. Stay tuned for more updates and job openings.

Running the Lisbon marathon tomorrow 👏 The 30C weather is great for holidaying, maybe not so great for the run 😶‍🌫️

Are you interested in mutualisms? Have you always wondered how these cooperative interactions emerge and coevolve? If the answer to these questions is YES, then please consider joining my vibrant group as a PhD student. Please RT. More details👇 www.uni-osnabrueck.de/universitaet...

Outreach and engagement with the AMR message should be about more than just numbers. This is a great piece in npjAMR about how storytelling can help communicate in a different way. www.nature.com/articles/s44... #microsky

An exciting new PhD project is available in my group to work on synergistic coevolution. The project will analyse an experiment, in which a cooperative interaction evolved between two bacterial strains. Deadline: October 13, 2023 Please RT More details: www.uni-osnabrueck.de/universitaet...

Probably my first post on here should be science but LOOOOK WHAT I MADE! Little cat ladder for kitten to explore and little teepee frame 💁‍♀️ Next stop, sewing machine

Also does Bluesky not allow gifs yet? 😥 That's the primary mode of communication of my millennial soul

EcoEvo folks, this is a fun game! Figure out each day's mystery animal in as few guesses as possible; with each guess it builds a phylo tree and gives info on the common ancestor for clues. 🐶 Animal #26 🦤 I figured it out in 4 guesses! 🟥🟧🟧🟩 metazooa.com
