We (with Clement Coclet, not on Bsky) had the chance to work on a broad "state of viromics" review. We tried to use this to give an overview of how the field changed over the last ~ 15 years, and also what we think are some of the major remaining challenges. Full-text access at -> rdcu.be/excHt

Is it “winner-takes all” when the simplest living things compete? Check out my fresh publication on phage coexistence in Science and a thread below🧵 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Is a healthy microbiome one that is rich in phages? Excited to share this work⁦‪‬⁩ where we apply ecological theory on the role of parasites in ecosystems & explore whether viromes can be used as signatures of microbiome health 🦠

One week left to apply to the Social Lives of Viruses 2024! 50-person meeting on viral sociality, from virology to evolution, in Puerto Rico this June. All welcome; free accommodation and registration. Apply here: forms.gle/SvgCix9Njr8r... #SocialViruses #ViroSky #MicroSky #EvoSky

So excited to share that my paper with Rees Kassen in American Naturalist is officially typeset and available on the AmNat website! Please check out our exploration of how ecological interactions emerge de novo as populations diversify. www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...
