How does population density affect evolutionary trajectory? Microbes construct their own niche which in turn reshapes their evolution. Preprint drop from grad student @noahhoupt.bsky.social whose evolution experiments featured blue/white colonies, 1000 generations, a lab move, and much more!

Turner Lab representation at #ASMicrobe #ASMicrobe2025 (1/5) Postbac Matthew Davidson will present a poster about phage Woody 🪵 #newPhageAlert Matthew will be applying for grad school soon!

*High-school level summary article* Wrote a piece describing our recent paper @paulturnerlab.bsky.social to a high-school educated audience. #phagesky #microsky Reach out if you want to do the same for your recent paper. It's super fun! www.journaloflifesciences.org/archives/156...

Our latest preprint just dropped @paulturnerlab.bsky.social We evolved bacteria on swim plates, against a phage that attacks through the flagellum. Motility trades off AND trades up(!!) with phage-resistance! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Latest paper drop from Yale Phage Center @paulturnerlab.bsky.social

YaleNews @yale.edu covered our recent paper on measuring virus attachment 🦠🔬🤩 @paulturnerlab.bsky.social @emonetlab.bsky.social news.yale.edu/2025/04/15/n... #MicroSky #PhageSky #Microscopy #Fluorescence

Our postdoc @antanij.bsky.social's paper is out! Check out his thread explaining the motivation and main takeaways. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Reposted below is the Yale News coverage about our former postdoc @norapyenson.bsky.social's latest paper. And linked below is the summary post from Nora: bsky.app/profile/nora...

Beautiful paper from our ex-postdoc @norapyenson.bsky.social

The UCSB KITP QBio course on mobile elements was amazing 🩵 With excellent projects led by @paulturnerlab.bsky.social, Roberto Kolter, Joanne Emerson, Richard Neher, @erikvannimwegen.bsky.social, Ben Good (+ me). Course began with a wetlab bootcamp, Dallas Mould demonstrating the first experiments..
