Excellent review, summarizing a lot of the difficulties encountered and a lot of the techniques used.

What is the *problem* your paper *addresses*. Assume that nobody wants to read your work, but they might *have to* because it will help them with their problem. So simple. So important. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtIz...

Excited to share some new work led by John McEnany. We generalize random matrix approaches from community assembly theory to predict how the fitness benefits & fates of new mutations should scale with the diversity & metabolic overlap of their surrounding community. We'd love to hear your comments!

Excited to share our new preprint! w @jfriedman.bsky.social #Microsky#evosky We tackle a simple question - How much of species evolution depends on the presence of other species? Bottom line: Most evolutionary changes were robust across strains that evolved with different biotic partners 1/

Beautiful paper. Communicates well with the notion of "Microbial Cartels". elifesciences.org/articles/22644

It is now official: November was the warmest November on record by a wide margin in the JRA-55 dataset, beating the prior record set in 2020 by 0.3C. November 2023 was 1.6C above preindustrial levels, and the year-to-date temperatures are 1.4C above preindustrial.

Fantastic talk, very timely with the current "woke" onslaught on Israel.
