Scientists, reach out to your local communities about the importance of funding science! Write an op-ed to your local newspaper as part of the #McClintockLetters. Please spread the word and sign up! DM me if you're interested and need help getting started. I'm trained as a writer and happy to help.

What a joy to read this beautifully written commentary on our community coalescence experiments! Thank you Alyssa Mitchell and @contaminatedsci.bsky.social for the insightful take and lovely graphical summary.

Microbial ecologists, do you ever want to quantify the stability of a community over time, or the amount of spatial heterogeneity across sites? Check out FAVA, developed by @maikemorrison.bsky.social. With FAVA, you can quantify compositional variability across many microbiome samples.

What happens if you introduce 🦠vs 🦠🦠🦠 into a microbial community? Are larger microbial populations more likely to establish? Check out new work led by @goldmandoran.bsky.social that used experiments and theory to dive deep into this simple question. ⬇️ www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
