Check out our latest preprint! We show that the same antibacterial toxin requires different immunity proteins depending whether it’s intra or extracellular

Bacterial symbionts enjoy their seasonal produce! Our new work shows how chemosynthetic symbionts adjust their energy sources during seasonal upwelling in the Tropical Eastern Pacific, highlighting the resilience of animal-microbe partnerships to environmental change journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Just imagine, folks, if you: a) busted your ass to make it to grad school b) developed a research program incredible enough to earn a F31, only to see it terminated b/c you are URM c) applied for a HHMI Hannah Gray, only to see the program canceled This is evil, hurtful, resegregation of science

With rapid changes in our environment and climate, there's an urgent need to better understand living systems and their interactions, going beyond the few well-established ‘model’ organisms. A recent EMBO | EMBL Symposium explored how we might do that. Learn more: www.embl.org/news/science...

Do people in the same household share strains when they have the same species? How many cells transmit when a strain is shared? Can strain composition be dynamic when species composition is stable? We answer these and related questions for the facial skin microbiome in our latest paper. 🧵[1/10]

Arendt distinguished between action and behavior. Behavior is routine. Predictable. What most people do most of the time. To act means to take the initiative and try something different. At its best action is unpredictable. You never know what might happen when you stop behaving and begin to act.

Donald Trump's attack on science is turning back the clock on research that saves lives and powers our economy in Massachusetts and beyond. Not on my watch. I'm pressing Trump's health leaders for answers now.

I’m having similar conversations and sharing international opportunities a lot. I’m sure for a lot of US based trainees that feels overwhelming. I moved to Europe for my postdoc.Happy to chat with any trainees about my experience if it would be helpful.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.
