First post: 🦠🌊Denitrification is the main nitrogen loss process, but how do microbes performing different steps coexist? We outline the rules governing this coexistence and explain why some denitrifiers are more abundant than others in the ocean. Check it out here: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

Community stability is usually assessed by invading single species from rare and measuring relative fitness. However does this hold up when multiple species invade from rare? We test this using our super stable microbial community 👇🏻
