Isolation and characterization of mollicute symbionts from a fungus-growing ant reveals genome reduction and host specialization biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #bioRxiv

Challenges present opportunities. That was a common theme at this year’s #NSNC22. We put that theme to work & used a fire alarm as an impromptu photo shoot. Thank you to EVERYONE who came ready to learn and collaborate. Leaving the conference renewed and inspired #Nematodes #SCN

Kathryn Bushley of ARSEF, @USDA_ARS, has screened hundreds of fungi for activity against #SCN. She will share her findings at #NSNC22.

Very proud to see @EG_Microbio 's ant microbiome paper out, especially given the journey.
When Emily first started working on these samples, we didn't really know what to think because every ant colony, caste, and type of rearing seemed to follow its own rules.

@EG_Microbio and @KlassenLab show how ontogeny, ecology, and historical contingency combine to structure an ant microbiome

It's published! 🥳
We were working on this paper as I was writing my dissertation & submitted it after my defense. It has been a long time coming, but I'm so proud of it!

Cleaned the roots of the soybean plants we planted early May & infected with #SoybeanCystNematode eggs.
After the cleaning process we are left with all these cysts! They are the tiny dots!
I just wrote 5-16-2017 as the date in my lab notebook so I'm thinking I should go ahead and call it day and give up.
Happy to report @KlassenLab will not knock your poofy hat off during the hooding ceremony!
The start of dissections on giant hornets from Taiwan. Yikes ☠️. Very very very glad they were preserved first.
