Excited to share two PhD opportunities on "How biofilms protect themselves against bacteriophage infection and how they fail" and "Shaping evolution by varying antibiotics in space and time". Detailed descriptions to follow next week, but see below:

Are you interested in how microbial communities assemble & function in real-life environments (e.g., the ocean, ground beneath our feet, animal hosts)? We are hosting a workshop on the topic in January with an amazing lineup of speakers. Spread the word! ➡️pcts.princeton.edu/events/20…

New preprint from our lab by Andrea Dos Santos, @rita_dimarti and Samuele Testa biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… We present guidelines on how to design spent media assays to map out the interactions between bacterial species (1/5)

Classifying interactions in a synthetic bacterial community is hindered by inhibitory growth medium

Predicting the fate of a microbial community and its member species relies on understanding the nature of their interactions. However, designing simple assays that distinguish between interaction...

New paper dropped from @monicamercedez and me! Always a fun time talking about mechanisms of diversification, and even more fun when a postdoc in your group comes up with an extremely clever way to do the (computational) experiment! Paper here: frontiersin.org/articles/10.… [🧵 1/]

It is a pleasure to announce that @s_hammarlund has successfully defended her doctoral dissertation. It was fantastic to get to work with Dr. Hammarlund. (a picture from a pre-pandemic time that seems appropriate)

She also investigated methods to reduce inequity by improving students’ sense of belonging in science classrooms w/ Dr. Cheryl Scott, Dr. Kevin Binning and Dr. @SehoyaCotner.

In an “ecological-belonging” intervention to reduce inequities in STEM, context matters

Doubts about belonging in the classroom are often shouldered disproportionately by students from historically marginalized groups, which can lead to underperformance. Ecological-belonging intervent...

Our paper on microbial community coalescence is finally out today, from co-1st authors @jdiazc9 @aliciasangor and Nanxi Lu. It grew from a preprint we posted a while back, now with additional experiments and a fair amount of new theory and simulations. pnas.org/content/119/6/e2111…

Top-down and bottom-up cohesiveness in microbial community coalescence | PNAS

Microbial communities frequently invade one another as a whole, a phenomenon known as community coalescence. Despite its potential importance for t...
