Hey #ESA2023! Interested in quantifying community stability or heterogeneity? I'm presenting a statistic to quantify variability across multiple relative abundance vectors (collab w/ @NoahARosenberg and @ksxue). I'd love to chat! Weds 8/9 - 10:15am - B113 esa2023.eventscribe.net/fsPo…

Hi #ESA2023 ! Come learn about the dynamics of colonization and community recovery in the human gut microbiome at my talk tomorrow, COS 87-2, at 10:15am in room E142. We see long lags in colonization even after major antibiotic perturbations. I'd love to discuss why!

Also check out @GoldmanDoran's talk immediately after mine, about how colonization is affected by species inoculation dose!

And don't miss @MaikeMorrison's talk on her new statistic for quantifying compositional variability in microbial communities on Wednesday at 10:15am in B113 (COS 166-2)!

I’m excited to be presenting my undergraduate work tomorrow at #ESA2023! Come see my talk in session COS 87 from 10:30-10:45 if you’re interested in the ecological determinants of colonization outcomes in gut microbial communities.

ICYMI - I'll be giving a poster spotlight presentation at #ASMicrobe today at 12:20 at the EEB track hub on how antibiotics affect colonization resistance in gut microbiome. Stop by my poster EEB-1114 to learn more!
Excited to present my work at #ASMicrobe this afternoon as a last-minute talk replacement! Come to 352DEF at 2:45-3PM to learn about how antibiotics affect colonization and transmission in the gut microbiome.

#ISME18 I'll be pitching my poster PS23.309 "Colonization and transmission after antibiotic perturbation in the human gut microbiome" at 3:28pm today in room 5ABC. Stop by later to chat about colonization, alternative stable states, and in vitro communities!

Be sure to check out poster PS23.302 this afternoon as well, where @GoldmanDoran has some exciting data on how inoculation dose affects colonization success in in vitro communities.

Thrilled to visit the @UofUGenetics community this May! Looking forward to some great science.
We are excited to announce our first annual Rising Stars in Genetics and Genomics symposium (RiSinGG!) on May 11-12, 2022. We are excited to highlight the awesome science of these really talented postdocs. Please join us for two days of exciting science and food!

What will it be like to live with endemic COVID? Our future with the virus will depend on the strength of our immune memories. I wrote about what we know and what we still have to learn about COVID immunity for @NewYorker: newyorker.com/science/annals…
