Gran experiencia, gran compañía

I just finished reading this and it is a true delight! I want to let it settle before I post more about it, but for now: congratulations to the authors!

Congratulations to the authors... it was fun to see this in the making!

ISME and the Alma Dal Co Foundation are delighted to announce the renaming of the ISME Early Career Award to the ISME Alma Dal Co Award to commemorate the life and work of Alma Dal Co (1989 - 2022).

This project fundamentally changed how I think about microbial communities: we report the existence of functional phases that encode the metabolic response of the soil microbiome to environmental change. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Great speakers include: Britt Koskella Martina Dal Bello María Rebolleda Karna Gowda | @karnagowda.bsky.social, Terry Hwa, Jiliang Hu, Alex Strang, Mikhail Tikhonov working with Stefano Allesina, Oni Basu, Luis Amaral + many local participants.

We statistically designed communities to effectively suppress drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in the gut. Remarkably, the designed synthetic community matched the effectiveness of the Fecal microbiome transplant (FMT) in the mouse! Rita Oliveira

It's the clearest day California has had in weeks and the views are amazing.

A deep snowpack, green hills, and beautifully gushing rivers.

1/13 🚨🚨 I am so excited to present our new paper, six years in the making. Here, we provide the first strong evidence that there is a molecular mechanism behind the origins of living fossil lineages! #biology #science #paleontology academic.oup.com/evolut/advance…

I've written about race, genetic ancestry, analyses of large biobanks, and human history

I'll summarize the key points here 🧵:

Since I started as Editor-in-Chief American Naturalist >1 year ago, I learned a lot about the journal - things I didn’t know & common misconceptions I learned about when talking to colleagues. So, I figured I’d share what I know & keep learning. To keep it all in one place, let's make a🧵

How stable are bacterial genomes as they adapt to an environment? My collaboration with Anurag Limdi, Alex Couce, Richard Lenski, and Olivier Tenaillon exploring this over 50,000 generations of evolution is out today!
