News this morning about a lab-evolved fungus 🍄 is #unBEElievable! #Fungi to the rescue for our pollinator friends: sciencemag.org/news/2021/06/s…

The #fungi are under attack! 🍄🐛 How do organisms that are unable run away flailing their hands protect against #insects? A new insight article by Milton T Drott in eLife - the journal examines how fungi defend themselves at different life stages elifesciences.org/articles/73723

How does #superbug #Candida auris compete with C. glabrata in a hospital 🏥 environment? Our publication in Journal of Fungi MDPI shows common disinfectants can change the balance and contribute to #antimicrobialresistance Ft. Breanne Steffan Milton T Drott Gustavo H.

We took a deep dive into some fungal genomes and found Starships, a new family of giant mobile elements carrying host genes and 100s of kb 👜🧬 We learned a bunch (👇🧵) and can't wait to keep exploring 🚀🍄✨🔍 kudos to Aaron Vogan Horacio L-N Jason Slot and the whole team
