Check out this amazing review on #SCTLD put together by a group of spectacular ECRs! Please like and repost THEIR posts about it, and let's celebrate their work! Also, take a read if you wanted an intro to this disease outbreak. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

All of the Microbiology Barbies in the Ushijima Lab are hard at work studying the coral microbiome!! Our job is just beach and lab 🪸🔬🥼

‼️PhD Opportunity‼️ The Ushijima Lab is looking for a PhD student to start in Fall of 2024! Research would be related to coral microbes. Microbiology experience preferred! Join an amazing lab that works all throughout the Caribbean! 🪸 Please share! ushijima-lab.com

Come work with us on our CORDAP project to develop probiotics to protect corals from #SCTLD using our high-throughput isolation/screening platform.

We were lucky to get a visit and seminar from my PhD advisor and amazing coral biologist/ disease ecologist Dr. Greta Aeby! She spoke with my & Dr. Nikki Fogarty's students about their coral projects and shared her vast knowledge. So happy to see her again 😁

There's still time, we're looking for a postdoc to work on our project developing probiotics to protect corals from #SCTLD. You get to work with great collaborators and use our microbe isolation system. The posting closes on April 25th! Apply here: jobs.uncw.edu/postings/30282

Come join us! And please help spread the word!

Let's take a break from doomscrolling. Does anyone have any positive notes about social media? Doing some casual research for ASM Microbe on how social media can be used to improve morale about academia? Any tips? Comments? Please repost and/or comment below.

Are you less terrible at using social media than I am? Likely! Then share your favorite Tip for Science Social Media users! PLEASE Repost & Reply with your Tip, it may be featured at an ASM #Microbe2024 session on improving your online presence!

Want to shape what #ASMirobe looks like? Then consider submitting a proposal for a session for Microbe 2025 taking place June 19-23, 2025 in Los Angeles. The deadline for a proposal submission is August 1, 2024! Feel free to contact me about AES tracks. asm.org/Events/ASM-Mic…

We're #hiring! Looking for a #postdoc to work on multiple projects related to #coral #metagenomics more info here: gwlab.org/join-us

In our lab's latest publication, we explored the genus Pseudoalteromonas and their tricky taxonomy. This is a prelude to our upcoming work on our new coral probiotic species! Stay tuned! …icro-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/14…

🚨 We’re looking for a Research Aquarist to join our team! If you have experience in coral husbandry and want to join a great team with competitive pay and benefits, apply now!🪸 Pls rt! #NowHiring #JobOpportunities #aquariumlife #aquaculture ➡️tamus.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/TAMUCC_E…

Check out this article on Vox about whether human medicine can be used to save corals from SCTLD featuring Dr. Blake Ushijima!! vox.com/down-to-earth/…

Ever wondered how #Vibrio coralliilyticus causes disease in corals and other marine animals when the ocean gets hot? In this new work, we uncover #T6SSs as an important virulence factor. TAU Faculty of Medical & Health Sciences 1/7 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

A great opportunity! If you are interested in marine microbes (coral-associated or otherwise) and natural products chemistry for your postdoc then Wendy_Strangman and I would be interested in chatting! lnkd.in/e3K3ZQGu
