Incredibly excited to announce two *in-person* & 100% trainee-organized meetings in Summer 2022. The first on microbial communities and coevolution. The second on core evolutionary dynamics and population genetics - workshops.evolbio.mpg.de/event/43/ Please help share and retweet! (1/6)

We have a new preprint with Andy Farr and @RaineyLab. If you are interested in barcoding a microbial species, have a look at our adventure to barcode P.fluorescens SBW25. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Minimal Surviving Inoculum in Collective Antibiotic Resistance mBio from Naama Brenner with Philip Ruelens Diego Pesce Andy Farr Arjan de Visser journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

Our work with @RaineyLab & Andy Farr on barcoding bacterial populations is online trebuchet.public.springernature.app/get_content/9e…. Barcoded populations are promising in solving complex questions requiring high statistical power. There is more on the way. Stay tuned! 😊

Lovely to see our study out in mBio! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb… The short read : don't assume higher antibiotic resistance causes higher fitness in bacteria selected with sub-inhibitory antibiotics. With wonderful colleagues Diego Pesce Suman Das Mark Zwart and Arjan de Visser!

Outstanding first preprint from Yansong Zhao, experimentally trapping and characterising a new class of MGE in Pseudomonas. It's been a privalege to see this young scientist develop from mathematician to wet-lab wizard! biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…. Go Yansong!

Final version of our article testing previous evolutionary forecasts in two Pseudomonas species is now out in Proceedings B royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… . Work led by Jennifer P, with Aparna Biswas and Bassel Alsaed.

There is an opening for a W2-professorship Uni Osnabrück on theoretical modelling of ecological systems (e.g. ecological interaction networks). Great opportunity to colaborate with experimentalists. Please apply or RT. More info here (German ad only): uni-osnabrueck.de/universitaet/a…

Great opportunity to work with a great scientist! x.com/osilander/stat…
