The Fungi-Mad Women of the Past 🍄 medium.com/@talibelbouhal…

On #InternationalWomensDay2024 I celebrate that I get work with and be inspired by wonderful women such as Nandini Raman Asmita Rosan van Halsema Mandy Velthuis Sarian Kosten Suzanne McGowan Meryem Beklioglu Kait Reinl Kathleen Weathers Lisa Borre @mindym1101 Elvira de Eyto Maggie A ADEBUKOLA ABORIGHO

Absolutely fantastic presentations by Athanasia (Nancy) Ioannou , Hannah Augustijn and Berlin. Beautiful examples of inspiring microbiome science at the occasion of the #diesNatalis and the introduction of our new Wageningen Microbiome Center!

New: the Wageningen Microbiome Center. Researcher Jos Raaijmakers: "We are now able to steer the microbiome in the direction of enhancing the health of mankind, animals, soil, water and climate." nioo.knaw.nl/en/news/wageni…

I am grateful to have been awarded de Snoo - van 't Hoogerhuijs Stichting Senior Award for our contributions to developmental biology. Thankful for all support and collaborations within the RIMLS-Science, Radboud Faculty of Science, @RU, and current and past collaborators and groupmembers.

We are recruiting two PhD students (4y) and one Postdoc (2y) to work on bacteriophage defense systems and their relevance for phage therapy. Come join our teams in Delft and Utrecht in the Netherlands. brounslab.org/vacancies/

On May 29, Marcelle Johnson will defend her PhD thesis on the evolution of multipartite plant viruses! In the morning we will hold a symposium where three of the examiners will present some of their latest work. Don't miss it! Wageningen U&R NL Inst of Ecology @SFElenaLab Dr. Paula Dalcin Martins

Proofs are here... Asymptomatic: The Silent Spread of COVID-19 and the Future of Pandemics Available for pre-order, to be released October 22, 2024 via Hopkins Press. bit.ly/asymptomatic-j…

Marcelle Johnson defended successfully her PhD on multipartite viruses! Congrats! #newPhD #congrats (I was this time enjoying in the audience)

Experimental evolution is a valuable tool for understanding how viruses change. Our study presents the first experimental virus evolution in Caenorhabditis elegans, revealing crucial adaptation hotspots in the nucleotide diversity of the Orsay virus. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our preprint on nematode hitchiking by #phages has been picked up by Science Magazine news 😃 science.org/content/articl… with Lisa van Sluijs et al. Mark Zwart

Happy to finally see our (improved) version of our EVE detection pipeline out for everyone to use :) with Nadja Brait and Thomas Hackl

If you're interested in a PhD applying stat/AI methods to prediction of phage susceptibility & cocktail design with me, edze westra + Stineke van Houte , we're advertising an MRC funded project - deadline 4th November. International students welcome! findaphd.com/phds/project/g…
