Congratulations to Nancy A. Moran of NaturalSciences @ UT, winner of the 2023 National Academy of Sciences Selman A. Waksman Award in Microbiology for expanding understanding of microbial symbiosis! Watch her accept the award at the 160th NAS Annual Meeting! #NASaward #academia #microbiology

PLEASE RT: I am looking to hire a Postdoc to come work in my "new" lab at NC State on my recently funded NIH R01 project "Deciphering the processes of adaptation and exaptation driving the evolution of opportunism in bacteria". See FULL AD BELOW drive.google.com/file/d/1I6gpER…

Update: I will start reviewing applications June 1st! If you or someone you know is interested please send applications to me soon!!! Applications will be accepted until the position is filled and I will make sure to post updates. I appreciate the RTs. 😀🦠🐝❤️

Like humans, honey bees like caffeine. In Microbiology Spectrum, researchers how that caffeine can improve survival rates of honey bees infected with the bacterial pathogen, Serratia marcescens. Learn more: asm.social/1eE

How do bees contend w/ plant toxins in pollen & nectar? Against at least one secondary metabolite, help comes from within. Belatedly sharing our eLife - the journal insight article on an elegant study by ErickMotta, Waldan Kwong, Nancy Moran & team. elifesciences.org/articles/85565

According to a PNASNews study by #NASmember Nancy Moran & her team at NaturalSciences @ UT, inoculating bees with a genetically engineered gut bacterium could save colonies from a common parasite. Learn how #microbiology is saving pollinators. ow.ly/pyrj50OSNWi #PollinatorWeek🐝

🚨 Postdoc & PHD position 🚨 🐝 Interested in pollinators and nutrition? The Rangel and Behmer lab have been awarded a 4-year USDA grant to study how nutrition and landscape changes interact to affect managed honey bees. Please contact me via DM for more details.

Grateful for the opportunity to write this review with Professor Nancy Moran about the current knowledge on the honeybee gut microbiota! Check it out in Nature Reviews Microbiology: go.nature.com/3TbBY7s #Microbiome #HoneybeeHealth

The search for authentic microbiome–disease relationships. A new study challenges the validity of previously reported microbial markers and serves as a wake-up call for the #microbiome research field. News and Views from Ruixin Zhu & colleagues nature.com/articles/s4159…

Thank you for the warm welcome, Texas A&M Entomology! Excited to be part of the department and to dive into exciting microbiome research! #TAMUBugs

Excited to announce that I am joining the Dept. of Genetics and Evolution Genetics & Evolution at Université de Genève as a tenure-track Asst. Professor! We'll be exploring the gut-brain axis of insects. I am currently offering a fully-funded PhD position! drive.switch.ch/index.php/s/sP… Please RT #newPI
