Finally out! Hopefully the first of many others on microbial evo-devo. Social selection within aggregative multicellular development drives morphological evolution | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

nature.com/articles/s4139… Very cool use of metabarcoding to track predators in real time!

Looking forward to discussing this paper: nature.com/articles/s4200… on heteroresistance by the Dan Andersson group for our lab meeting today! Samay Pande

nature.com/articles/s4157… Interesting review by the edze westra group on how phages shape natural bacterial communities!

A Science analysis of the cryogenic electron microscopy structures of the full-length spike trimers of the Delta, Kappa and Gamma variants of #SARSCoV2 has identified properties that might account for the Delta variant's heightened transmissibility. fcld.ly/smt9z4g

WIshing everyone a happy, healthy, and succesful 2022, from all of us at the BEE lab! Lots of cool stuff from our lab in the pipeline for this year Samay Pande

Surveys reveal the challenges scientists faced at work in 2021 nature.com/articles/d4158…

Nature works in (not so) mysterious ways! Emergence of drug resistance due to interacting producers and bacteria in S. aureus. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Looking forward to the first lab meetings of the year, with a journal club, followed by a work presentation! Samay Pande

Genomic structure predicts metabolite dynamics in microbial communities -in Cell cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

BEE-Lab do not miss this opportunity. Britt Koskella ‘s work on host-pathogen interactions, microbiomes is inspiring!

Looking forward to discussing this paper: pnas.org/content/119/6/… in today's lab meeting!

It's always nice to revisit the classics. Looking forward to going back to the basics with the Luria Delbruck paper in our journal club, tomorrow! BEE-Lab Samay Pande

This has to be one of the coolest papers in recent times. The paper talks about the evolution of coexisting RNA-replicator diversity (authors call it coexistence) in a long-term RNA evolution experiment. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Special issue alert! @SWielgoss and I are editing a special issue in the Genes MDPI. The theme of this special issue will be "Genetic basis of sociality in diverse microbial communities". Contributions from theory, field and experimental data are welcome mdpi.com/journal/genes/…

Today we will have Saheli Saha from BEE-Lab talking about her work on coevolving bacterial predator-prey communities at #MEEmeeting. Look forward to inputs from all at the workshop. @Siderophile Akos T. Kovacs Glen D'Souza Tanush Jagdish

Today, Saheli Saha from BEE-Lab visited us Uni Osnabrück to give a great talk about predator-prey coevolution. This is amazing work Saheli. Thanks for your visit and keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing this interesting work published.

I am very excited to announce that a fully funded PhD position is available in my group: Topic: Metabolic trade-offs and regulatory changes as drivers of metabolic cross-feeding interactions in microbial communities Deadline: 28.07.22 More info: shorturl.at/jmMP5
