Graduated today: Gil, Eric, Alex, and Ariana. Congratulations to these undergraduate researchers in Joshua Rest lab SBU Ecology & Evolution StonyBrook Biology Stony Brook University College of Arts & Sciences


Excellent opportunity to work with me, Jackie Collier and Joshua Rest on ecophysiology of Labyrinthulomycetes!

Our big day being just a little overshadowed - as is everything else - by a rude virus. But congratulations Moore Foundation collaborators! Joshua Rest labyrinthulomycetes @cslamo Dr. Anastasios Tsaousis Ross Waller and everyone else I missed! SoMAS at SBU

Check out the latest collab Stony Brook University: @soMAS_SBU Assoc Prof Jackie Collier, PhD candidate Mariana Rius, & SBU Ecology & Evolution Assoc Prof Joshua Rest are among 100+ scientists who collaborated on dev of genetic tools in 39 evolutionarily diverse marine protists. bit.ly/3e3x85m

This morning we devoted our lab meeting to brainstorming actions we could take toward increasing black representation in our lab, department, and field. #ShutDownSTEM SBU Ecology & Evolution

Looks like my Aurantiochytrium colonies had a creative time during lockdown! #accidentalart #fractals #protists Jackie Collier Joshua Rest


All hail the Lord Bunsen Burner! Fingers crossed for the CRISPR/Cas9 based DNA free KOs #Protists #moleculartools #Aurantiochytrium labyrinthulomycetes Jackie Collier Joshua Rest


Joi #ProtistSession all week! Anbarasu Karthikaichamy, Ph.D. Joshua Rest labyrinthulomycetes

However, many researchers hit a roadblock on understanding the basic biology of these diverse protists majorly due to the lack of molecular tools. I work with Jackie Collier and Joshua Rest on developing molecular tools for Aurantiochytrium. Moore Foundation

I'm excited to share this paper about evolution of pathogen response genes by Niamh O'Hara, PhD , along with Steve Franks, @SilasTittes , and @nckane. SBU Ecology & Evolution bmcecolevol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

I gave a talk today at Stony Brook University in the department of Ecology and Evolution. Great questions and a wonderful chat afterwards. Thank you Joshua Rest and Jackie Collier for a nice virtual visit! #MicrobesRule
