Check out our latest paper, showing how genomes can be leveraged to infer ecological roles in natural communities: advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/31/e… Kudos to @ShaulPollak, Matti Gralka et al.

Otto X. Cordero's team developed a genomic approach to identify bacteria exploiting public goods produced in polysaccharide degradation. They showed how public good exploiters active in degrading communities invade early on & potentially hinder degradation advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/31/e…

Does anyone know what left all those eggs on Hawthorn? Pretty cool 😎

Shiver in ecstasy. Mathematics.

Every dead tree, left to rot naturally, is a source of abundant new life.

What happens when a community of marine microbes assembles on a tiny resource particle, as they frequently do in the ocean? The answer, in our latest preprint! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Shocking sight. Plastic microfibers in my latest plankton sample. Every inshore plankton sample I collect now contains microplastics. ZEISS Microscopy

Mathematics, physics. Circles in flight. What country is this in? What food is he preparing? Onlookers are impressed. Imagine the joy of understanding the aerodynamics, kinematics, materials science, and other scientific principles involved. Source: bit.ly/3najpj3

I remember breaking down to my Ph.D. advisor about how stupid I felt while troubleshooting a problem in my project when she handed me this paper. Years later it is still relevant to young students starting off in Science. It's ok to feel stupid, we all do on a regular basis.

This winter I'll be starting my lab in the Marine and Environmental Biology Section at USC USC Marine & Environmental Biology! We'll ask how cellular interactions shape the ecology and evolution of marine bacteria. Doors open January 2023- more info on open positions soon!
