Aminolipids elicit functional trade-offs between competitiveness and bacteriophage attachment

Todd and Lee-Smith Lab Food Day! 🍕🧁🍜🥨🍣Lots of delectable traditional dishes! Nom nom. Well done guys! 🇬🇧🇪🇸🇰🇪🇨🇳🇷🇴🇵🇭🇭🇺🇧🇩

PhD opportunity - Oct2023. Fully funded 3 1/2 yr by Science at Sheffield The Royal Society exciting opportunity for some frontiers microbiology! Plants, Photosynthesis and Soil home students only

If you collect dissolved nutrient samples, you NEED to read this. If you're not filtering the samples immediately, in the field, using 0.2 um filters (or 0.45 if you really must), then you're likely not measuring in situ nutrient concentrations. Do it! aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/lo…

🚨PhD opportunity! Happy to answer any questions you may have! Deadline 18 Jan 2023 (home students only)

Come join the team!

Todd lab wishes you and your families a great merry Christmas and prosperous new year!!! More fun science! #Christmas2022 #ToddLab

Today is 8.1., the Ocean Acidification Day of Action. #OADayOfAction 8.1 is the current pH of the ocean – for now. The value is changing due to carbon dioxide emitted by humans, and the ocean is acidifying. Harmful for many creatures in the ocean. geomar.de/en/discover/oc…
