Hey, that's me!

Great work led by Kevin X. Zhong and the scientific team Hakai Institute, with contributions by @JanFinke5 and many others. Stay tuned for more results!

How many SAR11 cells are phage-infected in the environment? And what are zombies🧟‍♂️? We studied phage infection in SAR11 using the🔬. Up to 19% of SAR11 cells were phage infected and many host cells were devoid of ribosomes🧟‍♂️! What else did we find? A 🧵 researchsquare.com/article/rs-407…

very cool - the topic of our lab meeting today 👍

very cool!

Come and join a fabulous team of researchers UBCBiodiversity and Hakai Institute tackling big challenges in a changing marine world

Thanks for sharing the good news. Now we need more scholarships, which directly creates HQP and fuels research productivity

Every day, 40+ University of British Columbia research groups are exploring sustainable solutions for the planet. From wildfires to next-gen batteries, sustainability has been core to our mission for over 25 years. This #EarthDay, let's act decisively. Read more: bit.ly/49Ijgcl Policy Magazine

It promises to be a fabulous event.

New paper led by @Tm_Pitot on giant viruses in polar lakes! Cool collaboration Simon Roux Frederik Schulz @CulleyAlex @cath__girard Josephine Z. Rapp! #giantviruses #viruses #polarresearch #arctic #antarctic #phylogeny academic.oup.com/ismecommun/art…

Why is pride so important? Here’s a couple of entries from my personal diaries from 25 years ago. Then I was completely isolated and afraid- tbh it’s a miracle I survived. I will do everything to support others like me, lest they experience the same. I got your back. Happy pride!

Our #PacificOyster amplicon panel paper is out now in Genetics Society of America's G3 Journal! Now with new visualizations, an additional test dataset, and improved panel performance after removing pop-specific null alleles. Advanced release here 👇 academic.oup.com/g3journal/adva…

In freshly settled oyster spat, some cohorts experienced massive mortality, but microbial composition was strongly affected by age, not by cohort mortality journals.asm.org/cms/10.1128/sp… Authors: @Choannaflgllate @JanFinke5 Kevin X. Zhong

So excited the latest discovery is out on Viral coinfection, Superinfection dominance, and Temperature modulating outcome. Super research by Claudia Meyer! And Vicky Jackson :-) Check it out: doi.org/10.1093/ismejo…

Excitement is building for the 12th iteration of the Aquatic Virus Workshop to be held at the fantastic Oceanologic Observatory in Banyuls-sur-Mer, France during 5-9 May 2025. We have a great lineup of speakers, and a nascent website: avw12.sciencesconf.org/?lang=en

Delighted to share the latest from the GBMF-supported project on sustainable oyster aquaculture. Ben Sutherland and Tim Green led the development of an amplicon panel for high-throughput and low-cost genotyping of Pacific oyster academic.oup.com/g3journal/arti…. Pretty sweet to get the cover!

🚀 Excited to announce that our Lab University of British Columbia is recruiting! 🌟 We're looking for passionate intern, graduate, and postdoc with strong coding/ML backgrounds to join us in advancing AI for single-cell biology & brain-computer interfaces. 🏔️Vancouver awaits! 👉tanglab.msl.ubc.ca

Educator Open House @BeatyMuseum! FREE program for #BC educators on OCT. 25 from 10 to 5 PM, when educators will explore how we can support their lessons with curriculum links in exhibits, activities, and programs. Visit beatymuseum.ubc.ca/open-house #PDD2024 #BCschools #UBC #SciEd

Many of us want to detect & infer roles of giant virus in metagenomes but are limited by available tools and bioinfo expertise. BEREN is a modular, one-stop-shop for giant virus & virophage identification in metaG datasets. Latest from our lab, spearheaded by Benjamin Minch !

1/6 Excited to share our latest work University of Waterloo published in Virus Evolution on horizontal gene transfer of a #virus gene (nblA) involved in the disassembly of phycobilisomes, cyanobacterial light-harvesting complexes: doi.org/10.1093/ve/vea…
