Happy #PhycologyFriday! We’re hoping someone might be able to help us with an ID..we’re geochemists and not phycologists, so we’re way out of our comfort zone- we were told this red algae genus might be Polysiphonia? Or maybe Gracilaria? Thanks for any and all help!! jess gould

#evolution2023 Are you interested in spatial structure, microbes, multi-level selection, or community-level directed evolution? I am hiring a postdoc to use community-level selection to study spatial dynamics in microbes. Within that theme, there is tons of freedom

🔴 New preprint 🔴 This one is the first with someone from my lab as an author! We used previously identified metabolic rules to predict microbial community assembly along a temperature gradient (1/12). biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

It's happening!!! Next week I'll be defending my PhD. DM or email me if you'd like the zoom link. A big thanks to my labmates for the amazing flier

PhD candidate Lauren Lees, Ph.D. is defending her dissertation on #microbiomes and trophic interactions in coastal ecosystems! Join us 3pm Weds Aug 23 in 4201 Nat Sci 2 (email Lauren for Zoom link).
