Excited to see my first ever first-author paper and the first chapter of my dissertation out now in The ISME Journal! We did an exhaustive review/synthesis of what is known about the effects of community context on bacteria-phage ecology and evolution (spoiler: not much) A🧵(1/n)

In May, Emily Graslie 📺🦕🦖 and I hung out when she came down to Bloomington to see the Brood X Cicadas. Today, she published the episode of ART LAB that she was filming for that day. I had a great time helping her out and I even make an appearance in the video. Check it out!

Sometimes you just have to listen to what your stir bar tells you! 🤷🏼 Jay T Lennon lab shenanigans with Emmi Mueller

A shout out to IU biology professor Jay Lennon and grad student Emmi Mueller for developing a way to better understand the gut microbiome. How did they do it? Read: go.iu.edu/5L9j The College at IU
