Wonderful illustration of how unpredictable even the most "reductionist" experiments can be. Competitive outcomes swung completely by subtle differences in cation concentrations in different batches of LB media. microbiologycommunity.nature.com/posts/a-bacter…

Fully funded PhD in my group UQ Science to study competition and antimicrobial resistance in microbial systems. More info here graduate-school.uq.edu.au/project/costs-…, including application process. RTs much appreciated!

I am recruiting a PhD student to model the evolutionary dynamics of antibiotic resistance! The project involves statistical and mathematical modelling and a super cool dataset we are collecting on E. coli carriage in infants. Link to more info below.
