🗞️ New preprint from the lab, led by our postdoc Ana Garoña (not on here) in collab with @andreagiometto.bsky.social: “Experimental evolution of cellular miniaturization reveals a mechanism for cell size evolution”, aka: “honey, we shrank the yeasts!” 🎥

Updated bioRxiv on microbial antagonism in boom-and-bust environments with new experiments and a streamlined discussion of the mathematical results: t.ly/GkXAY With MingYi Wang & Alex Vladimirsky we show that disturbances favor non-antagonistic microbes and derive optimal toxin production strategies
Amazing!
For those of you just arriving at Bluesky, welcome!
Here's some good advice about how to make this platform work for you.
New 🧪 research in PNAS: One of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet is closer than you think: inside your mouth!
New research from the MBL uncovered an extraordinary mechanism of cell division in Corynebacterium matruchotii—multiple fission (splitting into multiple cells at once!)
We are looking for a #PhD student to join us in Spring '25 to engineer #Bacillus subtilis spores for #engineeredlivingmaterials #ELM! Enthusiasm outweighs background. Please RT and reach out, deadline is fast approaching!
Looking for a postdoc fellowship? Check out the Cornell Atkinson Postdoctoral Fellowships in Sustainability www.atkinson.cornell.edu/cornell-atki...
Competition between an antagonist cell and a non-antagonist one
Can non-antagonistic #microbes survive alongside toxin producers? With MingYi Wang & Alex Vladimirsky #Cornell we explore how disturbances favor non-antagonistic microbes and identify optimal regulatory strategies that define the competitive edge of toxin producers t.ly/GkXAY Interested? Join us!
Hey folks! First post for me here 🔵 to remind that this is the last day to submit your abstract to the Ecological Dynamics session at APS March Meeting 2024!
I'll start this off with an announcement! Two #postdoc positions at the crossroads of Evolutionary Microbiology & Soft Matter Physics in my group. Engage with the exciting Microbiology and Soft/Active Matter community
at Cornell. Apply here: academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/25327
