Next one in a storm of preprints from our lab's amazing scientists.. Recent-ex-postdoc, #newPI @cathyhernandez.bsky.social studied thermal ecology of marine bacteria isolated near New Haven. Turns out, response of this bacterium to temperatures is shaped by prophages!
#phagesky #microsky
How does population density affect evolutionary trajectory?
Microbes construct their own niche which in turn reshapes their evolution.
Preprint drop from grad student @noahhoupt.bsky.social whose evolution experiments featured blue/white colonies, 1000 generations, a lab move, and much more!

Current postdoc, soon-to-be-PI @cathyhernandez.bsky.social is presenting a poster on the involvement of prophages in thermal ecology of marine microbes 🌊🦠
She is also convening a session on #prophages and giving a rapid fire talk! 🔥

Grad student @noahhoupt.bsky.social will present the story of experimentally evolving a Pseudomonas lab strain for 150 generations over 1000 days. Spoiler alerts: #prophages are important! 🦠📊

Postbac Matthew Davidson will present a poster about phage Woody 🪵 #newPhageAlert
Matthew will be applying for grad school soon!
*High-school level summary article*
Wrote a piece describing our recent paper @paulturnerlab.bsky.social to a high-school educated audience. #phagesky #microsky
Reach out if you want to do the same for your recent paper. It's super fun!

Our latest preprint just dropped @paulturnerlab.bsky.social
We evolved bacteria on swim plates, against a phage that attacks through the flagellum. Motility trades off AND trades up(!!) with phage-resistance!

Latest paper drop from Yale Phage Center @paulturnerlab.bsky.social
YaleNews @yale.edu covered our recent paper on measuring virus attachment 🦠🔬🤩

Reposted below is the Yale News coverage about our former postdoc @norapyenson.bsky.social's latest paper.
And linked below is the summary post from Nora: bsky.app/profile/nora...
Beautiful paper from our ex-postdoc @norapyenson.bsky.social
Tailed and Bursting with joy!
The UCSB KITP QBio course on mobile elements was amazing 🩵 With excellent projects led by @paulturnerlab.bsky.social, Roberto Kolter, Joanne Emerson, Richard Neher, @erikvannimwegen.bsky.social, Ben Good (+ me). Course began with a wetlab bootcamp, Dallas Mould demonstrating the first experiments..
