This is both of our lab's first time engaging in the ELife process and it has been fun! Lili's work is super integrative and we have learned a lot about the social context of anemonefish regulates phenotypic change to establish hierarchy. It is super fascinating!

Last, but definitely not least, we have joint Buston/Davies lab PhD student Lili Vizer. This paper represents an insane amount of data and Lili has done a beautiful job!

This work was really fun and probably the coolest finding was that we think that Endozoicomonas likely exists inside the symbiosome in Aiptasia because it was unaffected by antibiotics! Re-establishment of the microbiome also clearly involves the host immune system. Very fun!

I keep telling myself to get more active on Bluesky but there hasn't really been a good reason. But yesterday, the Davies lab had three awesome pubs come online (I think this is a record!) so I really want to celebrate the mentees that made this incredible work happen!

I defended my PhD 10 years ago today. That was the least remarkable thing that happened that day. Sharing something I wrote about it last year. Since then "the horrors persist but so do we." And with dignity.
