If anyone knows the best companies, services, or labs, please provide me with their names and price range 💸
And we're also open to send samples to any lab that has TEM and would offer a help to scan these two bacteriophages for potential collaboration, so please don't hesitate to contact me 🙏🏻
Thanks

Safe to say that we are very excited about this here at ESEB!

Huge thanks to Brian Golding for entrusting us with the fantastic service that you have created and curated for the years!

What good is modeling? Introducing biology students to theory Theory and empirical science should be in constant dialogue, but often find it hard to understand one another. Here we describe a graduate-level university course we developed to improve matters. The ...

Preprint: What good is modeling? Introducing biology students to theory - arxiv.org/abs/2604.13344 - how to teach and think about what modeling contributes to science. How does it fit into the scientific method? This is often misunderstood.

My first preprint 😄

Interspecies interaction alters the trajectory of antibiotic resistance evolution by amplifying negative fitness epistasis Abstract. Interspecies interactions can influence the physiology of competing species, shaping their long-term evolutionary trajectories. Although interspe

Interested in predicting the dynamics of antibiotic resistance? Come work with us! We're looking for two postdocs to develop predictive models of resistance. We're interested in a range of approaches (mathematical & statistical modelling, causal inference, machine learning).

Temperature stress slows down the evolutionary arms race between predators and prey as shown by experimental evolution of ciliates and bacteria. This suggests that climate-driven stress may destabilize ecological communities:

Microbial communities can harbor many species that do not coexist in pairs, yet can coexist in the full community. Here we provide the mathematical foundations of emergent coexistence, and explain why it can't be predicted from pairwise tests journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol...

Check out our newest preprint! 📝 We find that adaptation on coevolutionary fitness landscapes is highly repeatable, but landscape-specific, and intergenomic epistasis creates coevolutionary fitness load for interacting species due to frequent fitness trade-offs 🏋️

UCLA's Most Decorated Ecologist Just Got Fired : Here's the sequence In January of 2025, at the ICTP ICTS winter school at NCBS, Priyanga Amarasekare offered to take me and a few other students out for my birthday. She didn't have to do that.

Insightful summary of an extraordinary person being extraordinarily fired: "you don't silence a woman of color who raised concerns about racism by silencing her...The fingerprints are distributed perfectly across the system." www.linkedin.com/pulse/uclas-...
