Check out the final version of our paper! With the brilliant @abenaakyaw.bsky.social , we showed that resistance and disease tolerance mechanisms evolved in tandem to enable a fast and strong response to oral bacterial infection in #Dmelanogaster. #hostparasite #experimentalevolution

Had a great time presenting my work @Evolution in Sweden.
