How do we fund and publish research that doesn't fit neatly into a single discipline? Last week, at the #EMBORulesOfTheGame, #HFSP Chief Scientific Officer Guntram Bauer presented how HFSP supports #frontierscience across disciplines and borders. @embo.org

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

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!)

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!
