Canonical pathoadaptive cystic fibrosis genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa are not CF-specific
Research on Pseudomonas aeruginosa adaptation in cystic fibrosis (CF) has historically relied on comparing chronic isolates to laboratory reference strains, or evolving reference strains in environmen...

Hey all! Happy to finally join everyone here on Bluesky, and also to share the culmination of my longest-running postdoc project, now on bioRxiv: “Apparent generalism in Pseudomonas aeruginosa is underpinned by convergent cryptic specialization.” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

The hidden energy cost of cellular dormancy
Many organisms survive harsh environments by switching into special survival modes. Some bacteria do this by forming spores—dormant, highly resilient cells that can persist for years or even centuries...

The Hive Tarantula (Theraphosa vesparium) enters a symbiotic bond with a swarm of wasps, allowing them to build a colony on its abdomen. The spider protects the queen and larvae, and the wasps help feed it. This mutualistic unit of tarantula and wasp is extremely territorial.
Inside a rusted pole, a large black tarantula with yellow hair sits in a defensive position. A hive of wasps swarms on its back, protecting its young.

I will soon open up calls for a PhD student (free choice of topic as long as it fits to our group) and a scientific programmer / ecological data scientist. If you know what we are doing and would like to join our team, feel free to get in touch.

I use #ggplot #gganimate #Rstats to visualize spatiotemporal trends in public ICE detention data. Watch ICE detention increase over time: more detainees (bigger dots), more non-criminals (blue → red), and more jails far from the border in 2025. Code #gist: gist.github.com/JEFworks/899... #DataViz
