I’m excited for Jordan Rodriguez’s paper and software, This Must Be the Place and EcoLocator! She uses global prediction of location and climate of origin to identify loci with signatures of local adaptation. Also applies to Doug Fir data. Feedback welcome! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

This must be the place: deep learning local adaptation

Climate change is increasingly disrupting the relationship between locally adapted populations and the environments in which they evolved, creating an urgent need for tools that connect genomic variat...

Hard to believe it’s already been 1 year since opening the Kowalski Lab! Such a whirlwind. Feeling so fortunate to work with these amazing women and for the support of the NIAID DP2 New Innovators Award that will fund our work on the skin mycobiome and atopic dermatitis for the next five years! 🔬

I just saw a meme that said “get in losers, we’re reclaiming the emdash”. People. PEOPLE. Where are your STANDARDS? It CLEARLY should be “get in, losers — we’re reclaiming the em dash.”

The Long-Term Evolution Experiment has returned home. Led by Professors Richard Lenski (@relenski.bsky.social) and Jeffrey Barrick, this groundbreaking work continues to reveal how bacteria evolve in real time. 12 flasks. 1 legacy. 🔗https://tinyurl.com/f6vjyjvr

Rich Lenski adds information to the Long-Term Evolution Experiment lab notebook after restarting the experiment at MSU. Jeff Barrick and Devin Lake stand behind him.

With Jeff Barrick's return to #MSU, the #LTEE was restarted today after a short pause (frozen) for the move. Today was daily transfer 12,301. With ~6.6 generations per day, they are now at ~82,007 generations. 100,000 generations is fast approaching! Are you ready, #Spartans? @msumgi.bsky.social

Excited to share the latest work by outstanding PhD student @kdc509.bsky.social. This was one of our first forays into experimental evolution and uncovered some cool connections between potassium transport and antimicrobial resistance in S. aureus. Major kudos to Killian!

Zip "prevents internalization and destruction of newly released phage progeny, a phenomenon that we call the anti-Kronos effect after the Greek god who consumed his offspring. Zip activity promotes the accumulation of free phages in bacterial lysogen communities, thereby enhancing viral spread."

Still on a science high after an incredible Microbial Population GRS/GRC. Honored to have been able to talk about my work. Grateful for all the amazing feedback, ideas, and inspiring conversations—especially from the brilliant scientists whose papers I’ve long admired. Can’t wait for the next one!

Excited to share that our story on S. aureus antagonism by Malassezia is live today in Current Biology! The paper has changed a lot since the preprint with the very exciting addition of having identified the antimicrobial effector generated by M. sympodialis. authors.elsevier.com/c/1kwzj3QW8S...
