Happy to share the first article of my PhD in @elife.bsky.social: Environmental temperature is a strong driver of subspecies competition in the #Drosophila #microbiome You can check it out here: elifesciences.org/articles/110... #SymbioSky #MicroSky #symbiosis #AcademicSky🧪

Environmental temperature is a strong driver of subspecies competition in the Drosophila microbiome
Changes in abiotic factors, such as temperature, can affect the host fitness indirectly by modulating subspecies dynamics of key taxa, which are usually overlooked in microbiome research.

Here's my review for @theguardian.com of @rowhoop.bsky.social's superb new book Togetherness. I recommend it highly. www.theguardian.com/books/2026/j...
theguardian.com
Togetherness by Rowan Hooper review – a stunning portrait of cooperation in nature
This corrective to our habitual emphasis on competition had me writing ‘wow’ in the margins again and again

Excited to share our first paper on the symbiosis between chlamydiae and social amoebae showing in detail the adaptations of endosymbionts to the social life style of their host! 🎉

Happy to be in the GRC Animal-microbiome symbiosis sharing my transcriptomic photosymbiosis work. I learned a lot from amazing colleagues and really interesting research. Looking forward to have more discussion! Visit my poster Wednesday #16. #GRC #GRS #photosymbiosis

With science based solutions and collaboration, it's still possible to help coral reefs. Ocean day has to be hope for all of us, especially for researchers in the marine field...please do not forget that!

It’s true, you only see what you’re looking for: After decades studying chemosynthetic symbionts in clam gills, we realized they colonize the digestive tract too 😱 academic.oup.com/ismej/articl...
Microscopy images showing host cell nuclei in blue, signals corresponding to bacterial symbionts in red. A sketch of the host anatomy shows the location of the microscopy images.
