I have an MRC-funded PhD project available (gw4biomed.ac.uk/how-does-tem...) on how warming will change the problem of AMR. Join a small and friendly group (padpadpadpad.netlify.app/about) in (sometimes) sunny Cornwall. 🧪🦠 #microsky **Please share** the ad below with anyone who may be interested.

🦠Fully funded PhD project with myself, Angus Buckling, Jo Lello and Phil Mitchelmore🦠 How should we design phage therapeutics for bacterial co-infections? How do interactions between pathogens affect treatment efficacy? Please get in touch if you have any Qs 💃 shorturl.at/39Xea

PhD opportunity to start September 2024! Come work on climate change and antibiotic resistance with me, Ed Feil, Angus Buckling, and others. We will use lab experiments, modelling and sequencing to look how plasmid transfer, selection, and costs of resistance change with temperature.

Accepted in MBE: we do targeted sequencing of Myxococotta across environments to try understand how transitions between biomes happen through macroevolutionary time. TL;DR Evolved generalism mediated transitions between specialists in different biomes. academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-...

Macroevolutionary dynamics in micro-organisms: generalists give rise to specialists across biomes in the ubiquitous bacterial phylum Myxococcota

Abstract. Prokaryotes dominate the Tree of Life, but our understanding of the macroevolutionary processes generating this diversity is still limited. Habit

doi.org/10.1371/jour... Our new study investigates the evolution of virulence of a fungal entomopathogen in vivo. Through a lens of evolutionary theory, we explore multi-level selection, revealing conflicts and potential for improving biocontrol traits! @benraymond.bsky.social
