The Ewel fellowship in tropical/subtropical ecology is a stellar program. Applications due Jan 11th. I am happy to sponsor a fellow in microbial ecology of corals, seagrasses, mangroves, freshwater springs, etc.
Looking for a postdoctoral fellowship in 2026? The Ewel fellowship at UF provides salary and research support for 2 years. I would be happy to sponsor a postdoc interested in microbial ecology of Florida coastal ecosystems.

BIOLOG question: is there a good pipeline or program to compare biolog results (either in terms of absorbance reads or carbon sources/antibiotics/etc) to KEGG outputs from whole genome sequencing? Right now our tech is doing am manual comparison but there has to be an easier way. 🦠🧬

My life changed when I first read "The Sea Around Us." Rachel Carson's words captured my 13-yr old sense of wonder for a place I barely knew but felt for so deeply, the ocean. Honored to speak to her legacy @agu.org and grateful to my colleagues for the nomination 🌊💙

So cool to see what Meyer Lab alum Dr. Dawson is up to these days!
What do drug trials and coral reefs have in common? More than you’d think. 🧪🌊 Dr. DeVant’e Dawson’s SuperReefs work is using a medical science tool (ED₅₀) to uncover how coral species handle heat stress. Here’s how it works:

Has anybody found archaea that cause disease in humans?
(We’re talking causation by Koch’s postulates here.)
When I last taught Micro, the answer was no. Wondering if something popped up in past couple years.

Probiotics helped great star corals fend off a deadly disease
A probiotic paste prevented the spread of stony coral tissue loss disease, but the treatment is still a proof-of-concept, not a cure.
