Curious about how anthropogenic actions reshape microbial communities and their role in ecosystems and public health? 🌎

I’m looking for a PhD student to join my lab at AU. Admission would be through our Biomedical & Environmental Health Sciences program, which offers five fully funded fellowships.

Next week I am turning in a complete draft of my second book, “sustainable seafood: a guide for concerned consumers!”

I am seeking expert colleagues willing to give sections within your area of expertise a friendly read.

Exclusive: A major scientific publisher, Taylor & Francis, said it has paused submissions to its journal Bioengineered so editors there can investigate some 1000 of its papers that bear signs they contain manipulated results or came from paper mills. scim.ag/4kjR4la
Journal plagued with problematic papers, likely from paper mills, pauses submissions
The halt will let Taylor & Francis focus on checking Bioengineered’s papers for fraudulent works and paid authorships
