Come find me at poster P01.135 at #ESEB2025 on the 18th of August to talk about New Zealand mud snail, sex/asex and interesting mitochondria haplotype distribution 🐌🧬 feat a pic of the most recent sampling trip

I procrastinated my #ESEB2025 until the end and after printing realized one sentence made no sense :))))))) meet me at poster P01.135 on the 18th of August and you are allowed to bonk me in the head
Honestly can someone just bonk me in the head why do I have to be a procrastinator AND a perfectionist this is a lethal combo I won't make it

Bacteria that do not normally attack other bacteria will attack and eat them when food is scarce. Bacteria that have a Type VI Secretion System (T6SS) can use it to "harpoon" other bacteria when under stress from lack of nutrients.
