Interested in #virulence? Not sure what it is - or how to explain it? Just curious? 🧐🦠🧬🦋

@kayla-king.bsky.social and I just wrote a Primer for @currentbiology.bsky.social on the ecology and evolution of virulence!

Check it below and share :)

Today people went around my neighborhood in north east London spray painting St George’s crosses onto people’s homes. Many of these houses have non British people living in them.

This is getting very dark, very quick.

With #eseb2025 coming to a close, it is time to start making plans for 2026. Interested in the interface of evolution 🧬 and ecology 🌳? Come to our #ExE conference hosted by @uniexecec.bsky.social in beautiful #Cornwall. Leave your email address at tinyurl.com/EvolxEcol to join our mailing list!

I am happy to announce publication of our new perspectives paper on applying evolutionary theory to host-microbiome evolution - new tricks for old dogs! @bweek.bsky.social @uni-kiel.de @transevo.bsky.social @crc1182.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This #lichen like the sun. Swirling golden prominences cast into space from areas of intense localised heat. Found on the bushes that skirt the turning circle of the ocean road where I walk my dog. This cul-de-sac hides amazing and wondrous things if you care to look #FungiFriends

A new theme issue of #PhilTransB examines the evolutionary history of bacterial immune systems, their modes of action, and the patterns how different bacterial immune systems are distributed across different ecosystems. Read: buff.ly/Z4qdxY1

In the new book Labwork to Leadership, chemist Jen Heemstra offers actionable leadership advice to principal investigators.

yes they do. they're spreading disinformation to people who can be confused by it, in order to keep doing things that make money (in this case, fossil fuels). that distinction is foundational to understanding what is happening at all scales of government, including and especially what RFK is doing

Portugal was in mourning after the Glória funicular, one of Lisbon’s best-known sights, crashed this week, killing more than a dozen people and injuring 21 others. Workers removed the wreckage on Friday. Here's what we know: nyti.ms/4p7gtlB

To those who can: speak out. Silence won’t fix the wrongs in science- and we have more power than we think.

ECRs keep science alive, but it should never come at the cost of our well-being. Mutual respect is the foundation of all relationships, and academia is no exception.

Just wrote a lil piece for @cp-trendsmicrobiol.bsky.social about my experience moving for science: problems and solutions 🌎🧪🧫

How do bacteria choose what type of defences to use against phages? We explored that question in the last paper I worked on as a postdoc at the Uni of Exeter @uniofexeteresi.bsky.social with Stineke van Houte, Stefano Pagliara and Edze Westra (not on Bluesky)

Really cool work, which supports our previous works on Anopheles' microbiome, immune response and activation through age and its links to "metabolic reprogramming" - one of my favourite things

What causes viral transmission bottlenecks? This study uses barcoded virions to show that in the case of #influenza A #virus, early within-host replication dynamics (rather than a reduced inoculum population) drive loss of diversity during transmission @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4ngicDK
