We're hiring a postdoc to study host-microbe interactions! Our integrative research program studies how the world's most common bacterial endosymbiont has become so successful. Much of it is to do with the bacteria's ability to make its host's sex lives all about them. If you think this sounds interesting, consider applying!

Happy to announce this #preprint , the culmination of last 10 years. 🥳

We find that #antimicrobialpeptides are evolved to control specific #microbiome #bacteria. This example is a textbook case of host #immune #evolution being shaped by the microbiome 🦠 which depends on host #ecology.

Thanks for comments! Bit of an experiment: we are posting pre-submit to get feedback 🙂.

Single innate immune effectors control ecological microbiome bacteria across evolutionary timescales

Antimicrobial peptides are host-encoded antibiotics that combat invading microbes and help shape the microbiome in plants and animals.

I'm still finding my feet here, so it feels right to share with you the first #JournalCover I ever got with my #sciart

I was a #postdoc at the time and I had 1 evening to produce something around the idea that virulence in #bacteria is often 'all about the #phage ... '

A lucky break for me!
#MastoArt #Introduction

A blue rod shaped bacterium with 3 flagella in a soup of red and green phage, some with short tails, some with long tails. The image is done with aquarelle - a kind of nicely textured watercolour monoprint

#introduction Hello world! 👋🏼 I’m a community ecologist, scientific illustrator, and educator at Stanford passionate about social justice in STEM. ✊🏼

I study #bacteria and #yeast 🦠 that live in the #nectar of California #wildflowers 🌻.

I also #LiveSketch conference talks, so give me a follow if you want to see beautifully illustrated 🎨🖌️ science 🧬🔬🧪!
