omg its out!
Conceptualising plant and parasitic-nematode as one “hologenome”, we use congruent differential expression of metabolic pathways to generate a new source of resistance!
Thanks all, esp. Shahid Siddique and UBonn team.

Very excited to share our new preprint with PEARG Brandon S. Cooper Tom L Schmidt on an elusive Wolbachia infection in Drosophila that causes male killing and is rapidly suppressed in laboratory populations

New research from Dean Tracy Langkilde and grad student Catherine Tylan shows that eating fire ants could prepare lizards for future fire ant attacks. More: science.psu.edu/news/Langkilde…
📢 Oh the places we'll go! Join us this Friday at 11AM EST for a duo of student seminars from the Penn State Microbiome Center community. From symbiotic light by Ed Penn State BMB to pathogenic disease by Max Aleman 🏳️🌈 psuPPEM, #WeAre enriched with diverse systems and topics in the microbiome sciences.
Had a fabulous day connecting with Science educators across the state. 21CTOYDagounis Pam Dixon-Kuhn, Missy Holzer Mark Rogoff, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection @NJESTA.Rocks NEA Talked about the importance of high school research programs & #AgLiteracy
With support from Sarah R. Bordenstein, teacher Christine Girtain won NJ State Teacher of the Year title for her various work in promoting science education, including Discover the Microbes Within! Wolbachia Project. Congratulations Christine & Dr. Bordenstein for the fantastic outreach effort!

Almost every conversation on how to increase diversity and inclusion in science compels someone to claim that 'we can either pursue diversity or excellence'.
I'm saving this editorial by Helmut Hillebrand to help those who are willing to reconsider their conclusions on excellence.
The video of Thomas Sharpton is up. Go do yourself a favor and enjoy it with a friend, popcorn, and recliner. youtu.be/bnPFuzmSbwU
Congrats Christine Girtain 💪🏼 Insane gift! Time for some fresh collections of Wolbachia around the state?
As kind as he is scholarly, Thomas Sharpton is one of a kind. Hanging out after the seminar with Jordan Bisanz David Koslicki and a round of drinks to cap off the dynamite day. Thanks Tom! Welcome back to the academic circuit.
