Interested in gut microbiomes and social behaviour? 📢Check out this PhD opportunity at Oxford Biology with me, Josh Firth and @Jonathan_PGreen. Please get in touch if interested/have questions! findaphd.com/phds/project/t…

Wonderful PhD opportunity in ecoimmunology! What shapes immune regulation in the wild? Fieldwork with wild house mice on the Isle of May, lab skills and data science all inclusive! Join our lovely team with Amy Pedersen, Kathryn Else Rowan Bancroft findaphd.com/phds/project/e…

Do we need to consider temporal changes in social networks? New preprint led by Rachael Pung uses human networks from 5 different social contexts to show how considering the transient nature of sociability is vital for identifying superspreaders: medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Job alert! Might you fancy a part-time role assisting with wild rodent fieldwork in the beautiful Wytham Woods, as part of project on viral dynamics with Jayna Raghwani Christina Faust and I...? If so check it out: jobs.rvc.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx?r…

Online Science Magazine co-lead with francesspragge! We looked at why microbiome diversity protects against pathogens. It's down to a simple principle of collective nutrient overlap, which can predict protective communities against a given pathogen! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…🧵👇

We're looking for enthusiastic field assistants to work on a range of projects at beautiful Wytham Woods near Oxford this spring: some posts for ornithologists with ringing licences; some for more general ecology. Please share with anyone who might be interested:

📢 Announcing the next set of talks in our WAME STN ESEB virtual seminar series! These talks will explore the importance of the microbiome in conservation with a fab lineup of speakers! April 18th at 15:00 BST (10:00 Eastern, 7:00 Pacific time). See link below 🦠👇

Great to have our paper on the Skokholm Island mice out in Molecular Ecology. In it, Eveliina Hanski looks at how we can measure an individual’s age from their poo, using an epigenetic clock. Congrats Eveliina Hanski and great to work with Tom Little and others on this 💩

Great opportunity from WAME STN for any early career researchers studying wild animal microbiomes that would benefit from some research-related travel…
