One postdoc in bat ecology + ecoservices: tinyurl.com/27attrsc
Deadline is March 30 2026
PhD opportunity: Interested in plants, fungi, and bacteria? Want to understand the cross-talk between all of them + get field and lab experience? Learn cutting-edge omics! Apply for a PhD with me (USoton) and Kew Gardens. Due Jan 8.

Editor’s Pick: Terrence H. Bell et al. believe that there is no single “best” approach to iterative microbiome passaging but that experimental design choices can have substantial impacts on outcomes. Learn more: doi.org/10.1094/PBIOMES-11-2… @DrMicroWill
ALT Fig. 1. Here, we visualize how the impact of iterative microbiome passaging may differ with time.
I had an absolute blast at the #rhizosphere6 conference in Edinburgh! It was so lovely catching up with so many existing and new colleagues! Very first conference with my lab! @sotonbiosci @unisouthampton
First ever conference for my PhD student, Sarah Connery! Representing @unisouthampton @sotonbiosci at #rhizosphere6 - playing around with synthetic communities

Today marks the first day of the #Rhizosphere6 conference in Edinburgh. We look forward to a week of engaging presentations and discussions on the latest advances in root-soil-microbe interactions.

Check out our recent paper about maize exudates (quantity and composition) at their youngest growth stages! Great study led by @bensch_armin from the lab of @TarynBauerle out of @Cornell
#Exudates decrease strongly during #plantdevelopment and #metabolome shifts from diverse, sugar-dominated to secondary exudates. Fast-growth genotypes exude root establishing, slow-growth more defensive compounds. @DrMicroWill @TarynBauerle @ScharfPlants: doi.org/10.1016/j.plantsci.2…
