Being an Assistant Professor in Biology at McMaster means I get to do what I love most - ask cool questions and work with a team to answer them. Science is fun!

I'm sorry to say that my brother, Jonathon Doyle, passed away this past Tuesday. We've set up a Children's Aid Foundation "Dare to Dream" bursary in his name. He will be sorely missed.

A huge undertaking with a big pay-off. The results from this paper made me rethink our current approaches to solving the "rhizobia competition problem" in agriculture, which I wrote about (with help from two amazing undergrads!) in this @CurrentBiology Dispatch Article #Microbes
How does interstrain competition among microbes affect their services to hosts? Experimental work out today by @ac_arafat shows the marked costs to symbiosis. Check it out here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1hTUb…

Honoured to kick off the Microbial ecology and evolution symposium this morning! Had such a fantastic time chatting with fellow microbe lovers. Thanks @LeaGrie @acgerstein for organizing this awesome symposium! #BEEPEG2023

I’m really excited to share this preprint which is the result of my very first project discussion with @JohnStinchcombe and @ME_Frederickson at the start of my PhD! A thread on latitudinal diversity gradients in symbiotic microbial communities. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Dear colleagues- Do you plan to #SupportOurScience on Monday? The constant worry over finances is hurting out students, driving some to leave academia, and reducing access.
