Exciting news: MEEhubs has been rescheduled and will be held from January 9-11th 2024! Mark your calendars and maps! Hubs will be in USA West (UC San Diego), Mexico (UNAM), USA East (Emory), USA NorthEast (Boston College), the UK (Oxford Uni) and Switzerland (Uni Lausanne) (1/3)
More £££ is now available to study the interplay between evolution and horizontal gene transfer in the emergence of novel symbiotic strains. 🚨Closes 8th march 🚨 go to ellieevolves.co.uk to find out more about the lab and get in touch.

🚨Funded PhD! Plasmid transfer can 'instantly' create new rhizobial symbionts. But can it really be that simple? Come explore the interplay between horizontal gene transfer and evolution in symbiont evolution with me and @Chomicki_G findaphd.com/phds/project/ac…

As a regular listener of TWIM it’s super exciting to have our latest paper featured in it!
If anyone fancies a little listen to this week in Microbiology they’ve included our recent @PLOSBiology paper. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

🎉🚨 1 year, technician job available. We'll be working on a super fun project using experimental evolution to explore plasmid-mediated host shifts in rhizobia.

HGT is not a bacterial process! It's a product of interactions between bacteria and all the inhabitants of the genetic ecosystem ❤️🦠👇 lovely perspective from @MicroTanya @Vicki_TR_Orr @jpjhall

So our recent paper from @JohnInnesCentre
with @BrockhurstLab, @ellieevolves @jpjhall @RobWJackson is out in @PLOSBiology. So here’s a little thread about what we found, because in my biased opinion it’s pretty cool.
Are the 'pillars of ED&I' like '#BAME' limiting our approach to achieving equity for #academicsofcolour? We argue that it is the intersectional spaces that shape/limit careers.

this was published after we wrote it but a beautify and excellent resource showing how academia is failing black academics in particular...
