Need an up-to-date #TreeofLife for teaching/conferences/wall paper? Talented PhD student @BasileBeaud drew a schematic consensus ToL from the most recently published phylogenies. Hope this is useful! Downloadable version in the thread👇
Way to celebrate every step of the process! Our department's future is in very good hands @MosMicrobes David Hershey @KarthikGeomicro @betulland @elmtree1111 @CharlieMo8 -- would like the photo of this lineup in 20 years too ...
Celebrating the positive department vote to advance @KarthikGeomicro on to the dean and divisional committee for tenure evaluation! All our assistant professors are awesome. @UWMadisonCALS
Today's the day! Professor Karthik Anantharaman @karthikgeomicro 3:30 live in the @UWBact Ebling Symposium Center. "Advancing microbial and viral ecology frameworks for human and environmental microbiomes"
Dr. Milligan-McClennan is a huge inspiration. Not to mention an @UWMadisonMDTP alumna! onwisconsin.uwalumni.com/fea…
