We tend to oversimplify explanations in biology. But life teaches otherwise. This message and others comprise one of the best podcast episodes on holobiont biology with @markowenmartin interviewing the brilliant Dr. Kevin Kohl, once postdoc in the B lab. youtu.be/gH7q8C32JIQ?si=1ZXM…

Great event and awesome microbiome talks with @MeriemBel02
We appreciate the talented #infectionbiology and #microbiome researchers who joined us in Paris for the #CSInfectionMicrobiome Cell Symposia! Exciting to witness such diverse, global, multi-disciplinary cross-pollination and networking, which spurred new collaborations and ideas!

Bakterienbesiedlung der Lunge hängt auch vom Wirtsgenom ab! Gemeinsame Studie der @kieluni & des @FZBorstel liefert Beweis für eine Rolle der genetischen Variation des Wirts, die zu Veränderungen in der Zusammensetzung des #Lungenmikrobioms beiträgt: bit.ly/3Ba7tV8

If you study host-microbiome interactions that are stable or transient or that span the spectrum of functional interactions, consider this hologenomics conference in northern Spain in September. See you there. @AppliedHoloConf @Hologenomes @EHologenome

Symbiosis and microbiome folks: If you're on the spring job market for a position, the lab will have positions open in the coming weeks at a few ranks. Projects explore genetics/mechanisms of reproductive parasitism, phage WO biology, and animal microbiomes. More to come.

Ever been infected by Haemophilus influenzae? Not? Probably because your vaccination works or you don't know yet 😛 there are new species/strains on the rise and antimicrobial resistances are an issue. Check out our new paper. Great work from @MarDir6 genomemedicine.biomedcentral…
