Ever wondered how #Vibrio coralliilyticus causes disease in corals and other marine animals when the ocean gets hot? In this new work, we uncover #T6SSs as an important virulence factor.

We were lucky to get a visit and seminar from my PhD advisor and amazing coral biologist/ disease ecologist Dr. Greta Aeby! She spoke with my & Dr. Nikki Fogarty's students about their coral projects and shared her vast knowledge. So happy to see her again 😁
