🚨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...
