After I finished my PhD, the next big question I wanted to ask is finally answered!
I am very proud to share our new paper on the discovery of #salamander produced antimicrobial peptides and that these peptides influence salamander skin #microbiomes

I've been teaching General Ecology @UFBiology and experimenting with ways to help make learning fun. One way I've found particularly useful, is through web apps (games and simulations). Feel free to use them, fork them or steal them. A work in progress. ufduttonlab.github.io/teachi…

GATOR-GC is out at @NAR_Open !!Check out our new targeted genome mining tool featuring a novel similarity metric to efficiently compare and deduplicate gene clusters.
We uncover biosynthetic diversity missed by other genome mining tools

Great to be able to promote the #ISBA2025 Special Collection we are putting together with @MicrobioSoc - contact me if you wish to submit and thanks also to @MicrobioSoc for sponsoring the ECR-mentors lunch
Day 3 of #ISBA2025 was packed with more great talks and students had the chance to connect with the mentors in the organized lunch session! We finished the day with the second poster session - the best posters will be awarded on the last day of the Symposium, so stay tuned!

If you are a PhD student in microbial interactions or natural products that is displaced by this political bullshit and looking for a new lab, I have room for one (or potentially two) PhD students in my group in the fall when I move to UW. Feel free to reach out via email.

I came to the US as an international student and it changed my entire life — opened so many doors.
Harvard ban will impact many US schools as international students will be uncertain about enrolling.
Other countries will benefit the most as students now need safer options.
