Thanks to Thomas, Flora, Ivan, and everyone else in the TIMC lab for hosting me in Grenoble and sharing so much exciting science. Looking forward to future collaborations and exchanges!
Dr. Audrey Le Gouellec@alegouellec

It was wonderful to have Jeff @barricklab in our lab this week. Very fruitful exchanges concerning the in vitro evolution experiment of E.coli over 75000 generations (#LTEE) started by @RELenski. A unique way to understand the mechanisms of genetic and metabolic evolution of bact

A group of students from @UTAustin are taking part in an international biology competition known as @iGEM. This year, the team of 12 undergrads are trying to protect Austin's beloved bat🦇population. kxan.com/news/local/aus…

This week Emmanuel Chavarria and Isaac Gifford performed their first #LTEE transfers. Isaac will be coming in to keep the E. coli evolving on the July 4th holiday.

The world’s longest evolution experiment is now in Austin! On Tuesday, Jeff Barrick thawed 12 strains of E. coli that have evolved for 75,000 generations—that’s equivalent to 1.5 million yrs of human evolution. We can’t wait to see what surprises & discoveries are in store! #LTEE
