Congratulations to our winners of the top 5 best student presentations, @rhi_eastment, Chris Blake, @jack_manera, Kate Cooper, and @ShihoOzeki! And congratulations to Patricia Slattery for taking out the best flash talk!

The Award for Research Engagement and Impact goes to the VICPhage team (@JeremyJBarr, @AntonPeleg, @NandoGordillo, @SubDinesh). Their impactful work was showcased in @SBS doco 'Last Chance to Save a Life' 👏👏 Learn more about the #MonashScienceAwards 👉monash.edu/science/awards

Experimental evidence that the tipping point behavior of an ecological community can evolve. New work from @ChrisB_Microbes, @JakeNBarber, Tim Connallon, @MonashBiol, @Monash_Science). nature.com/articles/s4155…

What better way to celebrate the first publication of my PhD than a run in the shape of a tipping point between E. coli and yeast. nature.com/articles/s4155… #stravart #run @MonashUni @NatureEcoEvo

New @NatureEcoEvo paper from @ChrisB_Microbes, A/Prof @MikeJayMcD & co revealed that evolution can significantly impact the tipping points of ecosystems, suggests that evolutionary approaches could enhance the resilience of threatened ecosystems. More👇 monash.edu/science/news-e…

The first paper from my PhD is out! It was so much fun working on this. Thanks to everyone involved! nature.com/articles/s4155…

Congrats to A/Prof @JeremyJBarr @MonashBiol on being awarded $500,000 USD from the @gatesfoundation to support ground-breaking research discovering how bacteriophages could prime human immunity and impact health. Read more 👇 monash.edu/science/news-e…

Saturday morning sorted. What an interesting and visually stunning issue of TAG from new editor @antheabatsakis 🙌

📣📣📣 Velkommen to #SMBE2026 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Congratulations to the Copenhagen Team on a very convincing presentation and the successful bid.

Good morning #SMBE2024 participants! Please join us first thing for one of the highlights of the conference: the Graduate Student Excellence Symposium, chaired by our President. Congratulations to our GSA winners 2024!

1/7 Excited to share our new preprint! @JFriedman_micro @EvolSys We explored evolutionary rescue in microbial communities, focusing on how obligate mutualisms respond to environmental changes. #MicrobialEcology #EvolutionaryBiology

Please join us in congratulating Christopher Blake @ChrisB_Microbes for winning one of 2024’s prestigious SMBE Graduate Student Excellence Awards for his excellent talk "Evolutionary shift of a tipping point forestalls collapse in a microbial community" #SMBE2024 pic.twitter.com/NO3XBiwC0v
