I'll be speaking virtually at the Microbiome Virtual International Forum on November 12. Register now to learn how the overlooked, selfish microbes and phages in the reproductive tract often exert more influence on host biology than their gut counterparts cassyni.com/s/mvif-33

🔥New paper out in Science!!🔥 @ScienceMagazine We found that a third of the seed dispersers and interactions face potential extinction, in Europe 🌿🌳🐦‍⬛🦆🌍 This was an incredibly challenging (and rewarding!) chapter of my PhD thesis! #seeddispersal science.org/doi/abs/10.112…

We found a way to implant bacteria 🦠 in fungi 🍄and used it to induce artificial endosymbiosis. Read all about it in our newest research paper @Nature . nature.com/articles/s4158…

This is a milestone!

Israel detonating thousands of bombs in Lebanon knowing that this will harm and kill children, civilians, medics and passersby going about their daily lives in markets and on the street is in fact an act of terrorism.
