Postdoc studying microbial ecology at Geobiology & Planetary Sciences @Caltech. Plants are pretty cool too. Views my own.

(1/n) Thrilled to share latest pre-print from lab - open imaging tool we have been working for the last 3 years "PlanktonScope V1 & 2" - modular (100x cost reduction) platform to enable citizens/sailors to study the world's largest habitat - our oceans! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share that our 5+ years of hoping and waiting (and a bit of work) led to sediment-free anaerobic methane-oxidizing cultures! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ae…

Evolution made pregnancy risky! One in five pregnant people in the US develops (potentially serious, lifelong) complications due to biological parent-offspring conflict. Madison B. Sharp (ob-gyn at @PennMedicine) and I (biology at @Stanford) argue for abortion rights in @Slate.

For the joy of childbirth, many of us take our chances on the health risks of pregnancy. But we shouldn’t be forced to. slate.trib.al/8cYqmbX

Our paper (and my first pub!) on the evolution of the MtrCAB extracellular electron transfer system is out! We found that these genes have jumped, skipped, and hopped into (and out of) a diverse array of microbial genomes. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

Excited to share this collaborative work @JMcLean_UW @BatbilegBor @bajenak published in @PNASNews. We present data showing the benefits of acquiring a novel pathway in the transition of Saccharibacteria (TM7) from environment to mammalian microbiome. pnas.org/content/119/2/…
The ADA Forsyth Institute@ForsythResearch

Published today in @PNASNews, Forsyth researcher @he_xuesong & collaborator @JMcLean_UW have uncovered new insights about the genetic evolution of TM7, a group of ultra-small bacteria that have adapted to thrive living inside human mouths: forsyth.org/news/researche… #oralmicrobiome

Manganese oxidizing chemolithoautotroph story continues! Here we show that microbes with the genomic potential to feed on manganese for calories and electrons could be found in freshwater and marine environments worldwide. Preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our review on HGT and adaptive evolution in bacteria is out! nature.com/articles/s4157… Really enjoyed working on this with @BrianJohnArnold and @BillHanage How does the shuttling and shuffling of genes interact with selection? Bottom line: we should be prepared to be surpised
Bill Hanage @BillHanage.bsky.social@BillHanage

It's not widely known outside academic circles, but bacteria are capable of horizontal gene transfer - transmitting genetic material btwn lineages and even species. I wrote this with Brian Arnold and @I_TingH about the consequences for evolution nature.com/articles/s4157…

Symbioses must innovate to survive, especially in changing environments. But the strategies they use for genetic innovation vary. How they innovate depends on the genetic population structure of symbionts (open, closed, or mixed). Learn more in our review! nature.com/articles/s4157…
