#KerrLab Band is back together #CSEE2023

Really cool talk on bird and mammal sizes along environmental gradients from the #KerrLab at #sotm2023

#Kerrlab wraps up with #ESA2022 ! Such impressive talks from the team, thanks for an inspiring week!

Today we celebrated the 12 years that @katie_jane_d has been a researcher, manager, mentor & curriculum developer in #kerrlab. Beyond her research & education impact, her creativity, dedication & kindness fostered a culture of cooperation, engagement & inspiration in our group…

A little late this year due to Covid delays but the tradition continues! I just finished pouring the #kerrlab Petri dish "Jello" shots for our annual party. Some of our most competitive contenders @hljordt & @RS_McGee have moved on so the field is wide open!

Thank you #kerrlab for the fun!

Never fear Kerrfluffles! Alas, in true Katie #kerrlab fashion, I have not wrapping up all my work so I am seeing a couple more weekends & evenings lab visits in my future (2/6)

After 12 years, today is my last official day in the #kerrlab! I cannot thank the brilliant & kind @evokerr enough for his unwavering support, generosity, knowledge, & for putting up with me for so long! #kerrlab members present & past have been a delight to work with!! (1/6)

Excited for a little #kerrlab "The Cove" Zoom reunion with @hljordt, @RS_McGee, and @livkosterlitz

#Kerrlab meeting paper this week "Compensatory mutations improve general permissiveness to antibiotic resistance plasmids" nature.com/articles/s4155… with special guest Eva Top @EvaTop3

I hope to have some time to attend #kerrlab meeting this quarter. For our first meeting we will discuss: "Introduction: the secret lives of microbial mobile genetic elements" royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… from @jpjhall, @ellieevolves, and @surt_lab

@Amelia_Lindsey Yep, add us #kerrlab to the list, at the bench

#kerrlab meeting paper for tomorrow: "Changes in the distribution of fitness effects & adaptive mutational spectra following a single first step towards adaptation" nature.com/articles/s4146… from @dimitra_aggeli, @liyuping927, @gsherloc Should be an interesting discussion!!

#kerrlab meeting paper for this week: "Non-antibiotic pharmaceuticals promote the transmission of multidrug resistance plasmids through intra- and intergenera conjugation" nature.com/articles/s4139…. Looks interesting!

In #kerrlab meeting tomorrow we are discussing "Adaptive benefits from small mutation supplies in an antibiotic resistance enzyme" pnas.org/content/114/48… Should be a good discussion

#kerrlab meeting paper this week “STEM faculty who believe that ability is fixed have larger racial achievement gaps and inspire less student motivation in their classes” advances.sciencemag.org/content/5/2/ea… from Elizabeth A. Canning, Katherine Muenks, @drdorainnegreen & Mary C. Murphy

Thanks to my kind, funny, and brilliant #kerrlab mates for being so willing to put their face into a Petri dish with jello on Zoom! The tradition continues! @livkosterlitz was victorious this year (though sadly @RS_McGee's jello melted in the mail).

'Tis just about time #kerrlab members! Agar agar Petri dish jello shots await you! This Zoom challenge will be for the history books (or at least, if you win, you control the jello cookbook)

In #kerrlab meeting on Friday, we had a really interesting & thought-provoking conversation on Indigenous methodology & scientific exclusion of Native Americans in science & research. "Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples"

After 3 great #Kerrlab meeting presentations, @livkosterlitz & @evokerr shared their work "An adaptation of the Luria-Delbrück fluctuation analysis reveals plasmid-host co-evolution increases plasmid transfer rate" at @BEACON_Center
