*High-school level summary article*
Wrote a piece describing our recent paper @paulturnerlab.bsky.social to a high-school educated audience. #phagesky #microsky

Reach out if you want to do the same for your recent paper. It's super fun!

Our latest preprint just dropped @paulturnerlab.bsky.social

We evolved bacteria on swim plates, against a phage that attacks through the flagellum. Motility trades off AND trades up(!!) with phage-resistance!

New tool offers insights into virus-cell interactions A method developed by Yale scientists helps reveal how antibacterial agents interact with their host cells β€” a process that could boost a host of applications that benefitΒ society.

The UCSB KITP QBio course on mobile elements was amazing 🩡 With excellent projects led by @paulturnerlab.bsky.social, Roberto Kolter, Joanne Emerson, Richard Neher, @erikvannimwegen.bsky.social, Ben Good (+ me). Course began with a wetlab bootcamp, Dallas Mould demonstrating the first experiments..
