Having a good time at #FEMS2025

Speaking later today at #FEMS2025 in the "Microbial dynamics in a changing world" symposium.

It was really nice!

I am also going alone this year! Always happy to meet more Bacteriophage people! I will be in Milan tommorrow.

Looking forward to #FEMS2025! I am heading to Milan tomorrow to give a short talk and a poster.

Tissue-like multicellular development triggered by mechanical compression in archaea The advent of clonal multicellularity is a critical evolutionary milestone, seen often in eukaryotes, rarely in bacteria, and only once in archaea. We show that uniaxial compression induces clonal mul...

Striking new study from @archaeon-alex.bsky.social's lab just out in @science.org on multicellular development induced by compression in Archaea: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Happy Birthday!!! I would listen to this on repeat whenever things are difficult. Wishing you the best!

Does anyone have suggestions on a UV Transilluminator for gel imaging?? We are in the market for one and apparently there are so so many to choose from. #gelimaging #gelectrophoresis #science #pcr

This looks really cool! Another banger from Andrew Millard. I am excited to try this out later!

With all of the uncertainty in the US regarding NIH funds. I wanted to share that the NIH MHRT program allowed me to do an internship abroad and is directly responsible for me being where I am today. It allowed me to connect with European research institutions, get my masters and my PhD here.

U.S. early-career researchers struggling amid chaos Uncertain funding, government firings, and distressed universities hit vulnerable groups especially hard

This hurts new and early career investigators (like me) the hardest. Most of us finished our postdocs & started our labs during the COVID-19 pandemic with shutdowns and supply issues at that time. Now we’re being hit with ::all of this::

My fiancé got me an amazing valentine's day gift. Now I get to add an E. coli and T4 phage to my collection.

Happy Valentine's Day! If you know me, you know I love to put comics at the end of my presentations. Here is one such comic done by The Amoeba Sisters for Valentine's Day.

Hey Alex! That's really awesome! Do your P22 like virus(es) also infect Salmonella Typhimurium?

⚠️This is not your average preprint on antibiotic resistance. This preprint is a really interesting story from several researchers of my former lab about human gut-microbiota and one potential way AMR resistance is maintained. ☠️

I was super happy to see this come out after hearing about this project during the MEEHubs conference in 2024. Congratulations to everyone who worked on this!

Diverse phage communities are maintained stably on a clonal bacterial host Bacteriophages are the most abundant and phylogenetically diverse biological entities on Earth, yet the ecological mechanisms that sustain this extraordinary diversity remain unclear. In this study, w...

Is it “winner-takes all” when the simplest living things compete? Check out my fresh publication on phage coexistence in Science and a thread below🧵 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I have finally decided to switch from X (which I rarely used) to BlueSky (which I look forward to rarely using).

Two amazing jobs at Uni Bern. Assistent professorships in conservation biology and computational ecology. Bern is a wonderful place to live and work in!
