Fascinating talk by Dr. Talia Karasov (University of Utah) on how plant pathogens weaponize phage-derived tailocins to wipe out bacterial rivals.
Microbes fighting microbes—nature’s own biotech.

On my way to Köln for #2025ISMPMI watching a beautiful sunset after Mannheim.

Looking forward to Monday!

I very much appreciate the point you are making. With fixed budgets, my experience is that maintaining some non-tenure positions often helps people make the jump to a tenured position.

We surely agree though that institutions need to do a lot more to support non-tenured academics on their path.

🔥Postdoc opportunity 🌱

The Legris lab at the University of Neuchâtel 🇨🇭 is looking for a Postdoc to work on the regulation of branching by warm temperatures. If you have a background on plant physiology and development, and you're interested in shoot thermomorphogenesis, apply now!

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

“… they will have the ability to consult legal rights if they have that…”

The first paper of my PhD is now available as a preprint! 🎉

Transposable elements (TEs) don't just jump within fungal genomes, they also move extensively between species. In this study, we screened over 1,300 fungal genomes and found a conservative estimate of 5,500+ horizontal transfer events.

Thrilled to share that I'll be starting my lab @uofguelph.bsky.social this September!

I'll be joining the Department of Food Science and I'm so excited to study yeast diversity in this context!

That’s so exciting!! Very happy for you.

Oded, our conveyor of painful truths...

But it's early morning here though, so I am chilling at this lake here for the moment.

Amazing to see @hannajohannesson.bsky.social on this list here! Big congratulations!

Very much looking forward to your discoveries!

Amazing, big congrats Joseph!

Happy Barbara Day, happy #TransposonDay2025 to all that celebrate! Every day we get to work on transposons is such a privilege and joy, and I will never not be amazed by these jumping weirdos -the neutral, the bad and the good. Share some black walnut brownies with your friends today!

After 15 years of research, we're excited to share that the causative agent of White-Nose Syndrome/Disease is actually two cryptic fungal species, each showing host specialisation. We've also traced the introduction to North America back to Podillia, Ukraine.

Amazing opportunity in an outstanding department! Could not recommend this place enough. Not least because of the amazing location. 🇨🇭🌊⛰️

New tenure track assistant professor position in molecular microbiology in our department @dmf-unil.bsky.social @unil.bsky.social! We are casting a wide net for an experimental molecular microbiologist. Apply here: wwwfbm.unil.ch/releve/appli...

Super interesting work!

Amazing talk this morning #efpp2025 by @tatsuyanobori.bsky.social on spatial multiomics in plant pathogen interaction!

Day 2 of #efpp2025 kicking off with Armin Djamei on gall formation in the Ustilago maydis / maize pathosystem

Our next speaker #efpp2025 is Antonio Di Pietro presenting a beautiful experimental evolution approach to track TE movement in Fusarium.

Daniel is looking for postdocs. Highly recommended if you're interested in plant pathogen evolution!

Next plenary speaker #efpp2025 is @danielcroll.bsky.social about the importance of geographic breadth and migration in plant pathogen evolution

Next up #efpp2025 is Sarah Gurr talking about challenges in food security caused by the global spread of plant pathogens

#EFPP Antonio di Pietro shares his insight on Fusarium oxysporum how flexible it is in its different hosts and how its adapting to them.

#EFPP Daniel Croll points out the fast decline of chemical control and host resistance

#EFPP Thorsten Langner presents past and future of pathogen genomics... starting with smut fungi😀
