Joshua HollandThe press could tell an accurate story about how Biden's 50 yrs of legislative experience helped him pass huge infra & green energy bills through a 50-50 Senate that contributed to a robust recovery. The feedback loop of a million stories about his age leading to a million stories about polls showing that voters worry about his age was an editorial choice.

Evolutionary ecologist studying interactions among phages, microbiomes, and plants. Shares (own view) about science, teaching, gender issues. BLM. She/her.
We are hiring!!! Assistant Professor in Emerging Zoonoses - based in the departments of Integrative Biology & Public Health
https://aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF04076
We seek an interdisciplinary scientist working on the ecological, epidemiological and/or evolutionary drivers of human-relevant zoonotic infectious disease who develops and applies fundamental ecological and evolutionary approaches to meet the challenge of zoonotic diseases in human populations.
Come join us in the beautiful Bay Area!
Happy to be here at SMBE - giving a talk this afternoon but otherwise planning to just enjoy connecting with my molecular evolutionary roots : ) #SMBE2023
We are recruiting a lab technician to help run some exciting phage projects - if you know of anyone who might be interested, please share! https://aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF03960
Together, these data suggest the stability of the host in which microbiota grow across generations could have important impacts to how they assemble, specialize, and even evolve over a longer time scale. We hope the work spurs good conversation and a lot more work!
And those microbiomes that experienced the same plant host for six generations were incredibly good at assembling on that host (and more sensitive to the plant species upon which they subsequently arrived). They were also very good at resisting invasion by other microbiota.
We found that microbiomes that experienced different host species at each generation ended up becoming less specialized - they were less affected by the plant species upon which they were growing, even when experiencing an entirely novel host plant!
Can microbiomes become specialized on their host species? How might this be impacted by the stability of the hosts they encounter from generation to generation? These are hard questions to answer! But an epic feat by post doctoral researcher Kyle Meyer attempted to find out….
Participants will join a well-supported cohort of researchers, be supported by PIs and mentors with strong commitment to inclusive mentoring practices, and have ample opportunity for independent research!
[Please share!] Postbac research opportunity: Bay Area RaMP in Microbiome Sciences (https://sites.google.com/berkeley.edu/rampmicrobiomes/home) offers paid, full time research experience for the 2023/24 academic year for graduated or soon to graduate community college transfer students interested in microbiomes
