Great to see it out! Congrats @mmzdouc.bsky.social !
🎉 I'm thrilled to share that I’ll be joining the University of Arizona as an Assistant Professor starting January 2026!
I’ll be recruiting PhD students, lab technicians, and postdocs—so if you're interested in host-microbe interactions, I’d love to hear from you!

ICYMI: New online! Origin and function of beneficial bacterial symbioses in insects
Origin and function of beneficial bacterial symbioses in insects
Nature Reviews Microbiology, Published online: 27 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41579-025-01164-zIn this Review, Kaltenpoth et al. examine the evolution and function of beneficial symbioses between bacteria and their insect hosts, focusing on their effects on the host fitness and the microbial factors that play a role in the evolution of these symbiotic associations.

1/10 A 🧵of resources to learn about AlphaFold (2 and 3).
IMO, the best way to get started with AF2 is "AlphaFold. A practical guide" from the EMBL-EBI. It explains how AF2 works in plain English, without code, and covers key metrics like pLDDT/PAE/etc.

If you have single cell data with metadata, this approach could be very helpful for you… check it out!
Today, on #WomenInScience day, this paper on biomarker discovery for breast cancer, by my amazing student Zhenzhen, has just appeared in @cp-patterns.bsky.social
🎉 Her work shows how to construct fully interpretable biomarkers employing bi-level graph learning! @jhu.edu @hopkinsdsai.bsky.social
