OK folks, I want to share with you my best homebrew use case for LLMs in teaching. Here, I’ll show you how to make detailed, textbook-style notes for your students based on a transcript of your lecture and your PowerPoint. I’ve done this for the last 2 semesters and the students love it. 1/16

Beetles are masters at coopting microbial genes, enzymes & metabolites.
Together w/ Marleny García-Lozano, we review how microbes shaped one of the most successful animal radiations, through horizontal gene transfer & symbiosis:

Social amoebas prey on bacteria but individuals can also host bacterial symbionts. What contributes to patterns of facultative symbionts & what happens when hosts enter the social life cycle stage?
