Incredibly proud to share this work, almost 6 years in the making, out this month in Science!!! 🎇

We've known for over a century that eukaryotes of all kinds anticipate the seasons (think: hibernation, flowering, reproduction!), but what about bacteria?🦠

Hallo artist community, this one is for you! Together with @hanse-ias.bsky.social we are looking for an artist in residence in early 2026. Please share!

Very excited to have our first #singlecell data paper out in the world. Dr. Valadez Ingersoll worked so hard on this piece and we learned so much about #coral #symbiosis!

PML's Professor Tim Smyth and Dr Thomas Davies of the University of Plymouth hit the headlines with their new paper revealing a 21% reduction in sunlight zones vital for life in the sea: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

📢 NEW GENOME ALERT in #G3journal

@ibaums.bsky.social and the team generated a chromosome-scale genome assembly of the facultatively symbiotic, temperate coral Astrangia poculata and compared genomic architecture with tropical coral Acropora millepora. 🪸

New warbler paper /w Anna María Calderón & Zachary Szpiech. Kirtland's warblers were ESA delisted in part because of 👍 management. What wasn't known at the time—and we show here—is that they have a striking footprint of inbreeding in their DNA🦉

New paper out in GCB Today! We leveraged a system of typical (“classic”) and high-temperature “extreme” reef sites in Chelbacheb (Palau) to study the diversity in symbiotic partners, holobiont traits, and thermal tolerance among cryptic lineages of massive Porites.

Superexciting research by @ibaums.bsky.social including our researchers @nicoledubilier.bsky.social & Harald Gruber-Vodicka @maxplanck.bsky.social
