I am working with ASM to re-launch the Central NY ASM Branch! 🧫🦠
We have funds allocated for us and now just need 25 signatures from ASM members in the geographic region in support of this branch.
More info is in the form and also I’ve attached a FAQ sheet.

#Bacteria use weapons to outcompete rivals, but what happens if they're transferred? @prokaryota.bsky.social @jdpal.bsky.social &co show that HGT of toxin #plasmids is rare but recipients can thrive under relaxed nutrient competition, reshaping bacterial warfare @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/43vC3X7

Scientists conducted the largest, most comprehensive analysis of butterfly total abundance (all individuals, across all species) in the U.S. and found huge declines. 🧪
People should be "very, very concerned," says study author Eliza Grames.

1 in 5 butterflies in the U.S. have disappeared in the last 20 years
Researchers identified over 100 species that have dropped by more than 50 percent in the last two decades: "This is a wake-up call."

I’m co-coordinating the Binghamton Biology Seminar series for the next year or so. If you’re in driving distance (sorry Hawaii) and a Prof, postdoc, or grad student interested in coming to give a seminar and have a fun day full of science conversations, send me a message! Tell your friends 😁

Is it “winner-takes all” when the simplest living things compete? Check out my fresh publication on phage coexistence in Science and a thread below🧵 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Diverse phage communities are maintained stably on a clonal bacterial host
Bacteriophages are the most abundant and phylogenetically diverse biological entities on Earth, yet the ecological mechanisms that sustain this extraordinary diversity remain unclear. In this study, w...
