Hi! My lab (khadlab.com) studies symbiosis and microbial ecology, particularly focused right now on honeypot ant microbiomes. I'd love to come up to UMaine, especially this upcoming fall.

We study novel symbioses that we aren’t always sure if they are good or bad for each partner (and is likely context dependent).
It may sound strange, but it’s kind of hard to tell sometimes when you first find them 🤷🏻♀️
We need the term symbiosis for that without lumping them in with mutualisms.
