We're excited to share with everyone a preprint of our manuscript that resolves the cellular origins of the symbiosome in cnidarian-algal symbiosis through proteomics of the symbiosome, RNAi, and CRISPR/Cas9 experiments. ⬇️

🪸 New paper alert 🧬
We developed a highly accurate diagnostic tool that classifies between two #coral diseases: white plague and stony coral tissue loss disease. This model accurately classified in situ collected diseased samples, supporting its use as a diagnostic tool.

🎉 Exciting news! The last manuscript from my dissertation was just published in Royal Society Open Science!
And in a fun twist of fate, the cover of this issue happens to feature a Caribbean coral colony 🪸 (not from our study, but still serendipitous nonetheless!)
Machine learning reveals distinct gene expression signatures across tissue states in stony coral tissue loss disease | Royal Society Open Science
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has rapidly degraded Caribbean reefs, compounding climate-related stressors and threatening ecosystem stability. Effective intervention requires understanding t...

🧵Censor, purge, defund - how Trump is following the authoritarian playbook on science & universities.

This isn't chaos - it's deliberate & well-established methods.

I've mapped 40 actions into 3 categories covering attacks on science, attacks on universities and international collaboration.
