@bkoskella.bsky.social did a TOUR DE FORCE talk about some of the big questions in symbiosis at the Yosemite Symbiosis Workshop. We all learned a lot and are feeling inspired. Thanks for your leadership Britt!
Had an amazing weekend in Yosemite for the symbiosis workshop organized by @sachslab.bsky.social and Carolin Frank! Fantastic talks, wonderful community and the prefect way to reconnect to the science that drives us!

We studied associations between Acmispon strigosus, an annual legume native to California, and its nitrogen-fixing symbionts in the genus Bradyrhizobium.
Host control by Acmispon strigosus constrains fitness gains of ineffective Bradyrhizobium symbionts in mixed infections
Abstract. Plant hosts can gain significant growth benefits from symbiosis with microbes, but these benefits could be threatened by divergent fitness intere

To maintain microbial mutualisms, hosts must reward beneficial microbes and punish cheaters. We show that sanctions of uncooperative rhizobia – are maintained irrespective of host or symbiont genotype
