What is the best strategy to win any contest?

Eliminate your opponents of course.

Recently, my friend @fernpizza.bsky.social showed how plasmids compete intracellularly (check out his paper published in Science today!). With @baym.lol, we now know they can fight.

🦠 Do microbiomes have their own microbiomes? 🦠

Well... kind of. Much smaller than bacteria, there is a whole zoo of Darwinian entities that depend on microbial hosts. We could call these collectives "nanobiomes", and there's much to explore!

Are you interested in mutualisms? Have you always wondered how these cooperative interactions emerge and coevolve?

If the answer to these questions is YES, then please consider joining my vibrant group as a PhD student.
