Very happy to have contributed to this great piece! Please check the thread by @hernanaburbano . Great job @BackmanTalia , T. Karasov and rest of the team.
Our new collaborative work in @ScienceMagazine led by @BackmanTalia between my lab @uclbiosciences @CloeFor @MPI_Bio @UCLLifeSciences & the Karasov Lab @UofUBiology (tkarasovlab.org) tinyurl.com/y85b2xn9
Thanks for having me at #pint25 Great discussing #evolution and #pandemics with such a wonderful audience @pintofscience @ucl @CloeFor @uclbiosciences
How Rice Blast Fungus stays one step ahead? I'll talk about the evolutionary dynamics of its pangenome. Whether you're into evolutionary insights, curious about methods, or just love a good fungal story, swing by my poster: * P-280 * Tuesday, 9:55-11 :30 #2025ISMPMI
I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be joining @ZMBP_Tuebingen as a Junior Group Leader in October 2025! My lab will explore the functional and structural diversity of plant immune receptors. 1/2 #NewPI #PlantImmunity #NLRs #PlantScience #StructuralBiology
From lesions to lessons: 2025 marks the 20th anniversary of filamentous plant pathogen genomics. In our new review, we present lessons we learned over the past 2 decades and discuss the future of plant pathogen genomics. Take a first look! apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/epdf/10.10…
Welcome to Rafal Gutaker @rgutaker who has joined our Editorial Board as an Editorial Advisor. We are very pleased to have him join our team! Rafal studies population genomics, ancient DNA, and crop adaptation and environmental interaction. sites.google.com/view/rafalplan…

The final version of our Fusarium review is now online! First time contributing to composite review figures—huge thanks to @RedkarAmey and all the co-authors for this opportunity! Also big thanks to the AR illustration team for polishing our submission 😊 annualreviews.org/content/journa…
The 2nd part of this podcast has a really great description of our most recent paper! Great job on the podcast and thanks for sharing @profvrr
TWiM describes experiments to explore gut microbiota signatures of vulnerability to food addiction in mice & humans, and how a phage tail-like protein suppresses competitors in populations of bacteria of plants. 📺 bit.ly/3T5RQaF
