My lab is hiring two(!) postdocs interested in (1) building trait prediction models capable of resolving complex microbial traits from genomes and metagenomes, and/or (2) building mathematical models of microbial
community dynamics

Alright now that I’m home I guess it’s time to officially announce some really good news:

I have received an NIH R35 MIRA!! This award will fund five years of research in my group using Aiptasia to study context dependency and GxGxE interactions in animal-microbe symbioses!

After a searing ocean heat wave in 2023, two of the most historically important coral species in Florida are functionally extinct from the state’s reef, scientists have found.
Staghorn and Elkhorn Coral Are Functionally Extinct Off Florida, Researchers Say
Elkhorn and staghorn coral are now functionally extinct around the state, researchers say, meaning they no longer play any significant role in their ecosystem.

Florida elkhorn corals need active genetic help to handle climate change, they cannot do it on their own. The risk is far less than the risk of doing nothing. 🌏🧪https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14920439 @coralconsortium.bsky.social
Safeguarding Florida's Coral Reefs: The Urgency of Assisted Gene Flow for Elkhorn Coral Conservation
The devastating 2023 heatwave is the latest in a series of disasters that has decimated the Florida population of elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata) to a critically low level, pushing this species to a ...
