We have 3 postdocs opening up soon. 1 do with arid land soil restoration using biocrusts, and 2 on microbial interactions in biocrusts and the rhizosphere. If interested, or intrigued, contact me directly. Or apply here: apply.interfolio.com/102338 apply.interfolio.com/104275

Just out.. on how to use "cyanobacterial probiotics" in ecological restoration of arid soils. So excited about this advance to get us closer to the goal! @ASMicrobiology @cyanofriend journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…

Excited to share this video where phages i.e, virus that kill bacteria, are transported by a baterial swarm. Phages are in green, swarming bacteria are in gray. Want to learn how phage tranport improves the rate of disruption of a biofilm? Check out our new preprint (1/n)

1/ "Cajón de Sastre" or "Taylor's drawer" is a metaphor used to designate a big mess. Now out as preprint, a monumental effort to tidy up the taxonomic mess of filamentous cyanobacteria in soils crusts by Vanessa, Ana and Daniel, our forever heroes. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
.@ASU's Arvind Varsani calls himself a “nomadic 'viral' scientist,” both in person and on Twitter (@Varsani_lab). He also calls himself an adventurer, and with good reason. To date, he has pursued research of all kinds on all seven continents.

Corey is getting ready for the finish line! You are invited to hear about cyanos with a taste for umami and about biocrust probiotics.
