Very pleased to finally share our review on the need for surveillance to cross sectors to tackle infectious disease and antimicrobial resistance 🦠💊These are dual crises we currently face across the One Health landscape. https://t.co/KxCoYMbnd7

It looks like I never posted anything (*but see below) on what are probably the most surprising results my lab obtained so far. Anyway, this work—led by an outstanding former PhD student Sarah Ardell in collaboration with @_miloj—is now published:

Can evolutionary processes alter tipping points and protect ecological communites from collapse? Christopher Blake et al found adaptation of key species can shift tipping points - promoting ecological stability or accelerating collapse. https://t.co/Oc6hxSpBQO @MikeJayMcD

Happy to share our latest manuscript we we study evolutionary rescue in a bacterial mutualism:

Reversion to metabolic autonomy underpins evolutionary rescue of a bacterial obligate mutualism https://t.co/cNsrScq3xM

Work led by @Ignamelero in collaboration with @EvolSys

1/7 Excited to share our new preprint! @JFriedman_micro @EvolSys We explored evolutionary rescue in microbial communities, focusing on how obligate mutualisms respond to environmental changes. #MicrobialEcology #EvolutionaryBiology

[Arlin @ArlinStoltzfus]

I’m starting a special interest group with monthly seminars + discussion focused on the role of mut in evo, covering #evobio #popgen #histsci #philsci

Upcoming speakers: @PeterALind @DeepaAgashe @Grey_Monroe, Rose Novick, Alex Klug

How stable are bacterial genomes as they adapt to an environment? My collaboration with @anuraglimdi, @EvolSys, @RELenski, and @ten_olivier exploring this over 50,000 generations of evolution is out today!

Awesome new paper from my current supervisor @EvolSys published in Science today!

Alejandro Couce has used a recent massive genetic engineering technology 🔬

"This technology allows exploring the effect, whether good or bad, of all possible mutations along the >4,000 genes of the bacterial genome," adds @EvolSys.

[CBGP @CBGP_Madrid]

Congrats to Alex Couce @EvolSys group at @CBGP_Madrid, a joint institute @La_UPM and @INIA_es, for your excellent article published today at @ScienceMagazine , you can read it here https://t.co/08LwCHhtKK

[CBGP @CBGP_Madrid]

Is evolution predictable ⁉️

"Answering this question has profound implications, the greatest being about the predictability of evolution," explains @EvolSys, who heads a lab that studies evolutionary genetics now at UPM.
