For those who don't know, the GRS is a mmini-meeting for graduate students and postdocs working in microbial population biology.

At this meeting we will build our professional networks, share our research, and hear from our amazing keynote speaker, @bkoskella!

[Noah Houpt @NoahHoupt]

*PLEASE RE-POST*

Applications for the trainee-focussed GRS immediately preceding this meeting are also now open!

We will begin accepting applicants on *Jan 15th, 2027*.

We will expedite our review for applicants requiring Visas, so please submit ASAP.

Happy to share the preprint of our upcoming paper in the 13th edition of the Annual Review of Virology. In this paper, we take an interdisciplinary approach to explore how #phage therapy can increase healthcare equity around the globe. 🌏🏥 https://t.co/wZMbQLpmYH

.. phage resistance evolution and GxE interactions..

[Honour McCann @HonourMcCann]

The @KITP_UCSB QBio course on mobile elements was amazing 🩵 With excellent projects led by @PaulTurnerLab, Roberto Kolter, @jemersonmicro, @richardneher, @NimwegenLab, @benjaminhgood (+ me). Course began with a wetlab bootcamp, Dallas Mould demonstrating the first experiments..

[Phage Directory @phagedirectory]

.@AntaniJo (@Yale) etal developed a microscopy-based technique to measure #phage attachment to bacterial cells. This method provides an alternative to the century-old Phage Adsorption Assay. Feel free to reach out with any questions: [email protected].

[Jyot Antani @AntaniJo]

Finally, the preprint on my postdoc work from the past 3 years! With mentorship from @PaulTurnerLab and @EmonetLab, I developed a microscopic technique to measure attachment of viruses #phages to bacterial cells @YalePhage @QbioYale .
