Being an Assistant Professor in Biology at McMaster means I get to do what I love most - ask cool questions and work with a team to answer them. Science is fun!

I'm sorry to say that my brother, Jonathon Doyle, passed away this past Tuesday. We've set up a Children's Aid Foundation "Dare to Dream" bursary in his name. He will be sorely missed.

@Emily_S_Choy This is gorgeous!!

A huge undertaking with a big pay-off. The results from this paper made me rethink our current approaches to solving the "rhizobia competition problem" in agriculture, which I wrote about (with help from two amazing undergrads!) in this @CurrentBiology Dispatch Article #Microbes

[joel sachs @SachsLab]

How does interstrain competition among microbes affect their services to hosts? Experimental work out today by @ac_arafat shows the marked costs to symbiosis. Check it out here: https://t.co/49pbNlHKU1

Calling all microbiologists at #BEEPEG2023! 🔬 The Canadian Journal of #Microbiology is curating an interdisciplinary collection on microbial #ecology & #evolution, providing the opportunity for diverse researchers to connect, network, and collaborate. 🔗https://t.co/w418w4ty2f

Honoured to kick off the Microbial ecology and evolution symposium this morning! Had such a fantastic time chatting with fellow microbe lovers. Thanks @LeaGrie @acgerstein for organizing this awesome symposium! #BEEPEG2023

[Rebecca Batstone-Doyle @SyM3Lab]

@j_kosmopoulos I like the sound of that better than what it's currently known as: culture-independent methods for assessing microbial diversity.

We are recruiting a #MSc or #PhD student to join us @queensu in 2024, to work on bacterial (rhizobium) genomics & ecology. A chance to learn both wet-lab and dry-lab methods. See the attached image or https://t.co/8wbox7hEzn for details and how to apply. #AcademicTwitter

[George C diCenzo @George_diCenzo]

We have 3 funded #postdoc positions in our team at @queensu! Positions span wet-lab microbiology, dry-lab genomics, and synthetic biology, in agricultural microbiology and green biotech. See the attached images or https://t.co/8wbox7hEzn for details and how to apply.#postdocjobs

I’m really excited to share this preprint which is the result of my very first project discussion with @JohnStinchcombe and @ME_Frederickson at the start of my PhD! A thread on latitudinal diversity gradients in symbiotic microbial communities. https://t.co/BO0rwoknWn

Dear colleagues- Do you plan to #SupportOurScience on Monday? The constant worry over finances is hurting out students, driving some to leave academia, and reducing access.

We did a thing!! 🎉 Out now @ISMEJournal - A tale of "slimy" and "stabby" bacteria, of modelling (@willpjsmith) and experiments, and a case study on outreach as a powerful catalyst for scientific research. Summary thread 🧵 below! https://t.co/XVTBDbmLcX 1/n

Excited for our department @bio_mcmaster and the @MacBGSS to be hosting Dr. @CarinaCarlaKern this week! #evolution #genetics #ageing

[MIRA McMaster @MIRAMcMaster]

Join the Biology Department @McMasterScience for a seminar by visiting Research Fellow @CarinaCarlaKern of @IHAatUCL, whose research focuses on the genetics, evolution, and neuroscience of aging and disease.
