Next #ClubEvMed will be led by @ISEMPH Pres-Elect @PaulTurnerLab! He'll discuss phage therapy, exploiting evolutionary tradeoffs to reduce bacterial pathogenicity, and how to make these novel therapies standard-of-care. Join us Th 11/4 @ 1pm EDT/18:00 CET https://t.co/jjxC5HQtLK
"It was just a matter of time before we ran out of antibiotics.” As options dwindled, infectious disease physician @zhoushiweis connected with two surgeons, making a decision that saved a man's life and kept him from being permanently bedridden. https://t.co/gCBfYRlTdH
Excited to share our new "opinionated review," out today in @PLOSPathogens Bacterial evolution during human infection: Adapt and live or adapt and die https://t.co/yzPyht5IpN
Nearly *TWO* years ago I started a search for a lab manager that was derailed by COVID.
It's time to try again! I'm looking for a lab manager to help us get our microbial experiments up and running (again) and to help us do AwesomeShit™. Plz share!

Phd scholarships available to work on our Marsden-funded project on cooperation & conflict in Dictyostelium (social amoeba). NZ/AUS applicants preferred b/c of closed borders. Preference for students with background in evolution and behavior, interested in working with microbes.
#ClubEvMed next week will be led by Robert Woods @The_Woods_Lab! He'll be discussing the promise of and the difficulties in translating evolutionary theory into antimicrobial treatment decisions. Join the conversation Tuesday 2/23 at 12pm EST/18:00 CET https://t.co/xAfgllACxN
Next week Bob will be giving a talk entitled Does evolutionary biology have anything to say about how we should use antibiotics? as part of the Club EvMed virtual evolutionary medicine conversations @TriCEM_NC, https://t.co/6vIVgBvyz1
Excited to share this paper on effects of antibiotics on the gastrointestinal resistome in immunocompromised kids! Punchline: prophylactic antibiotics increase resistance to themselves, but *not* to other antibiotics. 🧵@StJudeResearch https://t.co/nF7fCPPqmp
We're hiring! Looking for a research assistant to work with us on phage microbiology and phage therapy research projects. Position is for 1 year, possibility of renewal for a 2nd. Please RT!

The 2021 Gordon Conference on Microbial Population Biology has been postponed to 2023, but don't despair! We're hoping to fill the gap with a 2022 conference or workshop series. Tell us your heart's desires here: https://t.co/yZoj9Flj0w, and please retweet widely.
