Cool to see these two works out back to back in @CurrentBiology! Congratulations, @JJSanchezGil and @dejongepmi on the Pseudomonas, and the @Slebiomes group on the Pantoea and Streptomyces angle! 🎉🎉🎉

@microcallahan Thanks @microcallahan !!

In 2021, I gave a virtual talk at the IS-MPMI eSymposia on some brand new work out of our lab @Slebiomes. Listening in was another group from around the world who had stumbled down the same scientific rabbit-hole (@dejongepmi @JJSanchezGil). Fast forward a couple years...

An attempt to blend one of my amateur and professional hobbies - yarn art and science!

This experience was such a wonderful example of open, collaborative science. We had honest discussions, creative brainstorming sessions, and made each other's work better (as did our reviewers!!). 10/10 recommend working with the great folks at @utrechtpmi (hi everyone! 👋).
