Excited to have our review on viral cooperation and cheating out this morning @NatureComms

We find that both cooperation and cheating are particularly common in viruses, offering many opportunities for evolution & virology

Hello! My name is Phoebe Griffith @crocodiledunphd, and I am a PhD student in the Oxford Biology Department studying crocodylian conservation. Today I’ll be taking over this account to tell you a bit more about my research and being an Oxford PhD student!

Do you study interactions between viruses? Join us next year in Oxford for the first meeting dedicated to social evolution in viruses.

"The Social Lives of Viruses" will be small, intimate, and open to all. For more info, and to sign up: https://t.co/S0K7J1Ai0N #sociovirology

Does horizontal gene transfer favor cooperation in bacteria? Short answer - no. Longer answer - see https://t.co/0oV6bmO5VD @AnnaEDewar @joshthomas1997 @GhoulMelanie @AshleighGriffi6 @geoffwild

[Anna Dewar @AnnaEDewar]

My first paper has been published today in @NatureEcoEvo! We used comparative genomics and theory to test whether horizontal gene transfer via plasmids could stabilise cooperation in bacteria. https://t.co/a4gcTuYupq (1/5)

Our 3-year postdoc @OxfordBiology on evolution in wild bacteria communities is still open. A mix of experimental evolution and metagenomics to look at coevolution in tree-holes @WythamWoods. With @kaylacking and @Silwood_Park More info here:

Very grateful to have won a ‘Most promising science’ prize for my poster at #Microbio21! 🧬 Thanks to everyone who ‘visited’ my poster, and for making the conference so enjoyable. @MicrobioSoc @Ox_DTP https://t.co/2k20fPRdBu

When it comes to social networks; it’s not “who you are”, it’s “where you are”! 🦌
New @Ecology_Letters paper disentangles the underpinnings of individuals' social metrics data using @RumDeerResearch's long-term data & @gfalbery's fancy INLA models

Incredible talk by Professor Marian Dawkins from @UniofOxford @Zoo_JRC today from 14:00 on “Using flock behaviours to predict welfare and disease in broiler chickens” send us a messegee for the meeting link🐓 #poultry #welfare #disease #flock #broiler

[Anna Dewar @AnnaEDewar]

Very excited that my first paper is available as a preprint! We found that, across 51 bacterial species, plasmids were not more likely to carry genes for extracellular proteins, which often act as cooperative ’public goods’. (1/3) https://t.co/j7GObId3jL
