Very excited to share our new preprint, led by Alyssa Henderson! We ask why auxotrophy is so widespread in bacteria, and find that phylogeny is the dominant predictor of autotrophy, as opposed to environmental context. Check it out! 👇
Wonder how this will affect movement of ECRs. If an institution can only put one candidate forward, would they prioritise current postdocs or incoming ones. Might there be any consideration of how long each postdoc has left on their contract or other factors. Stressful.
I am seeking postdoc opportunities in insect–microbiome interactions, ecology & evolutionary biology. Research: aphid–plant–microbiome dynamics, 16S rDNA sequencing & ecological genomics. Open to international relocation. PIs/collaborators, let’s connect. #Postdoc #aphid #Microbiome
Although I’m looking forward to going back to work next month, I’ll definitely miss the midweek coffee trips.
