- Reposted by Ramya GanesanAnnouncing our next #NSFfunded workshop on "Telling Stories Through Data", co-lead by myself + @vgwschutte.bsky.social! It’s half bioinformatics data viz & half #SciComm - this year’s focus is host-associated microbiome datasets. Apply here to join us (form closes 1/10) bit.ly/TSTD2026 #symbiosky
- Reposted by Ramya GanesanHow host and symbiont cells interface in intimately symbiotic associations is still poorly undersood. @annazaidmanremy.bsky.social and her team @inrae-umr-bf2i.bsky.social identifed now a complex network of membraneous tubules containing carbohydrates presumably feeding Sodalis symbionts of weevils!

- FISH images of microbial cells in host organs/ tissues sometimes remind me of Van Gogh's starry night. Am I the only one? No? Yes? Maybe? Anyways, I just wanted to recreate it ;) #microbiomesky #microbiome #art

- Reposted by Ramya GanesanHi! Florence Hommais, @nicolasparisot.bsky.social , and I are looking for a postdoctoral candidate to investigate the molecular dialogue between three weevil species and their endosymbiotic bacteria #symbiosis!

- Hi! I'm restarting my project to cartoon and post about cool animal - microbe symbioses. First up, Burkholderia bacteria, the symbiotic "superheroes" of Lagria beetles. I did my PhD work on identifying mechanisms that help this ectosymbiont establish in the host :) #SymbioSky
