- Reposted by Julia M. BrownVery happy that our paper was published in Limnology & Oceanography #ASLO_LO Huge shoutout to my co-authors🫰 & big thanks to reviewers and editors! May the year keep up this energy 🙌 @microbialoceanv.bsky.social @aslo.org @davehambright.bsky.social aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
- Reposted by Julia M. Brown#microsky #phagesky #phage At last! Great to see this one out: journals.plos.org/plospathogen... Here, we discovered a nested phage-bacteria network despite their high genetic and ecological diversity. Kudos to everyone involved, especially @chloe-feltin.bsky.social ! @phimresearch.bsky.social

- Reposted by Julia M. BrownDo you love phage? I have an opening for a postdoc in my lab at the University of South Florida College of Marine Science (@cmarinescience.bsky.social) looking at interactions between marine phage and iron, which is an important limiting trace metal in the oceans (1/5) 🧵#phagesky 🦠🌊
