- New paper from our workshop funded by the Calleva Centre @magdalenoxford.bsky.social. We discuss how to minimise the risk of resistance evolution for new fungal control methods using RNA sprays - based on lessons from fungicide resistance studies and evolutionary genomics. doi.org/10.1016/j.fb...
- Co-organised by Joris Alkemade and @nicholahawkins.bsky.social, contributors include @melonamaranth.bsky.social, @dannagifford.bsky.social, @florianhartig.bsky.social, @gmpreston.bsky.social, @mfseidl.bsky.social, @pietrospanu.bsky.social and more
- Reposted by Tim BarracloughFungicide resistance is a big reason why we need alternative crop protection measures, but we must consider the risk of those other crop protection measures also selecting for resistance, especially for target-specific methods like RNAi.

Shian-Li has created a novel database for undergraduate students in Biology to share resources based on EDI-related content 👇 bit.ly/3IO46dx
- Reposted by Tim BarracloughVery proud of new DPhil, Simon Kershenbaum; here, messing with planarian (in cake-form). Co-supervised with Aziz Aboobakar. Big thanks to @timbarra.bsky.social and @jordisolana.bsky.social for all their hard work as examiners 🫶 Sorry to miss celebrations in person! 🥂 @biology.ox.ac.uk
- Bit of a crime scene @magdalenoxford.bsky.social tower today, but whodunnit? @biology.ox.ac.uk
- New paper out "Do the “big four” orders of insects comprise evolutionarily significant higher taxa with coherent patterns of selection on protein-coding genes?" ... well, do they?? @evolletters.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk academic.oup.com/evlett/advan...
- Reposted by Tim BarracloughGene transfer from a different fungus has led to outbreaks of coffee wilt disease 🍄 For the past century, outbreaks have severely impacted coffee production across sub-Saharan Africa New research with @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social & CABI 👇 bit.ly/4fVLuUV
