An interesting project in a leading lab in a cool place. what more can you ask for?! #academicjobs
!JOB ALERT! - POSTDOC - position in the Evolutionary Phytopathology Research group of @FungusCrous and the Fungal Natural Products group of @JCollemare vacatures.knaw.nl/job-invite…
Excited to have had the opportunity to talk with @NatGeo about the spread of the #deathcap #mushroom ☠️🍄

Check out our new manuscript in @NAR_open that explores the evolution of a new class of #fungal secondary metabolite gene cluster. You can even look for your favorite species on our webpage: isocyanides.fungi.wisc.edu/i…
📢 Exciting news! 🎉 My FIRST, first-author research paper is now available in @NAR_Open! 📚

#Invasive plants and animals get all the limelight. But a deadly #mushroom is spreading east after being introduced to the US west coast. Our work opens the opportunity to explore why.

What makes the 🍄☠️death cap☠️🍄 so deadly?
Our paper @ISMEjournal explores the #toxin gene family of #Amanita phalloides showing differences between mushrooms, #invasive and native ranges, and revealing ancient origins

#Mushroom 'hunting' in #Ukraine represents a recapturing of some normalcy despite stark reminders of how far from normal things are.

If your 'format-neutral' submission portal has word/character count limits, rigid figure upload options, or requires specific section headers, I think you're missing the point 🤔
#ScientificWriting #publishing
📢I'm excited to announce that my lab is looking to hire a #postdoc to explore the evolution of fungal pathogenesis in cereal crops through the use of both in-vitro experimentation and bioinformatics.

We took a deep dive into some fungal genomes and found Starships, a new family of giant mobile elements carrying host genes and 100s of kb 👜🧬 We learned a bunch (👇🧵) and can't wait to keep exploring 🚀🍄✨🔍 kudos to @Hulk_Vogan Horacio L-N @fungolution and the whole team
The final version of the Starship paper is out! academic.oup.com/mbe/article… Filamentous #fungi harbour massive mobile elements that move genes within and among species. These shape the evolution and adaptation of fungi, and contribute to traits like pathogenicity or metal resistance.
ALT Illustrations of various Starship elements from a wide diversity of filamentous fungi. Conserved cargo genes are highlighted.

How does #superbug #Candida auris compete with C. glabrata in a hospital 🏥 environment?
Our publication in @JoF_MDPI shows common disinfectants can change the balance and contribute to #antimicrobialresistance

The #fungi are under attack! 🍄🐛
How do organisms that are unable run away flailing their hands protect against #insects?
A new insight article by @MTDrott in @eLife examines how fungi defend themselves at different life stages
