Out this morning! Where we argue the need for genus-level model systems in fungi and why Suillus should be one of them, provide a primer on the genus, and how the International Suillus Consortium is addressing grand challenges to system development. doi.org/10.1111/nph.19700

We have a new paper out on the ecological basis of hybrid incompatibilities! We argue, via literature review, two meta-analyses, and simulations that epistatic incompatibilities might underlie much of what is known as 'extrinsic' post-zygotic isolation cshperspectives.cshlp.org/co… 1/n

The antidote to government by a powerful few is government by the organized, energized many. This National Voter Registration Day, make sure you're registered, vote early if you can, or show up on November 6. This moment is too important to sit out.

Eluid Kipchoge just ran the fastest marathon of all time.
2:01:39 (4:38 pace)
1 minute, 17 seconds, ahead of the previous world record.
That's an average of 14:24 per 5k.
