Thank you!! 🥹 I’m coming to UBC to postdoc!! 🥹🥹

Thank you!! 🥹

We're excited to share with everyone a preprint of our manuscript that resolves the cellular origins of the symbiosome in cnidarian-algal symbiosis through proteomics of the symbiosome, RNAi, and CRISPR/Cas9 experiments. ⬇️

thank you!! 🥹

ahhhhh very delayed because I crashed after the defense and didn't check social media! thank you @emmascales.bsky.social and @markjmandel.bsky.social !!! 🥹

Aiptasia oral regeneration is host-controlled but supported by symbiont-derived photosynthates - Symbiosis The study of oral regeneration in the sea anemone Exaiptasia diaphana (commonly called Aiptasia) - a prominent model for the study of coral-algal symbiosis - offers the unique opportunity to investiga...

First publication with lpita.bsky.social looking at Aiptaisia oral regeneration!

Euprymna berryi as a comparative model host for Vibrio fischeri light organ symbiosis | Applied and Environmental Microbiology Microbiome studies have been substantially advanced by model systems that enable functional interrogation of the roles of the partners and the molecular communication between those partners. The Euprymna scolopes-Vibrio fischeri system has contributed ...

New paper comparing the light organ symbiosis in the hummingbird bobtail squid to the infamous Hawaiian bobtail squid.

Congrats to @markjmandel.bsky.social and crew, and thanks for letting me take some light organ images for the pub!

Excited to share our first paper on the symbiosis between chlamydiae and social amoebae showing in detail the adaptations of endosymbionts to the social life style of their host! 🎉

after coming home from animal-microbe symbiosis GRC (the most wonderful first grc experience🥹), I’ve officially turned into a bug photographer 😅 here is a nice assassin bug (Zelus sp?) from peach picking in Brentwood 🥹🥹 #bugphotos
