Check out our newest paper using a large set of white band disease infected Acropora cervicornis collected in the field cross-referenced with a smaller transmission experiment to identify the putative pathogen causing the disease. enviromicro-journals.onlinel…

Identification of putative coral pathogens in endangered Caribbean staghorn coral using machine...

Using a combination of extensive field sampling, highly accurate ensemble machine learning and tank-based transmission experiments, we employ 16S rRNA gene surveys to identify two candidate pathoge...

Anyone have resources they can share for establishing mentor-mentee expectations for graduate students that are mentoring undergraduate students? Like expectations to ensure undergrads are having a safe, positive experience with their grad student mentors and vice versa.

Folks! Does anyone remember/have that meme of someone trying to make a stick stand in ocean waves and it said how taxonomists feel trying to delineate species lol or something?? I need it to continue my rant about species concepts being only kinda real in my evolution class lol

Take heed, Statistical Rethinkers - there are many code translations of the book examples and the new lecture examples into your favorite dialect of SnakeScript or CleanSpace or whatever hacker nonsense you like. I try to maintain an updated list: xcelab.net/rm/statistical-re…

Excited to share my first post-doc paper! We found that more disease resistant staghorn corals tend to have mutations in particular genes involved in the immune system! and its in Science!! science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
