Happy to share the publication of my first PhD research article! 'Connecting models, networks, and experiments: Revisiting the role of viruses in marine carbon cycling' Out now in Limnology and Oceanography @aslo.org Full text: doi.org/10.1002/lno....

Bacteriophage continue to have so much to teach us. It's in our interest to understand how they work and impact human & environmental health. New joint work led by @mariandm.bsky.social & @rantahan.bsky.social inferring single-cell latent period & burst size heterogeneity from population dynamics.

Inferring single-cell heterogeneity of bacteriophage lysis-associated life-history traits from population-scale dynamics

Theory-guided experiments reveal single-cell heterogeneity of lysis-associated bacteriophage traits from population scale data.

Cold Surface Waters of the Sub‐Antarctic Pacific Ocean Support High Cyanophage Abundances and Infection Levels

Here, we investigated the abundance of cyanophages and the extent to which they infect Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus, important primary producers, in the cold, low-light, iron-limited, sub-Antarc...
