Scoop: For nearly a year, NSF has struggled to make new grants. Now we know that it will not catch up. In fact, NSF will award just 6,100 new grants—a 30% y/o/y decline, itself down from a previous avg. of 11,000+. In fact, the last time NSF awarded so few grants was in the early '80s.

🧬 What if eukaryogenesis involved more than one major microbial partnership? New work by @tonigabaldon.bsky.social and colleagues reveals diverse gene ancestries behind LECA, pointing to multiple waves of gene transfer — and a potential role for giant viruses. #Eukaryotes #ProtistsOnSky

Toni Gabaldón@tonigabaldon.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Our paper "Gene ancestries reveal diverse microbial associations during eukaryogenesis.” is finally out in Nature. Eukaryogenesis was likely a gradual process shaped by multiple microbial partners and virus-mediated gene transfer, rather than a single binary symbiosis. doi.org/10.1038/s415...

One of ecology’s oldest questions - how does population growth change as density increases? - remains surprisingly contentious. In our new @plosbiology.org paper we contribute to the ongoing debate by applying the idea of “Growth-Density Inversion”: doi.org/10.1371/jour.... 1/6
