Yonatan Grad@yhgrad.bsky.social · 2y agoNew preprint! How much does antibiotic use shape bacterial lineage dynamics, and how does that relate to the fitness costs/benefits of resistance determinants? All sorts of fun findings and a method that we hope will be broadly useful. See @dhelekal.bsky.social's thread and the preprint!
We are extending the deadline to Feb 27, since we still have a few slots. 👉 A semi-informal event to interact with your peers, learn about cutting-edge research, and hear from two leaders in the field (Sophie Armitage & Dieter Ebert). And it's free! 🎉 PIs, please recommend to your grad students!
