Super excited to share my postdoc work on Monday at #Evol2024! Come hear about the role of a prophage in the thermal eco evo of a strain I collected in the Long Island Sound 🔥🧫🌊.
Postdoc @_cathyhernandez (Mon, 10:15-10:30AM, 516E) will present her work showing how the thermal ecology and evolution of a marine bacterium is shaped by the temperature-dependence of an integrated phage 🌊.
