And finally, I am proud to be able to share the work of my dear student Gabriel Vercelli and a collaboration with my (also dear) MIT colleague Ariel Furst @afurst1. This technology can open new avenues for microbiome engineering. https://t.co/uu7915Lkn4

@RachelGregorPhD ... for example, it became clearer to me that the most likely mechanism of interactions is lysis + biomass recycling, rather than the idealized "metabolite sharing" picture one sees in network diagrams. How do we incorporate "death" into our models of microbial ecosystems? (2/2)

Colleges have fled standardized tests, on the theory that they hurt diversity. That’s not what the research shows.
