Hi there! My lab studies 1) how bacteria evolve on response to Protozoa and 2) how we can use Phages to protect honeybees against American Foulbrood (AFB). I’m not a beekeeper but I was really excited to suit up this weekend and see an infected hive up close! In NZ AFB infected hives must be burnt!

Viruses use RNA decoys to thwart CRISPR defences

Bacteria and archaea are microorganisms that often use RNA-guided defences called CRISPR to destroy the genomes of viruses that infect them. It now emerges that viruses make RNAs that act as mimics to...

Thanks Phil :) was a nice surprise this year!

I have just downloaded this one. Thanks :)

oOooh, that sounds good. I haven’t started these but I love murderbot.
