Trying to understand living systems, including: microbes, ecology, data/ML/AI, host-microbiome-immune, and everything else. Senior lecturer @HebrewU
Excellent review, summarizing a lot of the difficulties encountered and a lot of the techniques used.
Happy to share our new review paper, on computational tools and approaches for host-microbiome data integration 👇

What is the *problem* your paper *addresses*. Assume that nobody wants to read your work, but they might *have to* because it will help them with their problem. So simple. So important.

Excited to share some new work led by John McEnany. We generalize random matrix approaches from community assembly theory to predict how the fitness benefits & fates of new mutations should scale with the diversity & metabolic overlap of their surrounding community. We'd love to hear your comments!

We tackle a simple question - How much of species evolution depends on the presence of other species?
Bottom line: Most evolutionary changes were robust across strains that evolved with different biotic partners 1/

Beautiful paper. Communicates well with the notion of "Microbial Cartels".

More diverse microbiome communities provide protection against infection, but how?
New paper in Science shows this is achieved by nutrient blocking -- diverse communities will consume all the nutrients an incoming pathogen needs to colonize

It is now official: November was the warmest November on record by a wide margin in the JRA-55 dataset, beating the prior record set in 2020 by 0.3C.
November 2023 was 1.6C above preindustrial levels, and the year-to-date temperatures are 1.4C above preindustrial.

Fantastic talk, very timely with the current "woke" onslaught on Israel.

My public lecture at the Queensland University of Technology last week.
An enormous thanks to AusHSI, QUT, and AIMOS for making this trip possible. I'm flying home in a few hours, and so grateful to have made this trip.

One of LeGuin's finest and that's saying a lot.
I forgot to mention Ursula LeGuin’s most extraordinary story, “The ones who walk away from Omelas”…
