🔬 Excited to announce A/Prof. Breck (Duerkop Lab) as our invited speaker for the Virus-Host Interactions Session! 🎤

Join us at #VoM2024 as he shares insights into phage-bacteria interactions and the future of phage therapies.

⭐️Final day for discounted rego! ⭐️

Exciting program and happy to see many young talents presenting! Looking forward to all the amazing science on #virusesofmicrobes

📢 Official #VoM2024 program is LIVE! 📢

Check out the exciting line-up of speakers here: vom2024.org/scientific-pro…

Guess what! @PhageDirectory has a podcast now??! Podovirus Episode 1 is live on Spotify (& we've also published it in blog form on Capsid & Tail). (Thanks Jan "yawn" 🥱🥲 for the last minute adorable cover art!)

Our first episode is an interview with Jeremy J Barr on what to expect at this year's ISVM 2024 July in Cairns, Australia! Everything from the Great Barrier Reef, to crocodile jet ski stories, to how they're making the conference friendly to early career scientists!

SO many thanks to Jeremy J Barr for being my first guest and helping keep this fun and experimental for the first episode. We'll see where it evolves from here!

New paper out this month by Cathy Hernandez (now at Yale with Paul Turner Lab ): onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…. The findings support the role of coevolution in maintaining diversity, with coevolved phages having more mutations and more congruence across populations than evolved phages…

Our next #VoM2024 invited speaker feature is...
⭐️Prof Debbie Lindell ⭐️

Providing an ecological perspective to the program with expertise in cyanobacteria and their phages and new methods to unpick these interactions!

Postdoc position opening for a super cool 😎project with Archana Anand as part of the Phage Foundry
