Teddy and Xin Zhi attend the Mycological Society of America (MSA) meeting in Canada.
June 25th, 2024
Teddy and Xin Zhi attended this year's MSA meeting in Markham, ONT, Canada! The meeting was amazing as usual and it was Xin Zhi's first MSA meeting. For Teddy, it was good seeing some old friends and familiar faces, and so many new faces.
Xin Zhi delivered a great talk at the annual MSA 2024 meeting in Ontario, Canada. The title of her talk was "Reconstructing the evolutionary history of host preference in Rhizoctonia solani unveils a shift to specialism in one of its subpopulations". Congratulations, Xin Zhi!! .
Teddy contributed to a manuscript with researchers at the University at Albany. The paper is titled "Evolutionary dynamics of the accessory genomes of Staphylococcus aureus" and explores how the accessory genome content among phylogenetic lineages of S. aureus is structured and has evolved.
New graduate student: Xin Zhi Khoo! Xin just joined the Fungal Ecology Lab to work on the ecology of Rhizoctonia spp. found in Nebraska. Welcome Xin Zhi!.
