Ants that farm fungus to eat must weed out pathogenic fungi that contaminate their food supply. A study shows that a class of metabolites called peptaibols produced by the unwanted fungus Trichoderma induces an ant-weeding response. In PNAS: ow.ly/5Sa450OUOAm

Congratulations to all authors on this incredibly interesting 🐜study out now in @PNASNews that includes work from members of the @KlassenLab & @BalunasLab! COR²E is proud to have supported this research via sequencing in @UConnMars and mass spectrometry in @UConnProteomics. 👏
Did you know ants are avid gardeners? In a new @PNASNews report, UConn environmental microbiologist and collaborators explain how these tiny creatures have refined their weeding skills to distinguish the good garden fungus from the bad. today.uconn.edu/2023/06/rese…

Ever sen a hungry leech? Hirudo verbana being fed by @AngelineCasale and the Graf lab team. Check out the pretty pigmentation. Don’t see that when they are out of the water.

Folks who have worked in bars, I need your expertise.
We are cooking up a project that will involve delivering information on those disposable bar coasters.
HOW MANY disposable coasters did your bar go through a night? What kind of bar did you work at?
