Rhizosphere viruses - just how powerful are they in mediating microbial arsenic metabolism?
Rhizosphere viruses mediate arsenic (As) biogeochemistry by promoting lysogeny in As-oxidizing microbes. Metagenomics, metabolic modeling, and in vitro experiments estimate rhizosphere lysogenic viruses contribute to up to 25% of microbial As oxidation.
Unlocking the power of investigative biopsies in glioma
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a primary brain cancer with a devastating prognosis with limited treatment options. Stereotactic biopsies are performed routinely for histological and molecular diagnosis, but could they also be performed for detailed multi-omics investigation into the tumor microenvironment?

The geometry of social avoidance: navigating social interactions
An experiment using a "choose-your-own-adventure" social interaction game suggests that social avoidance can be viewed as behavioral navigation with an abstract social space. This approach may offer new ways to understand and treat social avoidance.
