The Kleiner lab is super excited to see the book “Unseen Jungle: The Microbes That Secretly Control Our World” by Dr. Eleanor Spicer Rice and Rob Wilson published this week. The book is one outcome of our collaborative, NSF-funded project on insect symbionts, which we have been working on with the labs of Dr. Martha (Molly) Hunter and Dr. Stephan Schmitz-Esser. A blog by the authors about the book can be found here and a short intro to the NSF project can be found here.
