Last chance to apply! Closing 4 Dec!

Today, we are lucky to have Imane El Meouche from IAME, France to give a MCM seminar @medicalsciencesncl.bsky.social (chaired by @henrikstrahl.bsky.social) on antibiotics tolerance in E. Coli

Theres still time to apply for our PhD project on UPEC/immune cell interactions. Deadline December 4th

Looking for a PhD opportunity in Microbiology? Consider joining one of the UK's leading microbiology research clusters at Newcastle University. See the thread for MRC DTP studentships currently advertised. @medicalsciencesncl.bsky.social @sagencl.bsky.social @cbcb-newcastle.bsky.social #microsky

Nicely done!

Wow this all sounds familiar. Amen to this!

If international law were applied evenly, I'm pretty sure Trump and several in his cabinet would be indicted by the ICC for war crimes for what they just did.

Here, we show that bacterial ribosomes—often viewed as conserved drug targets—actually vary across species due to extensive sequence variation in their drug-binding residues. In some cases, this divergence may lead to intrinsic drug resistance in certain bacterial clades: doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...

Won't be awake for Trump's birthday parade. Assume it will look something like this.

Looks super cool! I look forward to reading it (when I actually have time...😭).

How does your favorite species elongate? 🧵 "Phenotypic plasticity in bacterial elongation among closely related species". Happy to see this paper in print @natcomms.nature.com. Nice work by @mariedelaby.bsky.social, Liu Yang et al. See original 🧵, different colours, same data and conclusions.

Fellow bacterial cell biologists, message me if you use @thermofishersci.bsky.social Gene Frames for microscopy!
Thermo are planning to discontinue these in September but have indicated they will look into this further.
If I make list of labs using them Thermo might not kill the product
Please RT🔬🦠
