So what was the game plan? Just.. Pats got it. This is brutal.

Ok… I see you Ben Johnson. #LetsGions #Sonic&Knuckles #Gibbs26

How about those Lions?!?

Beautiful sky the other night. Clearly see a crescent moon and Venus! #AstronomyNerd

Some Star Wars Agar art I made a few years ago. I made a luciferase expressing strain of E. coli! #Science

Ahhh!!! Let’s Go Blue!!!

Native RNA nanopore sequencing reveals antibiotic-induced loss of rRNA modifications in the A- and P-sites - Nature Communications It remains unclear whether rRNA modifications can be naturally altered in response to antibiotics in bacteria. Here, the authors analyzed direct RNA nanopore sequencing data with an analytical pipelin...

E. coli can modify their ribosomes by shedding specific chemicals in response to antibiotics like streptomycin and kasugamycin, making the drugs less effective. This adaptive mechanism represents a novel way bacteria develop resistance, posing challenges for combating AMR.

So long, London! Headed back to DC soon. It’s been a great trip from Paris for #KLEBS2024, train to London and we visited Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and the Tower Bridge. Then rented a car and spent the last two days of our trip in the Cotswolds.

This is Finley the day we got him. He is almost 1 year old now. <3

It’s really pretty. Not too busy right now. It rained a lot this passed weekend so the water levels are really high.

Vacation in the Cotswolds! Had dinner at Smiths at Bourton-on-the-water last night.

Time to say 'Au revoir Paris' after a fantastic #KLEBS2024. Great science and great people. So proud to have @tomstantonmicro.bsky.social @kalanip.bsky.social @bananabenana.bsky.social representing the lab, and congrats to Tom and Kalani for their poster prizes! 👏

We ended out going to the Devonshire. But I did a picture of the sign. Lol

Found the Broadwick street water pump in Soho, London! #JohnSnow #epidemiology #cholera

Predictive gene expression signature diagnoses neonatal sepsis before clinical presentation Despite appearing healthy at birth, neonates who later developed EOS already had distinct whole blood gene expression changes at birth, which enabled the development of a 4-gene predictive signature f...

Every year, >200K newborns die from sepsis.
Our team used machine learning to develop a set of genes that can predict neonatal sepsis risk using at birth blood samples.

Add me S'il vous plaît :)

Paris, beer, science.
#Klebs2024

It’s snowing in Paris at #KLEBS2024

Pictured here are me and the two super-talented postdocs in my lab, @mlondono.bsky.social and Rachel Cronin!

I’m on hedgewitch right now. I think Footwizard is my favorite so far.

Dear #Klebsiella community: only one month to go before #KLEBS2024 We are looking forward to hosting you in Paris @institutpasteur **Please do not forget to complete your registration very soon**. A très bientôt !

First posters in the Kochan Lab!!
Getting ready for the Klebsiella Epidemiology and Biology Symposium in Paris at the Institute Pasteur.

lol same.
