The molecular evolution of vertebrate organs: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Margarida Cardoso-Moreira discusses rates of evolution of organs and cell types, molecular mechanisms of organ evolution and how complex traits contributed to the diversification of vertebrates.
We're hiring a Postdoctoral Fellow!
How does Mycobacterium tuberculosis survive drug treatment? You'll use molecular genetics and single-cell approaches to investigate how gene expression variability drives drug-tolerant subpopulations.

Headshot of Jeff Cole
We were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Professor Jeff Cole, a long-standing member who held many positions in the Society. Jeff was elected an Honorary Member in 2011. You can read his full obituary here: microb.io/46xYzkz
It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Professor Jeff Cole. An esteemed academic, Jeffs research on bacterial adaptation to oxygen and nitrosative stress made a lasting impact on the field. He mentored nearly 60 doctoral students, our thoughts are with his family, friends & colleagues

We found that conjugative plasmids can actively eliminate recipient bacteria that resist plasmid acquisition. 🧵
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Thanks so much! We are still very intrigued as to its true function. Hopefully my previous group or someone else in the field can solve the mystery! @jessicamablair.bsky.social
The coolest finding of my PhD is finally out! E. coli has a 7th RND pump that is present in phylogroups B2/D/E/F but absent in A/B1/C. As a result EefABC has been absent in all K-12 RND studies! Co-authored by the very talented Dr. Lizzy Darby. @jessicamablair.bsky.social
