I’m from the generation that remembers when these diseases ran rampant. Perhaps we need to be reminded with a dose of repeated history
Why does daptomycin resistance appear so fast in Enterococcus? We finally have a clue.
DAP resistance in enterococci pops up quickly. What’s been missing is why resistance-associated membrane changes look the way they do, and why the classic path of mutations is so predictable.
Delighted to be attending the Prime Ministers Prizes for Science again. Awesome winners and awesome scientists #AustraliasBest #science #price
"...one year on and it feels like much of the political momentum around tackling AMR has already vanished."

Your data is lying to you. Here’s how technical artifacts distort biology—and how to see the truth. 👇
1/ Beautiful t-SNE? Shiny heatmap?
Look closer.
Technical artifacts can fake whole cell types.
Here’s where the ghosts hide.

We postdoc’d together in Baltimore. She was a good friend and world is definitely less bright now. Vale Kim Walker.
I heard this sad news yesterday. I had known Kim for about 30 years. She was unfailingly kind and supportive toward all. The world is less bright without her. Deepest condolences to her friends and family.

Go well Mark!
In Australia (UQ) if you click through
Thank you @narjournal.bsky.social and reviewers, and thank you team @hendersonlab.bsky.social @weinehue.bsky.social Brian forde and Matt Hemm, and Jack Bryant who was there from the beginning
Dear Bluesky, some good news to brighten your day! We are recruiting for the Director of the Centre for Population and Disease Genomics!! I would be grateful if you could share across your networks! uq.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/uqcareers/jo...
Elio Schaechter, eminent microbiologist and great human, leaves us his memoirs that tell the story of an extraordinary life: www.eliosmemoirs.org. What a fantastic and impactful journey!
4 years ago I was honored to host the legendary Elio Schaechter in the microbiology journal club, when he was only 93 yo...
Elio told us about very peculiar microbes that travel 1 mm/sec, reside inside mitochondria, ride a microbial bus...He named my kids who also joined "micro microbiologists"
RIP
Congrats on your first senior author paper!!!!! It has always been a pleasure working with you and seeing you grow into a stellar thoughtful scientist! May this be the beginning of many such works!!!
Out yesterday. Using a translation reporter on a mini-tn5 transposon, and high freq. mutagenesis, we looked at translation on whole genome scale independently of genome annotation. academic.oup.com/nar/article/...
Just a few days left to apply for PhD positions in the Health Protection Research Unit - Public Health Genomics @imibirmingham.bsky.social.

I am offering two projects (on Clostridioides difficile & metagenomics of wastewater and freshwater).
Best day of the year (if a bit hot this time)
I know you will all play a tiny violin but I genuinely very rarely get invited to speak at big conferences. So the invite this morning to present at ESCMID next year is a career highlight! Can’t wait!!!!

Thank you @inflammasomelab.bsky.social and @s-burgener.bsky.social for the invitation to visit the IMB@UQ in Brisbane! I had a fantastic time presenting my postdoc work in the Kagan lab (@jkagan1.bsky.social) and talking science!
