Professor in Epidemiology/Pathology for Agricultural Crop Plants - Ledig stilling på Aarhus Universitet Ledig stilling ved Institut for Agroøkologi - Plantepatologi og Mikrobiologi, Aarhus Universitet

Exciting position open @aarhusuniint.bsky.social: Professor in Epidemiology/Pathology for agricultural crop plants www.au.dk/om/stillinge...

I am so excited to share our new findings with you! We provide the structural evidence for a direct protein-to-DNA information pathway, showing how a bacterial enzyme 'reads' its own structure to 'write' DNA. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

A bacterial CARD–NLR-like immune system controls the release of gene transfer agents - Nature Microbiology An immunity-like system functions as a lysis control hub to promote gene transfer agent particle release from host bacterial cells, suggesting that bacterial immune systems may be co-opted to promote ...

Delighted to share our latest work on gene transfer agents (GTAs). We found a lysis control hub which allows GTAs to escape their bacterial host cells and transfer DNA 🧬 between bacteria. Thanks to @tunglejic.bsky.social, all co-authors, and our amazing collaborators!

Thank you so much Suayb!

Thanks Thorsten! It was a true privilege to have you as a colleague in the Kamoun lab. Learned a lot from you!

Thank you so much Nick! Your support means a lot 🙏🙏🙏

Congratulations @mpcontreras.bsky.social for this well-deserved recognition! Great to see!

Thanks Gali!

We could also say that two @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social junior PIs and three @greenrobust.de PIs won the 2018, 2026 and 2027 @biochemsoc.bsky.social
awards 😉 We are good at recruiting biochemists! 😄

Gracias Joshito!

Congratulations to our junior PI @mpcontreras.bsky.social on the 2027 Early Career Research Award from the @biochemsoc.bsky.social! Well done! 🥳🥳🥳

It is such an honor to have my name listed among you guys!

Thank you so much Yasin! Means a lot 🥲🙏

Thanks Mary! 🙂

The damage that Gold OA has caused to scientific publishing and academia in general is inmense. Catastrophic consequences, which while likely unintended, were not unexpected, and many indeed voiced them at the beginning.

And they continue today.
