MCB in the News_Richard Losick Received the First Microbial Sciences Initiative’s Distinguished Achievement Award @HarvardMSI @asyed @pgirguis mcb.harvard.edu/department/new…

We are thrilled to announce the close of a $3.3M Pre-Seed round, funded by @climatecap, Freeflow Ventures, @AgronomicsLtd, @FallLineCapital, and a network of climate-focused angels. Stay tuned, folks, more microbes to come 🦠🦠🦠 wildmicrobes.com/news

@TimWannier is the co-founder and CEO of @WildMicrobes. Wild Microbes is domesticating and engineering wild bacteria and building a strain catalog that will lower costs and improve process robustness across the bioeconomy. #ScientistsOnAMission

We are hiring a Head of Product. Come join us, and bring our strains to their full potential! wildmicrobes.com/careers

We are Hiring! Specifically I am looking for a Research Assistant to work with me directly in the lab. If you know anyone looking for a new opportunity or anyone who will be graduating this spring, please tell them apply at wildmicrobes.com/careers Please distribute widely.

Hey @harvard — maybe you could do this across the whole university? Salary minimum at FAS/SEAS is still $52K and doesn’t even increase over time…

Parents have been waiting many months for vaccines for their young children. They deserve to hear from @US_FDA why this lengthy process has been in children’s best interests. reuters.com/world/us/us-fd…

First article from my post doc! Big win for everyone involved! Thank you for making this happen. @Quinn_Labs @ISMEJournal @DVGMicrobe @cmartinhdz #sheblindedmewithscience #WomenInSTEM #microbiome #microbiology #cysticfibrosis #pathogenesis #antibiotics nature.com/articles/s4139…

Best way to get to know your new bacteria? Infect it with phage! Check out my preprint 👇 where I used tn-seq to find phage resistance in Corynebacteria and ID'd new genes involved in mycolata envelope assembly

Happy to finally have my preprint out in the world! I isolated phage from stool to identify anti-phage systems on conserved V. cholerae genomic islands The Vibrio cholerae Seventh Pandemic islands act in tandem to defend against a circulating phage biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

if this isn’t an argument for >6 weeks of paid family leave I don’t know what is. #paidfamilyleave #StateOfTheUnion @feminemtweets @WIMSummit

#HarvardPostdocSurvey | In conclusion, we strongly recommend that @Harvard amend its salary guidelines for FAS/SEAS postdocs urgently. Harvard has committed itself to being actively anti-racist and anti-xenophobic. (1/4)

Primordium is now offering everyone the chance to sample our full-plasmid sequencing service for FREE - never use Sanger sequencing again! Please retweet this message and we'll DM you a coupon to sequence 5 ENTIRE PLASMIDS 100% FREE, no CC or PO needed. primordiumlabs.com 5/

this! we need to talk about how taking a job that pays ~3x less than what one could make in industry is a privilege that many can't afford + how this contributes to an increasing lack of diversity as we go up the academic hierarchy

Harvard childcare centers will be closed for the first three weeks of January, while @harvard is expecting parents to continue working, finding other care solutions on a short notice. #anxiety #stress #covid @ewarren

The FAS PDA has sent a letter to @Harvard admin urging them to reverse their decision to close campus childcare facilities in January. Here's a summary: (1) Harvard expects postdocs to continue to their research during this time, so they need to enable safe, reliable childcare.

Good morning #Harvard #Postdocs! Start your day by filling out our annual #PostdocSurvey. Last year 350 postdocs responded: this year we're hoping to #Reach400. Your responses help us #advocate for postdocs with Harvard admin and offices. Using last year's survey... 1/3

Gender-affirming care saves lives.

1st paper of my PhD is on bioRxiv! Bacteria receive secret messages from kin during migration. We show that a conserved serine transporter enables self recognition. Molecular co-option of nutrient uptake may constrain the evolution of “message” proteins. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
