@jfrickuga I think it's important to stay sympathetic to students who "grade grub". They're doing it out of anxiety because it's very difficult to get into grad programs/med school. What we see as 'no big deal' means everything to them.

@markowenmartin Heck yes!

This may actually happen. Would you buy a copy?

CheA histidine kinase, the "brain" of bacterial chemosensory systems, is a five-domain protein, as seen in E. coli and B. subtilis. Well, more often than not, this is not true! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@ntrlycompetent What do you mean by 'the game'?

@markowenmartin You can send it to me and I'll send it back! :D

@AliseMuok How do I get a signed copy???

My name is Alise Muok and I just published my first fiction book! Six Fantasy/SciFi/Horror tales with illustrations and music included. Curious? You can take a look here: barnesandnoble.com/w/books/114400…

How does a pathogenic bacterium search for food? @BriegelAriane and @AliseMuok studied the Treponema denticola, a bacterium that lives in dental plaque 🦷 Their results could have direct medical implications to treat diseases such as Lyme and syphilis edu.nl/b783g

Having this work published is a symbol of perseverance. From getting married, taking a leave for health, and moving to a different country, this work was there the whole way through! Thank you @BriegelAriane @CKeithCassidy @flory_olsthoorn @ortega_science journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

@markowenmartin Thank you, that's so sweet! I admire you too and hope to meet you soon :)

@AliseMuok Well, I admire the heck out of you!

Such a cool article about microbial hitchhiking from Small Things Considered--and they used my paintings!

@markowenmartin Me too! I was visiting family in CA and just had the wrong timing

@AliseMuok And they are so so impressive! I'm still sorry I didn't meet you last summer.

@phil_lol_ogist I don't know what this is but i like it

Babe, don't forget to put the biblically accurate angel atop the tree

Suicidal chemotaxis in bacteria! Now officially published! We found that Pseudomonas aeruginosa crawls towards lethal antibiotcs. This was a super cool project to work on and I'm stoked to see it out! Check out the preprint thread for details! nature.com/articles/s4146…

@zhulinlab Read by candlelight

If the Twitter goes down as predicted, what are we going to do without all the visionaries, luminaries and influencers???

@zhulinlab @OhioState Wow this looks awesome!

It’s pretty cool to deliver my “Introduction to Computational Genomics” lectures in this cozy, yet high tech room. Good job, ⁦@OhioState⁩ !

@IrinaBezsonova I would try using alphafold and see if I can get the dimer structure from there.

Hey science twitter! Looking for recommendations. What is the best way to refine homology model of a protein dimer?
