Fun having our research with @FilipPetegem on gut bacteria featured live today on The Evan Bray Show on CKOM, Saskatoon. The @CanLightSource at @Usask continues to be an invaluable resource for Canadian science. @ubcmsl @UBCChem @UBCbiochemistry iono.fm/e/1504090

Nice to have this collaborative work with @FilipPetegem showcased by the @CanLightSource.

Lots of mentors got a call out in the article but I want to specifically highlight the support from @nkoropatkin @EricCMartens1 @SandkvistMaria @teresa_omeara @MattHFoley @RGlowacki13 and all Koropatkin and Martens lab members that made me think of myself as a microbiologist!

Rebecca Pollet, Ph.D., (@rmpollet) highlights the importance of making connections, not just between the lab and the “real” world, but also with scientists one can identify with—and helping others to do the same. Read the Spotlight: asm.social/1yE #NAHM2023

@jbwallingford @cleaverlab @Lab_VPrince This reminds me of the Biochemical Journal's laudable "painless publishing" strategy from about a decade ago: doi.org/10.1042/BJ2012…

So, in our recent editorial, @cleaverlab, @Lab_VPrince, and I pointed out the obvious: WE are the ones letting peer review destroy the future of academic biology. So, what can we do differently? Here's one idea in a very short 🧵 1/6

Bert & his team called this a pedal bin mechanism... because of the SusD lid opening and closing - as Simon Newstead (@inwardopen) said in @JBR_White's viva "It's more like a flushing toilet!"

Great to see another favorite @CAZyDB family, GH31, getting the subfamily treatment, also using @ahvdk 's excellent tool, SSNpipe. Kudos to @sjwill99, @NicolasTerrapon, @ethangbaus, and team. #SequenceSimilarityNetworks doi.org/10.1016/j.jbc.…

Yay! The last installment of Hila's endo-glucanase 16 work is out in @PlantDirectJ. Great collab. w/ the Mansfield, Samuels, and Pauly labs. @ubcmsl @ubcforestry @UBCBotany @HHU_de Long story short: We still don't really know what these enzymes do in vivo! doi.org/10.1002/pld3.4…

Never heard of Copper Radical Oxidases before? Check out our new review from @ubcmsl in #EssaysinBiochemistry (@PPPublishing) as a primer. These enzymes have a deep biochemical/mechanistic history and newfound roles in fungal, bacterial, & plant biology: doi.org/10.1042/EBC202…

How can we protect food crops from #fungal diseases? Researchers including @jgberrin and @KbYasuyuki have identified a pair of enzymes that primes fungal pathogens for plant infection that could open new avenues for preventing disease and protecting crops. scim.ag/Yy

Proud to be part of this stellar work led by our colleagues @BBF_lab (@jgberrin, @LafondMichael3, @BastienBissaro) and @KbYasuyuki on the critical role of a Copper Radical Oxidase/Peroxidase enzyme pair in fungal phytopathogenesis.

A nice way to end the week: Yann & @MClevelandPhD's capstone paper from their time in the lab is out today in @ACSCatalysis. Yann's original vision plus a little scientific serendipity made this a pretty cool story. @ubcmsl @ubcchem @UBCBioProducts doi.org/10.1021/acscat…
