Looking for a postdoc? My colleague @SaharMelamed is hiring!

Excited to share our newest pre-print outlining the discovery that bacteria traveling on a surface, by type IV pilus mediated twitching motility, use a designated chemoreceptor (PilJ) to detect and respond to interspecies signals (check out representative live imaging below!).

Beyond excited to join so many fabulous researchers at @UIowaMicrobio as an Assistant Professor next month!

@ScottBiering @MichelsonPhils @ScienceMagazine @HarrisProgram Very cool @ScottBiering!!

Such an honor to be recognized as a finalist for the inaugural @MichelsonPhils and @ScienceMagazine prize for immunology highlighting our work investigating protective mechanisms of flavivirus NS1 antibodies. @HarrisProgram science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@Prokaryota Literally me today!

Explaining to my lab friend why I think my cloning is not working

A startup from a former member of the O'Toole lab is looking for excellent microbiologists and/or cancer biologists to join the team in the Boston area. More info here - Pls share: microbialmachines.com

@Dr_Savage_Sci Squander, Robot, Poison.

Death. Step. Crumble. I don't think I've ever been described as "optimistic"; even so, this is a bit much 😬😅😬😅

I love the smell of Qiagen Buffer N3.

This certainly was a satisfying find in the incubator today.

@GcRox1 I’ve had good luck with VSV-G epitope at the C-terminus - especially for ChIP.

@BrunLabCaulo @Dr_Lori_Burrows Congrats!

Congratulations to the amazing @Dr_Lori_Burrows on her election to the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences!

If your dream is to understand how regulatory RNAs affect and control the interactions of bacteria with their environment, take advantage of the Azrieli postdoctoral fellows program (for candidates from EU and Canada) to join my lab. Application is open! azrielifoundation.org/the-azrieli-fo…

@EllinorAlseth @Prokaryota @DaZtrain may be able to help.

@joyfulmicrobe These are only four days old!

MICROBIOLOGY HOLIDAY! September 1 is a very special day because it's Sergei Winogradsky's birthday! A world without Winogradsky columns would be lacking indeed. If you have a photo of a Winogradsky column you made, post it below! 👇

@izzypie101 @PatrickMTate Ran gel backwards…..at least the samples I loaded in the middle lane worked out for me!

@izzypie101 @PatrickMTate I actually this for the first time last week!

did it hurt? when you forgot to add the template to your PCR

Made some Winogradsky columns with the niblings today! Thanks @joyfulmicrobe for the idea!!

Excited to read the new work from @SaharMelamed and @storzlab about novel sRNAs regulated by sigma28 that control flagella synthesis!

@BrianGoldspiel That’s all well and good, but chloramphenicol is most certainly light blue.

I have synesthesia except it’s about antibiotics and colors. Ampicillin is red, streptomycin is blue/purple, and chloramphenicol is lime green and you cannot change my mind.
