Brian Stevenson Spirochete Lab

@jutraslab @BatesCollege Congratulations to all! Especially Brittany for joining Paula and the other excellent faculty at Bates!

@TickEurope Well done!

Putting to bed that 'anecdotal tale' especially here in Europe, and confirming for the naysayers that mosquitoes truly are not vectors for the Lyme Disease pathogen. parasitesandvectors.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

@jutraslab Oh shit!

@lawrenzlab @GovAndyBeshear That would require Kentucky’s Attorney General to go against the wishes of trump and maga. That is not likely to ever happen if he wants to continue to have a career here.

@AlexGuseman I still haven’t heard from most of the positions that I applied to in 1996.

I just got rejected from a faculty job I applied to *checks notes* in 2021… I know this happens but I’m curious record for longest gap.

@npariente The scientific community is growing rapidly. Seeing many interesting links

Despite it all, I still find scientific information here that is more timely and accurate than elsewhere. How are people finding the blue butterfly place?

@NickTakacs86 Don’t see you yet. Please follow me when you arrive. @BStevensonLab

To all our friends here: Our primary home is now @takacslab in the realm of bluer skies. Reason? Duh!!!!!!

@m_strent @mstrent Followed. Looks like you decided to take the helmet off for your new profile picture!

Find me at blue sky @mstrent

ComFB, found in bacilli, clostridia, cyanobacteria, spirochetes, beta-, gamma-, and the former deltaproteobacteria, is a widespread c-di-GMP (and also c-di-AMP) receptor protein. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@crypticprophage Logical, since AI-2 is a signal of metabolic happiness.

nature.com/articles/s4152… Beyond biofilms: Important discovery showing AI-2 regulates more than just biofilm formation. In Bacillus sp., synthesized AI-2 found to reduce sporulation by binding directly to sensor RapC, which then inhibits ComA activity to reduce sporulation.

Moving to a bluer place. Please look me up, page is: Brian Stevenson Ph.D. spirochete lab

@WatersLabMSU @UnivOfKansas @KansanNews @lawrenceks @KansasCityStar Wonderful! Best wishes for continued successes!!

So proud of my daughter Bella! She is a jr journalism student @UnivOfKansas and her @KansanNews school article on a homeless encampment in @lawrenceks was picked up by @KansasCityStar -the biggest paper in Kansas City!

@lab_ogden We do both. 3-4 recommended by the promotion candidate, 3-4 others picked by their Chair.

@ClementYChow Wait! I thought that she was MY best friend!!

I’m going to miss this

@goleylab Thank you!

@So_lets_kiLab70 @stonybrooku Spent 5 years on the 4th floor.

Who says you can’t go home again? After Cold Spring Harbor, I took a detour to SUNY Stony Brook which I hadn’t seen in 25 yrs and was surprised to find its alumni weekend 🤯First stop the Life Science Building where I did my PhD #StonyBrookAlumni #FullCircle @stonybrooku

@TickEurope @Ibarra_Lab @JobLopezRF Ryan, too!

@Ibarra_Lab @BStevensonLab @JobLopezRF Hmmmm...

@Ibarra_Lab @JobLopezRF @GilkLab @sdgilk was a postdoc at RML, and also a summer IRTA with Tom Schwan when she was an undergrad.

@BStevensonLab @JobLopezRF I like that! How many ex-RML or science cousins are on X (Twitter)? I know you, Job, Leigh, Travis, Jean, Dan Voth, who else?

@Ibarra_Lab @JobLopezRF Science cousins!

@BStevensonLab @JobLopezRF Hey! I know that guys! We all have an RML commonality! Greetings to both

@lawrenzlab @FindMeInTheLab I like the wrapping paper concept!

Got the news today that our lab's first paper was just accepted for publication! Now soliciting ideas for lab traditions to celebrate publishing ... any creative or fun ideas out there??
