@martycap_micro @FEMSmicro Awesome seeing you again Martina!! Looking forward to seeing more great cave microbiology in Slovenia 😁

Wrapping up a fantastic experience at @FEMSmicro 2025 … leaving Milan inspired, full of new ideas, and enriched by the meaningful connections made! ✨🇮🇹 🦠🧫🔬 Here are a few memories of our presentations! #MEMlab #Microbiology #ScientificExchange

🚨🚨New paper out!!! Come for the first large-scale analysis of plasmid copy number across species, stay for one of the most intriguing results of my lab: universal scaling laws in plasmid biology! 📈🧬 👉nature.com/articles/s4146…

Hey y'all, I may be unemployed starting from October. If you have any leads on biotech / postdoc positions in the German-speaking part of Switzerland, I'd greatly appreciate a message. I'm great with Data Analysis, Molecular Biology, and Teaching. (Plz RT) timothyfuqua.com
