It's a Bacillus world, we're just living in it. Account ran by lab firmicutes.








I am absolutely thrilled to announce that I will be joining @PFW_Biology as an assistant professor of biology this fall! I am so blessed to be joining such an amazing group of passionate individuals, working to inspire the next generation of scientists.


I had a wonderful time at the 2023 Mark Wilson Conference! I got to meet so many amazing scientists and can’t wait to see all the wonderful science to come!








Today we celebrate Saria A. McKeithen-Mead (she/her/hers), an MIT PhD graduate and now a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford. @Sciria_

So excited to see this one out at @JBacteriology!! In this mini review, I elaborate on the close relationship between the cell wall #peptidoglycan and the plasma membrane in bacteria journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jb…



Curious about what leads to this dramatic phenotype in Bacillus subtilis? In some my graduate work, I investigate the importance of regulating the timing of integration for a class of integrative mobile genetic elements here: doi.org/10.1371/journa… #hgt #microbiology



Ever wonder how an integrative mobile genetic element knows when to integrate into the chromosome of a nascent host? You can find out by reading a preprint from my graduate work where we show that sometimes bacterial sex kills. #microbiology biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
