Still can't believe it's real. My first first-author paper is out today! The project that was trapped in an "almost done" state for 3.5 years is finally DONE. Many thanks to my lab @sourjik and special thanks to my great supervisor, Victor Sourjik, for his support and inspiration

Just an impression of what we're doing.... #joboffer Plz RT & spread words #SelimLab has open positions (#PhD & #postdoc immediately) with focus on #CryoEM structural biology & #cyanobacteria Plz apply if you wanna join an international team #ScienceJobs @RxivJob @jobRxiv

New in JB: Underlying similarity in bacterial adhesins from @MRC_LMB @tbharat_lab. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jb… @ASMicrobiology @JBacteriology

Two exciting papers about the the protection of nitrogenases from O2 by the ferredoxin Shethna protein II from the Tezcan doi.org/10.1038/s41586… and Einsle doi.org/10.1038/s41586… labs were published today by @Nature. Surprisingly both papers reveal superstructures of filaments.

Poster prizes at #MultiBac2025 1st Int Conference on Emergent Functions of Bacterial Multicellularity of @spp2389 were awarded to Ruth Viveros (@NTschowri lab), Miriam Epping (Grünberger lab), Danielle Gabi Lange (Dar lab) -sponsored by @MolMicroEditors and Curr Opin Microbiol

Kicking off the new year with my paper on danger sensing in bacteria! Discover how bacteria defend against phage attacks. Huge thanks to everyone who contributed! #biofilms #phage #dangersensing

OUT NOW: Bacteria use exogenous peptidoglycan as a danger signal to trigger biofilm formation @knutdrescher @sneakystaph @biozentrum nature.com/articles/s4156…

We were excited to hear @lj_mihajlovic talk about her postdoc work developing a molecular toolbox for bdellovibrio and @meganleeny about her PhD plans on microbial coexistence theory at our last #SMEE.

Pls share: Binghamton University and the Binghamton Biofilm Research Center are excited to accept applications for our 2025 REU site focused on microbial biofilms research binghamton.edu/centers/biofil… @ASMicrobiology

Super fun project working with the Zorya team. Lots of interesting discussions and crazy biology, still lots to explore!

Very happy our paper on Zorya anti-phage defense system is now published in @Nature! 🥳 Big congrats to first authors @HaidaiHu and @__jphilipp and all other authors! Wonderful collab with @Salmo_Lab and @SimonJacksonNZ #cryoEM @UCPH_CPR @koebenhavns_uni nature.com/articles/s4158…

Our stator unit paper is now also in print @CellCellPress! @Nth_step created this beautiful model of the bacterial #FlagellarMotor based on our and other published structures. Biology meets art! #sciart #Science #StructuralBiology #CryoEM #sciencetwitter cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
