A plant symbiont in the phyllosphere uses two distinct T6SS-antibacterial weapons to get rid of potential competitors! 🏹🦠 Proud to have had the opportunity to take part to this exciting project, and fantastic work from the Carlier lab! academic.oup.com/ismej/advance-…

Beyond the scope of this paper, I must highlight how terrific this unique system of obligate symbiosis is, to decipher what are the molecular determinants for bacterial phyllosphere colonization. I have no doubt that this will lead to several major discoveries in the future! 🦠🪴

One of the most surprising lessons for me in 30 years in science is how it's essentially impossible to predict what major scientific breakthroughs will emerge or where they'll emerge from. But how we fund science is mostly based on the assumption that we can make such predictions

After 15 years of academic research, I'm thrilled to announce that I will now join the start-up NeoEarth as Lead Project Engineer, and will help to uncover the biotechnological potential of #microalgae! 🦠🔬 More here: neoearth.fr

Petya @krastevalab, thanks a bunch for welcoming me in your lab, for your constant support, and for making me uncover the world of bacterial cellulose, structural biology and CryoEM 🙏 That was such an exciting time with lots of discoveries, challenges, and wonderful colleagues🥰

Happy to see this👶out: we crack how E. coli & proteobacteria assemble cellulose secretion systems to recruit proxies for polymer decoration and nM c-di-GMP sensing to diversify a boring synthase with low c-di-GMP affinity and 1 sugar-1 linkage mechanism! nature.com/articles/s4146…

And the work presented is online today 😊🥳 Link: #Ack1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nature.com/articles/s4146…

Look what I found under the microscope!! 🥰

@GeiselBiofilm @ASMicrobiology @JBacteriology Great cover, I love it!! 😍

"The reviewers scored AI-generated concepts as more exciting than those written by humans, although the AI’s suggestions scored slightly lower on feasibility" 😳🤯

@wc_ratcliff Same here, I think I will just delete my account

Science Twitter- has anyone noticed a huge decline in actual scientific content on here in the last few months? I barely ever open the app now to see what's going on, as it's all weird culture war stuff, politics, ads, etc. Feels like science twitter is nearly dead.

It was insanely sublime! Frankly brilliant, I have no words... 🤩😍 Bravo!! #Paris2024

@VirusOfMicrobes @A_Hryckowian I see you! ☺️

More phage-bacteria interactions in this session #VoM2024

Two papers in @Nature present a new genome editing technique that enables the insertion, inversion and deletion of long DNA sequences at user-specified genome positions. The approach may provide an easier method of genome editing. go.nature.com/3RGkI8M go.nature.com/3RHBvIs

We would like to thank the reviewers for their helpful suggestions

@MarioFeldman9 @Rainmaker1973 I thought that was you while seeing the video, indeed! 😃

@Rainmaker1973 Cant believe my video made to twitter lol. I made that flan for friends!
