What's happening next week? #Phages2023 is what's happening! We are thrilled to have a rollercoaster of talks, posters, and networking once again! conferences.union.wisc.edu/phages/

Congratulations to Megan Young in the @CMB_UWMadison program for her successful PhD thesis defense!

Need an up-to-date #TreeofLife for teaching/conferences/wall paper? Talented PhD student @BasileBeaud drew a schematic consensus ToL from the most recently published phylogenies. Hope this is useful! Downloadable version in the thread👇

Are you a grad student, postdoc, or faculty interested in manipulating microbes for basic research or biotech applications, check out the CSHL summer course in Advanced Bacterial Genetics. I took this course as a graduate student and it was a life-changing experience.

@ChabaRachna @IiserMohali @DBS_IISERM Thank you for hosting me. I am extremely impressed with the QA session-many great questions and enthusiasm from your dynamic community.

Thank you Jade Wang @juedwang (University of Wisconsin-Madison) for an exciting talk on ‘What Bacteria Tell Us About the Mechanisms of Phenotypic and Genotypic Changes’ today @IISERMohali @DBS_IISERM. The talk was followed by engaging interactions with faculty & students.

A “power lunch” at @IiserMohali discovering female faculty in different countries facing so many common challenges. Many thanks to Prof. Gowrishankar and especially Rachna Chaba for arranging a grand finale of my trip to India!

The timeless Taj Mahal! Many thanks to ⁦@nuhakhan10⁩ @Deepak99538084 ⁦@AamirFa61267432⁩, students from Mohan Joshi’s lab for taking me to historical sites and learn about the Mughal emperors. Fascinating, joyful and proudly humbling.

@BrunLabCaulo That is awful and outrageous! I hope they find you an alternative flight instead of having to wait for crews to recover…

@juedwang « AC51 from Delhi to Montréal is cancelled due to crew constraints. For example, crew have a 'duty day' limit which means they work a maximum number of hours and one explanation could be that they reached their maximum due to earlier flight delays or connection issues. »

Flight to Montréal cancelled. This trip just got much much longer. 🤬🤬🤬

Enjoying a relaxed time with the lab of Sabari Sankar T. @Mutations_Lab at @bio_iisertvm.

@JukeBaRosh @dnarepairlab The next one is in November 2025 South Africa. Let’s make a plan to go!

@juedwang @dnarepairlab Way jealous!

Left #BMSV in Goa, India with warmth and inspiration. An exciting, diverse and friendly meeting of creative minds. Thank you @dnarepairlab for the hard work organizing it!

The Wang lab is excited to collaborate with @TheNelsonLab in the five group consortium. We look for motivated postdoc and research assistant candidates. Microbiology background will fit best but a strong training record in biochemistry or genomics also welcome. Email or DM me!

As usual, we had great collaboration with @theDANlab and my @UWMadisonMDTP student Jin Yang.

Happy to share our work on a small alarmone hydrolase in the plant pathogen Xanthomonas. Just like its eukaryotic homolog Mesh1, Sah can hydrolyze (pp)pGpp, ppApp, and convert NADPH to NADH. Kudos to Dr Danny Fung, who has two first author publications out on the same day!

Danny’s nice review on a fantastic paper.

@hauryliuk @nchembio It is our great pleasure!

@nchembio Thank you @juedwang for this lovely news and views piece!

@hauryliuk @gem__atkinson Awesome paper!

Another amazing collaboration with Abel Garcia-Pino lab: a full-length structure of SpoT! And, as predicted 10 years ago by @gem__atkinson, Acinetobacter baumannii SpoT is SYNTH-deficient. Stay tuned for the next one out very soon! nature.com/articles/s4158…

We are hoping to hire a few postdocs due to some new and exciting funding in the lab. We are looking for 1) structural biologists with demonstrated expertise in CryoEM or X-ray crystallography and 2) synthetic chemists with expertise in library synthesis or HT chemistry.
