"Attack of the Bacteriophage" Inspired by Peter the strawberry from Family Guy. This was a fun way to introduce phages for the class presentation. #microbiology #familyguy #phage #animation #AnimatedShorts

The voices in my head...

Being a hardcore microbiologist means having amoeba for breakfast #microbiology #amoebaforbreakfast

When people ask me why I enjoy microscopy, this might be the closest to an answer that I can think of. Who wouldn't be drawn towards such beauty. Image of a fixed slide captured using Echo Revolve (what I wouldn't do to own it) @Discover_Echo #OSU #Microscopy @OSUmicrobiome

@_jake_robinson Cant wait to get a hold of it!

One week to go! #Treewilding 🌳

@anishgiri Why win when you can draw? (Just kidding ...HUGE fan, learning chess from your course)

Flying to St. Louis for the Sinquefield Cup! Ask me anything.

@PRSecor @MSU_MicroImmuno @montanastate Congratulations!

More BIG NEWS 🚨 I am super excited to share that my lab has relocated to the Dept of Microbiology & Cell Biology @MSU_MicroImmuno at @montanastate in Bozeman, MT. We will be looking to recruit scientists at all levels. Get in touch if you love phages, microbes, & mountains.

I met my replacement today! And wow isn't he more efficient, pouring over 250 plates in 3.5 hours! Guessing the research is gonna be faster than last time PS - it's a automatic plate pourer @OSUmicrobiome #microbiology #Science

I had the great fortune of meeting Dr. Venki Ramakrishnan during his visit at IISc last year, where he had mentioned that he was working on a new book about mitochondria. Guess what I found today at the bookstore...

@_jake_robinson It's the ultimate form of life...truly marvellous

Symbiosis is beautiful

Nothing makes me more happy than doing live cell microscopy and watching variable gene expression using GFP Tags! The brightness of each cell is dependent on the amount of gene expression of that particular cell, resulting in heterogeneity within the population. #microbiology

I had the chance encounter with a tardigrade thanks to @strayologist. So I decided to make a small animation of the same. Say hello to the tardigrade showing love to everyone who sees it. #microbiology #tardigrade

@BerrienElliott That looks so cool!

Nothing's more infuriating than re-writing TOEFL because I gave the exam 2 years ago and thus lost the validity of all of my hard work. Here's to proving I know English...again

@IrinaBezsonova That is so cool! Love the integration of art into science....will try this style too

Day 2/31 of #inktober2023 Prompt: SPIDERS Spider dragline silk protein Spidroin 1 (pdb 7wio) Some dragline spider silk can be as strong or even stronger than steel. Tomorrow’s prompt is PATH. Please send your suggestions.

@WeissmanLab @PhageAustralia Congratulations on this great honour!

!!!!!!!!

@ATJCagan Love the animation!

Thrilled to announce I am starting an Assistant Professorship at the University of Cambridge to study somatic evolution across the tree of life, with a focus on ageing, cancer and environmental monitoring. Exciting times ahead!

BREAKING NEWS The 2023 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for their discoveries concerning nucleoside base modifications that enabled the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19.

Molecular Virology 2023 meeting at IISc starts tomorrow. All sessions will be available live on YouTube. See conference webpage for the link and program details. molecularvirology2023.wordpress.com

@A_Amunts @AbhayKot @thermofisher @bengeliscious @FlorentWaltz Damn that looks fascinating!
