Big news folks: our latest paper is now available in JBM! 🎉 Can't fully express how excited I am. In addition to providing the 1st insights into TAM in Bacteroidota, this work represents the completion of my postdoc in the wonderful lab @CCanimorsus I'm so proud! 💪

Delighted to share that our latest paper just got published in JBC! Thank you to all the authors for the great teamwork!! jbc.org/article/S0021-…

@ThePhDPlace Agree. Failure is part of the "game". Yet, it looks like that only successful applications are showcased...

I’ve received three rejections this week. I think it’s important that we normalise that.

@MicrobiomDigest @ASH_hematology True but it seems that the new figure confirms what the former/manipulated one suggested.

I don't understand how a senior author on this paper thinks this problem can be resolved by sending in a new figure. He wrote: "None of the conclusions of the manuscript are affected by these errors." I hope that @ASH_hematology takes a stronger stand. pubpeer.com/publications/0…

Today my last lecture for this a.y., I delivered a webinar to PhD students in Life Sciences and Biochemistry @SapienzaRoma. Course "Metabolism and metabolites". The example used? The publication @jbiolchem doi: 10.1016/j.jbc.2024.107803 Thanks to co-presenter @SlidingClamp90 👏

New preprint 🚨: with @Mariusz78897208 we found that the Bacteroidetes beta-barrel assembly machinery is quite different to E. coli. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #cryoEM

And then the nice collaboration with @lux_des and his group in the frame of the past NATO SPP project and present @CLCBIODETECT on pathogens detection, nanotechnologies and thermoplamonic effect onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100… onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

We have also published an interesting article on the use of my beloved enzyme 😍 E coli GadB (glutamate decarboxylase) to synthesize homohypotaurine, a promising candidate to protect endothelial cells and cardiomycytes from cytotoxic compounds, as H2O2 mdpi.com/1420-3049/29/1…

2024 was also the year in which we published two articles on phosphinic compounds that we are studying since some years and are promising antimicrobials #AMR sciencedirect.com/science/articl… (below a figure) mdpi.com/2218-273X/14/1…

2024 was a rewarding year for my research on microbial responses in microorganisms to organic acids and low pH and @COSTprogramme @EuroMicropH network. We published two very appreciated reviews Here they are: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… academic.oup.com/femsre/article… (below a figure)

@selcukorkmaz Why is SE preferred to SD in experiments with mice?

Understanding the difference between Standard Deviation (SD) and Standard Error (SE) is crucial for accurate data interpretation. SD measures the variability within your data, indicating how spread out the individual data points are from the mean. In contrast, SE measures the uncertainty around the sample mean as an estimate of the population mean. It reflects the precision of the mean, with SE decreasing as the sample size increases, making your estimate more reliable. The relationship between SD and SE is given by the formula: SE = SD / √(sample size). While SD remains relatively constant with larger samples, SE diminishes, highlighting the reduced uncertainty in the mean estimate. A common mistake in research is using the “±” notation without specifying whether it refers to SD or SE, leading to potential misinterpretation of the data. Clear distinction is essential for transparency and accuracy in reporting. Key Takeaways: • Use SD to describe data variability. • Use SE to indicate the precision of the mean. • Always specify which measure you are reporting.
