New preprint online! My favorite Streptococcus phage protein is actually an intrinsically disordered protein. The structure of paratox we know is only when its bound to ComR. @MBMicrobiology @umanitobasci @UofmMicroclub @UMmicrogsa @LauraInTheLab1 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

It’s set in Ink! I am a @UCSDMedSchool #PPFP 2024 award recipient. I got the call and I dropped a tear as I listened to the Ass. Director speak the words CONGRATULATIONS…..! Plenty thanks to my mentors @victornizet and @LauraInTheLab1 🫶🏾🇯🇲

We colonized Ventura for the first ever Lactic Acid Bacteria GRC! What an incredible, supportive community for this chemist to be a part of 😊

The Entero/Strepto fields are well-represented at #LABGRC in windy Ventura. Thanks to @rabritton and Maria Marco for organizing the inaugural meeting!

Love hearing about the cool stuff in @LindseyAtUTK 's lab (and loved the shout outs to me and @Katy_Patras ) 😁

Amazing talk on the power of citizen science in women's vaginal health by @SarahLebeer ❤️ #LABGRC

Time for my favorite session of the #LABGRC! #vaginalsymbiosis @Katy_Patras @LindseyAtUTK @SarahLebeer @jacquesravel

@jkimmey @Katy_Patras @LindseyAtUTK ❤️ you and yes, you're here in spirit.

@LauraInTheLab1 @Katy_Patras @LindseyAtUTK I read this tweet and though wtf is this random nonsense Twitter and then I saw it was you and who was tagged and instantly am like yes this is incredibly normal and suddenly it’s like I’m in the car too haha.

Sitting in a crazy jeep truck eating In-N-Out burgers talking about vaginal infections in the middle of the night on our way to the Lactic Acid Bacteria GRC. What could be better? @Katy_Patras @LindseyAtUTK #LABGRC

@Prokaryota @MicrobioSoc @ISMEJournal @ASMicrobiology @FEMSmicro I guess that is more for new observations though. I think @jlewillett is probably right for what I would choose.

@Prokaryota @MicrobioSoc @ISMEJournal @ASMicrobiology @FEMSmicro mBio has "observations" which are max 2 figures.

Ideas for where to submit a technical note/short communications type article in microbiology? Sth that basically says "We found a problem with [popular technique]", 1-2 Figures? @MicrobioSoc @ISMEJournal @ASMicrobiology @FEMSmicro

Nice job by a talented undergraduate in my lab! Go Eliza! @BingUBio discovere.binghamton.edu/student-spotli…

@blacksciblog Is this from strava? Can I follow you! strava.com/athletes/46740…

Captain America Pace 10k. I definitely could have kept going for a while. I ran with a water backpack and I’m glad I did as it got hotter during the run. I drank 1.5L of water!

Interested in a career in biodefense? We are recruiting a PhD microbiologist to drive a Bacillus anthracis research program. DM with questions. Please RT. ⁦@VI4Research⁩ vumc.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/vumccare…

Excited to be back in MN to give a talk @UMNBiofilmClub Symposium!

My fist PhD student graduated today! 😭🥳 So proud of @LamarSThomas1

Our new paper on the immune repose to P. aeruginosa persister cells is now out @ the mBio latest articles. We demonstrate the persister cells can evade the immune response.doi.org/10.1128/mbio.0…
