Our latest #research is now published with @SpringerNature in @NatureComms. Led by @CL_Holmes and with @KHullahalli, the study used barcoding to describe two modes of Klebsiella dissemination from the lung. Read it here! rdcu.be/d6D8h

Rapid fire talk from @MGoBacteria on his comparative genomics work identifying Klebsiella genes associated with progression from colonization to infection, at #ASMicrobe. #klebclub

Im a little late to this trend but here’s todays result: Wordle 218 3/6 ⬛🟩⬛⬛🟨 🟨🟨⬛🟨⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

@DrAlfredoTorre1 @TKochanPhD If succuessful, you would walk through poster sessions and people would run over to thank you and perhaps snap selfies.

@TKochanPhD I have been looking for one but no, no luck

Does anybody have a solution to automatically italicize organism names in references in endnote without having to do it manually? #AcademicTwitter #scitwitter

@oilcanoyler It’s so great to see you with your own lab!

@oilcanoyler I had a great tech at Penn, but she’s moved on to bigger things! 😉

Ahh, a good old reply all storm is going on in my email. I love both the hundredth person saying please unsubscribe me and the absurdist replies (with memes!).

This excellent series continues with outstanding speakers this year. Thank you to the organizers, including our own @CL_Holmes ! I look forward to hearing the latest and greatest abut Klebsiella.

@DienBard @EBabady Thanks for this info! How about specificity? Seeing any false positives?

The Omicron take over of Delta is quite unreal. What is also pretty amazing is that so far, the SGTF has had 100% sensitivity for our confirmed Omicron variants. Didn’t see it with Alpha. Curious if that’s true in other locations.

@DrWalkerMsBanta Touché! I do love trying to make sense of these big data sets though.

@Bachman_Lab Someone to analyze it and tell you what it means?!?

Got some early presents this year: fresh Tn-seq and rna-seq data! What more could a microbiologist want?

Submitted a grant today and feel like the world is now my oyster. Practicing the bass with my daughter, xmas shopping, 8 hour Beatles doc, bring em on!

Thanks for a great seminar yesterday @KarissaPhD, reminding us to think about the WHY of the work we do.

Happy Halloween!

These invasive ladybugs are amassing outside my office window. On the 7th floor! They may have weapons (science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…).

Don’t worry, I didn’t touch it!

With all the construction in Ann Arbor, riding my bike is clearly faster than driving to work. But there were still some turkeys on my commute (groan, dad joke).

@BrodskyIgor @pennvet @KingOfPathogens @pscottlab Congratulations Igor! Best of luck!

Incredibly honored and humbled to take on this position. I'm fortunate to be part of the awesome community @PennVet, and so grateful to my amazing lab, colleagues, & family. Excited for the future and building on what @KingOfPathogens @pscottlab and Sparky Lok have accomplished.

Our power went out but the turntable is on emergency back up. Priorities!

Im working on a grant budget, and a single sentence in the approach added $13,000. Some clauses are pretty expensive too.
