MY YEAR IN REVIEW: Hi, if you've been following my work, a heartfelt thank you for reading. 2024 has been a very fulfilling year and one of my busiest. I'm a science journalist based in Madurai, India and writing for the international press for the last 20 years. My work 👇

🚨New paper alert🚨
So happy to finally share this! now out @CellReports ✨ We explored the hierarchical structure that controls virulence in Pseudomonas🦠, finding a mutational hotspot that acts as a genetic switch for hypervirulence💀 and AMR💊

If the structural similarity between hemoglobin and chlorophyll doesn't fascinate you, then I'm not sure we can be friends.

Gram stain showing gram-positive rods arranged in long chains, characteristic of Bacillus species.

These rods are large, uniform in size, and may exhibit a bamboo-stick or boxcar-like appearance.

Do you need an intro to analyzing (prote)omics data?

This series of lectures may be helpful.

We aimed to make them short & accessible.

Enjoy watching & learning!

Today in @Nature we share our work describing
• how to achieve resistance to natural viruses,
• a technology that prevents the escape of engineered genetic information,
• how viruses overcome genetic-code-based resistance.

@implosian @baym @nquinoneso What if, instead of sampling hundreds of phages, we could just make the right ones glow? Enter Phage Discovery by Co-culture (Phage DisCo) which combines two strains: a WT and a modified strain, each fluorescently tagged. Now, fluorescent signal will mark plaques of interest. 3/

Here's the UVC project if you want to follow along. Work in progress so expect code and STL files to change. I'll make a nicer standalone system soon.

I had an amazing time reporting this story, chatting with bright-eyed children about what they saw through their Foldscopes, a low-cost microscope that's changing the study of science at a grassroots level in rural India. Thanks @MMopatnsf @karthickbala
