Glad to receive the trust and recognition in being awarded a Dutch @NWOFunding Rubicon Fellowship for important work on antibiotic resistance.
I will be tackling this problem using a combination of biophysics, biochemistry and microbiology in Joe Loparo lab at @harvardmed
Preprint: My favorite project so far! We describe how encapsulation peptides from bacterial microcompartments trigger biomolecular condensation. We also show the necessary molecular features that guide specific self-assembly of these omnipresent peptides.

Did you know that bacteria remember their past for many generations? In this new preprint from us (@VillaniAlexis and Senen Mendoza) and Banin lab (@ShmidovE ), we reveal the "how?" and "why?" underlying a long-standing mystery in bacterial memory. https://t.co/zFc8PDLqTu
Exciting news – we’re hiring! Join our vibrant community, explore new frontiers in biochemistry, and mentor the next generation of scientific leaders.

Some bacteria have linear chromosomes and therefore telomeres. As in eukaryotes, a variety of transposons have evolved to occupy bacterial telomeres and establish addiction mechanisms! 🤯🤯🤯 Amazing story by @JoePetersLab at #cshlTE24 and fantastic work by @PopoMicro
The Bartlett Lab is open for business at the Wadsworth Center! We study pathogens with "unusual" shapes (balls & corkscrews) to find vulnerabilities in their growth plans, and learn how bacterial shape impacts infection. We are hiring... join us!

PREPRINT: Microcompartments are a pain, but we made it easy. In a collaboration with @CellfOrganized and @hoanghamyy, we develop the pXpressome toolkit to let researchers make, edit, and test their own carboxysomes. Don’t stress it, Xpress it! https://t.co/CTRa6YVeBU
3 years ago, my dream job was cancelled.
Emily's Wonder Lab helped inspire the next generation of scientists. I pitched dozens of science experiments for more seasons, but they weren't interested.
What do you do when your dream is cancelled?
You pivot.
I turned the experiments into a book series.
They became a #1 NYTimes Best Seller.
I used all the money I made from the books to hire a production company to help me turn each of the 100 science experiments into a YouTube series.
Introducing: Emily's Science Lab. It launches tomorrow.
Here's to controlling our own destiny ;)

We've lost one of the best humans and scientists I've ever met way too soon. Kevin Wood was the most sincerely kind, thoughtful, and sharp colleague I had the pleasure to call a friend.
If you ever met Kevin, you know exactly what I mean.
