Excited to finally share our recent work, "Wall teichoic acids regulate peptidoglycan synthesis by paving cell wall microstructure", available now on bioRxiv! @TheRojasLab https://t.co/5JW5VDBmJg

Am I the only one who thinks this is fine? #biology

[Andrea Giometto @AndreaGiometto]

📢Please RT!📢Two #postdoc positions available at the crossroads of Evolutionary Microbiology & Soft/Active Matter Physics in my group. Engage with the exciting Microbiology and Soft/Active Matter community @Cornell! Funded by @NIH @HFSP. Apply here: https://t.co/1g1EynyfbT

It says a lot about the gender balance in physics that APS is the first time I've seen a queue for the men's room and none for the women's

You know you're in deep when your search for antibodies begins by typing "goat" into gmail

[Cara Weisman @WeismanCara]

Final version out at @CurrentBiology!
A look at how using species whose genomes have been annotated by different tools can affect how many lineage-specific genes there seem to be. (Punch line: you get more, sometimes by a lot.)

Excited to share my work with @fredmwinston! For the last 30 years, we have known that the conserved histone chaperone Spt6 is critical for transcription. But does it have other roles in cells? Read our preprint to find out. (Spoiler alert: it does)

Nothing keeps you humble like your student misspelling your name on a funding application and then asking for feedback

[Jacques Carolan @JacquesCarolan]

💥Something very cool just arrived in the post💥

The PRINT version of our philosophy book 'Analogue Quantum Simulation', written w/ the wonderful Dominik Hangleiter @JointQuICS and Karim Thébault @BristolUni, and published by @SpringerNature!! 🥳🥳🥳

More than a million people died from antibiotic-resistant infections across the globe in 2019, hundreds of thousands more than malaria or HIV, according to a new estimate. https://t.co/BasVBqwIGb

[Kate Shulgina @shulgina_kate]

Today my paper with @ribosaur on new genetic codes comes out in @eLife! It's been a labor of love over the past five years. Highlights in thread 🧵 (1/6) https://t.co/LPBP25Ye2M

[Ubadah Sabbagh @neubadah]

I spent a lot of time on this in the hopes that graduate students find it to be a helpful resource. A guide for finding, applying for, and choosing a postdoc. Things to think about.

I'm just gonna say it:

International postdocs in the US who make it into faculty positions deserve a f*cking 🏅 There are very few opportunities for non-citizens/non-permanent residents to show we can secure extramural funding .
All committees - remember that!

[Felix Barber @FelixBarber9]

@Sen_JoeManchin when the USA is overrun with the ravages of climate change, will you be so eager to explain why you killed our best shot at averting it? Leaders should lead from the front, not succumb to mob rule or special interests. https://t.co/mYjOZSb8hJ

[Alex Bisson @Archaeon_Alex]

We have a fully funded @HFSP project to study spatio-temporal organization of (never studied) mechanosensory receptors and signals in archaea. It's a cross-disciplinary project that will allow you to collaborate and travel between 3 labs (1/3)

[Liam Holt @LiamHoltLab]

RT please!

We have *postdoc positions available* in the areas of neurodegeneration and cancer research. We are thinking about how the physical properties of cells and the mechanical properties of tissues impact these diseases. For more information:

Stoked to see this work coming out from my undergrad lecturer in DEs, Mark McGuinness: How Math Solved the Case of the Volcanic Bombs That Didn’t Explode https://t.co/jucLcKanWr

Science tells us that most Americans do not need a COVID-19 vaccine booster (1/3)

1. With time, vaccine-induced antibodies wane but the same happens with all vaccines and infections.

[the tired doc @thehenman_12]

I saw a postdoc position that actually interested me, and the salary was $48,000.

I would have a PhD.

And the salary... $48,000 United States Dollars...

Industry me ASAP.
