Can confirm. Super awesome!

[Sassetti Lab @SassettiLab]

Our lab has specific opening for a #postdoc interested in studying the regulation of cell growth and division in M. tuberculosis - part of a large program that fosters access to resources throughout the TB research community. Oh, and we just happen to be awesome! #postdocjobs

UMMS researchers have launched a new online science program for middle school students in Worcester, many of whom may be future UMMS scientists. Read more: https://t.co/EtOAaDsDQV #biomedicalsciences #biomedicalsciencephd #education #middleschoolscience

New! From me and @yhgrad, @FrylingKyra, @cgtraverso, Ying Li, and Adam Wentworth:

Identification of bile acid and fatty acid species as candidate rapidly bactericidal agents for topical treatment of #gonorrhoea

Look at these future scientists!

[ScienceLIVE @ScienceLIVEUMMS]

We are so excited to share with you what we've been creating with ScienceLIVE @UMassMedical to bring to @ScienceWPS1 & @worcesterpublic. Check out our short trailer (children/parents consented to filming):

@owuorgpo Congrats!

[Adrian Jinich @champiDicty]

Our Mtb TnSeq database preprint is up. Our goal is to help TB researchers more easily explore the data gold in ~20 yrs. worth of Mtb TnSeq data.

It was such a pleasure and honor to work with @anisha_zaveri and Michael deJesus.

We'll be uploading a bunch of new screens soon!

I've had so much fun interacting with the students of @worcesterpublic by participating in @ScienceLIVEUMMS and discussing microbes 🧫 and antibiotics 💊! #STEMeducation

[ScienceLIVE @ScienceLIVEUMMS]

Hello, twitter world! We are kicking off our #ScienceLIVE educational outreach program this month @worcesterpublic. Follow us for fun science facts, ways to promote both diversity in science and science literacy! #STEMeducation #diversityinSTEM #STEMinism

“I want to get those wheels turning.” - Mary Pickering, PhD, about the importance of a new interactive #science program for #Worcester #middleschool students. Read about the plans to expand #ScienceLIVE this spring: https://t.co/YGHQPRfVz0 @UMassMedRTI @SCOPE_UMMS @technocopia

[Sam Palace @samanthapalace]

New from me & @DrKoupenova: we know that #platelets in the blood can sense pathogens, trap them in clots, and activate innate immune responses. So how do bacteremic pathogens get around them? Pathogens like, for example, #plague (#BlackDeath)? A thread:

If you are interested in interactions between host immunity and mycobacterial respiration, check out the preprint of my first, (co)first-author paper! Big thanks to everyone involved! @SassettiLab @andolive85

[Dr. Meredith W. Whitaker @MerWright13]

I’m on vacation this week, relaxing, reading, & finally making time to tweet-thread my work that came out as ePub in June and fully paginated in late July. Reading about fixing systemic racism or stopping SARS-CoV-2 is more important, but if you've extra bandwidth, read on. 1/n

[Michelle Bellerose @MMBellerose]

@MerWright13 @SassettiLab Thanks Meredith!

[Michelle Bellerose @MMBellerose]

This paper is the final piece of my thesis work and I'm so incredibly grateful to see it published! Working in @SassettiLab with all our amazing lab members and getting to collaborate with many amazing individuals and labs has made this data what it is. Hope you enjoy the read!

[Michelle Bellerose @MMBellerose]

Thrilled to share our @SassettiLab research investigating how Mycobacterium tuberculosis survives during antibiotic treatment published in @mSystemsJ! https://t.co/g7zxXUfPfV

[Michelle Bellerose @MMBellerose]

These data suggest strategies for synergistic therapies that accelerate bacterial clearance, and they identify mechanisms of adaptation to drug exposure that could influence treatment outcome. Check it out!
