Spent this joyous evening at @JHUAPL witnessing the NASA #DARTMission crash into asteroid Dimorphos! There were briefly fireworks 💥 after we cheered for impact!

Giant news from a giant planet!

@NASAWebb captured a new view of Jupiter in infrared light, uncovering clues to the planet’s inner life. Two moons, rings, and distant galaxies are visible. Get the details: https://t.co/6WKbAQY78z

We've got a new @NASAWebb image! But as King George asks in Hamilton, "What comes next?" Here's a post on #JWST plans:

Disaster Microbiology. The basic premise is that there must be a disaster that causes a change in the environment, which then causes an alteration to microbes (physical or biological adaptation), and that this adaptation must have additional ramifications.

Hey old friend @NASAWebb, I remember when we met at @northropgrumman in 2019. You were just learning how to deploy your sunshield. I met your creators. I got to tell your story in podcasts and videos. And look at you now, sending back the world's most coveted pics! Cheers #JWST!

[Dr. Nadia Drake @nadiamdrake]

Yesterday I was at @stsci for a briefing about @NASAWebb's early release images (which we will see July 12th!), as well as the telescope’s operating status and science goals. After the briefing, we got to see the mission operations center...and some fresh pics. (A short thread)

Nice to see our paper published earlier this year in @jbiolchem reporting that melanin synthesis in Cryptococcus neoformans incorporates multiple substrates featured in @MEDICINEINO

Today we talked about melanin at the Microbiology Institute Post-Graduate Seminar @ufrj

Daniel Smith @Danfqsmith & @JohnsHopkinsMMI collaborators @dragotakes @madhurak_12 @JMHtweetsrarely @ACasadevall1 share preprint findings. Team studied whether the melanin-based immune response of Galleria killed Cryptococcus during infection

AND a good opportunity to get some nice timelapse movies of Candida albicans yeast triggering (then evading, the triggering again) immune melanization.

Happy to share - self-destructing yeast including a human pathogen https://t.co/hfkhlwG6Uv

Had a "FUN" time designing this Cryptococcus mug
