Excited to share our surprising discovery of a highly novel photosynthetic bacterium from #Boreal #Shield #lakes in Canada! Now published in @Nature , over six years after our first enrichment culture

I'm very excited to present the latest type VII secretion system research from the @JohnWhitneyIIDR which is out now at @biorxiv_micrbio. In this work, we look deeper into how toxins are recognized and secreted by this Gram +ve secretion system. https://t.co/mVzfZRH4Wm

Our work on bacterial NLR-related proteins is out in its final form! See thread by @EmilyKibby for a few updates and see below for more highlights.

[Vasili Hauryliuk @hauryliuk]

A fun collaboration with @michael_laub8 @gem__atkinson and Abel Garcia-Pino labs, spearheaded by @tongzhang1109. Discovery of fused CapRel toxSAS TA as an anti-phage defence system is out in @Nature! https://t.co/C3SMk56Ppu

[Nathan Bullen @NathanBullen4]

A big thank you to all the collaborators - I learned a ton during this project and had the support of some really great people. Science is fun.

[Nathan Bullen @NathanBullen4]

Really excited to share this work. The punchline is bacterial non-coding RNAs are targeted by an ADP-ribosyltransferase toxin from P. aeruginosa. Essential RNAs, like tRNA and RNase P are modified and havoc ensues. Go read it!

[John Whitney @JohnWhitneyIIDR]

A tour de force in RNA biochemistry by @BBS_McMasterU PhD student @NathanBullen4 ! Thank you for teaching me all about the wonderful world of bacterial RNAs and how they are subverted by this potent antibacterial toxin.

Watched one of my closest friends earn his PhD today and couldn't be more happy. Congrats @TimothyAKlein, I love ya buddy!!!! (Pinks?)

[John Whitney @JohnWhitneyIIDR]

Second Whitney Lab PhD defence in the books. Congrats Dr. Klein! A big thank you to supervisory committee members @BrianKCoombes and @surette_m, and to external examiner @proftracypalmer for her wonderful thought-provoking questions.

@sarahajeel Happy music is overrated

@ASMicrobiology @mbiojournal @YaegerLuke I’m sure you’ve already seen this somehow

The Little Lab is recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellow (PDF) to do some Protein Biochemistry and Microbiology. Please RT. https://t.co/zPhC1qJXAe

Big week for the Whitney lab. Dr. @sasheriahmad defended his PhD and @JohnWhitneyIIDR joined Twitter. Not sure who I’m more happy for.

[BWFUND @BWFUND]

Congratulations to the 2021 Investigators in the Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease recipients.

[Shawn Whitehead @VulnerableBrain]

Dear @fordnation and @Sflecce - Ontario Graduate Scholarships fund the backbone of Ontario’s R&D. The value has been stuck at $15k since I was a graduate student. It’s time to increase the value. Investing in graduate students is good for everyone

I’m glad to share our latest work in Coombes lab to study the fitness of AIEC in vivo. Using tnseq/rnaseq,we identified a role for T4SS in the gut. The bioinformatics part was a fun learning experience for me and I’m excited to use this further in my lab.

@elizabethchau For the record, “gettin’ slizzard” means eating a bunch of chicken tenders

[Nathan Bullen @NathanBullen4]

is there anything more PURE than pre-seminar small talk.

[Nathan Bullen @NathanBullen4]

You ever find a movie on netflix that you wanted to see but sorta forgot about and then feel a little offended that the algorithm didn't recommend it - like do your job???

[Nathan Bullen @NathanBullen4]

Stellar stuff. Tim Klein and Co. making more headway into T7-secretion - this time taking a swing at the T7SSb structural component, EsaA. Congrats all.

[Timothy Klein @TimothyAKlein]

Glad to see this work in its final form. I couldn't have had better coauthors nor a better mentor (JCW). Thank you everyone for all the support! @dirk_grebenc @GandhiShil @McMasterIIDR @BBS_McMasterU

Workers in NYC found quite a surprise when beginning to set up this year's Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center: A little saw-whet owl was found nestled inside it!
