My first paper from grad school is out!! So grateful for the whole team, especially co-author @JulianYano, and other friends/colleagues who we got to work with on this paper @turcotteea @barton_lab

@LexxMun @alicew0ndrland Lex, so sorry to see this terrible news. Thinking of you.

[Rita McCall @RitaMcMicrobe]

Check out the newest Cox Lab publication where we argue that autophagy does matter for in vivo control of Mtb infection. It was awesome to be able to play a small part in this story. Congrats Guillaume!

@BerkeleyScanner No power here near Sacramento and Dwight.

Breaking - Workers sitting in at the UC Office of the President have been told they are under arrest. #UAWonStrike

[Rita McCall @RitaMcMicrobe]

I grew up in a union household (@IAFFofficial) and saw first hand the strength of unions. Now I’m proud to be striking with @sruuaw for a fair contract. I believe better working conditions = a more inclusive UC. One day longer, one day stronger! #FairUCNow

[Rigel Robinson @RigelRobinson]

Adopted unanimously. The Berkeley City Council is in solidarity with UC academic workers in the fight for a fair contract! #FAIRUCNOW

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

NEW: University of California grad student workers have launched the largest academic strike in U.S. history.

Workers tell us they can’t afford to eat, pay rent, or have kids.

The university has an endowment worth nearly $30 billion.

[Shaina Carroll @ShainaCarroll8]

Grad school and postdocs should be options for everyone regardless of where you come from and how much money your parents make. That’s why I am fighting for higher compensation and better childcare reimbursements @uaw2865

[UAW 4811 @uaw_4811]

At 5am this morning, striking Academic Workers formed a picket line at a construction site at UC Berkeley and successfully shut it down by talking to the workers from OE, IBEW, and LiUNA. They are honoring our picket line and won't be building today. #Solidarity #UAWonStrike

[Berkeley Faculty Association @FacultyBerkeley]

Tomorrow, Wednesday, we urge all faculty to come join us at the picket on Sproul and Bancroft at 11.30am so we can show our collective support for the historic strike by @BerkeleyUAW2865 @sruuaw @UAW5810 Wear academic robes or bring signs #FairUCNow #StrongerTogether

[Rita McCall @RitaMcMicrobe]

@trnpl @UCBerkeley So frustrating!! Here's to hoping we get the elusive "EFT notification" email tonight.

[Matt Welch @MattWelchLab]

Check out our newest paper from postdoc Bisco Hill describing the Mycobacterium marinum actin-based motility factor and its interesting ability to drive lipid droplet movement! https://t.co/6s99eaeRwe

NO MATTER WHAT those dorks @ the Supreme Court say about abortion — you (yes, YOU!) can get abortion pills mailed to you no matter where you live.

Mifepristone + Misoprostol 💊 💊

@AidAccessUSA does “advanced provision” which means you don’t have to be pregnant to get them!

Is there anyone in the Twitter void who is well versed in MaxQuant and could answer a few questions? I'm using it for LFQ #AcademicChatter #masspec

[Alfred Twu @alfred_twu]

While national news focuses on San Francisco, if you really want to know where California's headed - look at the East Bay. Home to nearly 3 million people (3x the size of SF), it's a window into the future of America's suburbs & non-superstar cities. And the future is bright. 🧵

[Rita McCall @RitaMcMicrobe]

@SwankyKindaGuy Aw no! Hope you have a speedy recovery.

[Rita McCall @RitaMcMicrobe]

My alma mater, Grinnell College, is still looking for 2 visiting biology faculty. These are 1-2 yr positions and past faculty have had great success at landing teaching jobs at other SLACs afterwards. ABD PhDs are also welcome to apply. Please RT!
