Are you interested in the evolution of bacteria? If so, myself and @TaylorLabGroup have recently penned ✍️ a review article for @MicrobioSoc titled Mutation Bias and Adaptation in Bacteria: (https://t.co/GosL31Cjb3). A short 🧵 on why we should care about mutation bias below (1/7

[Tiffany Taylor @TaylorLabGroup]

This review from @Jameshearsawho is an absolute corker. He is an expert communicator and poured so much of what he's been thinking about over the past 6 years into it. We really hope you like it and it is useful for the community. Excellent 🧵from James below.

📢Disinfectants and antiseptics: mechanisms of action and resistance

Maillard & Pascoe examine the mechanisms of action of biocides, as well as the bacterial intrinsic and acquired resistance to these biocides and its implications in environmental and clinical settings.

Several years ago, I wrote a 2-page guide on how to give a killer narratively-driven scientific talk. I called it "The David Attenborough Method", in homage to the master storyteller. https://t.co/fROAFOYNBM

I recently expanded upon it in a short essay: https://t.co/vh4Jt0g1PP

[The Struggling Scientists @TheStrugglingS4]

Doing a PhD costs, time, energy, and resources.

What has been a hidden cost of doing a PhD you weren't aware of when you started it?

(Mine was the mental drain it would take, to the point where I didn't have the energy to do basic stuff at home in the evenings)

OK, I'm now ~3 years into being a #newPI, and I finally feel like I basically know what the job is and how to do it. One important part was finding an organizational method. Here's what works for me! 🧵 1/

I can’t describe how important it is to establish roles, responsibilities and a general ethos for research labs. Especially in academia where so many labs turn dysfunctional due to internal competition and lack of structure. https://t.co/nvqGZddAK2
