@samjlord @A_CharlesOrszag @BEuplotes @MullinsLab Wow! Beautiful images. And interesting bundles of ??? They don’t quite look like contractile injection systems because the ends are tapered. CIS structures usually have a fixed diameter of the sheaths and tubes.

Happy to share a passion project from my PhD working with bacterial genetics and corals! This work wouldn’t have been possible without support from @morganvfarrell Alyssa Demko @DrJMSneed Valerie Paul @BradMoore_SIO @ShikumaLab

Stay tuned for the final version!

Come be my lab mate and join our quickly growing team tackling microbiome editing!

[Rubin Lab @therubinlab]

Join the team developing the new field of #microbiome editing! We are recruiting a jointly advised postdoc with Jennifer Doudna @doudna_lab to apply new CRISPR-Cas systems to editing clinically and environmentally relevant microbiomes.

[Micro Student Group @UCBerkeleyMicro]

Hi twitter friends! We’re thrilled to announce the return of Micro Student Symposium. Join us April 15, back in-person for the first time since 2019! 🦠🔬 Registration is free & open to all researchers/students interested in joining us #CalMicro2023

[ASM @ASMicrobiology]

For decades, Dr. Anthony Fauci has led with science to fight infectious disease. His leadership during the pandemic saved countless lives, & his commitment to evidence-based science is a key reason why public policies have been able to protect public health. ASM stands w/ Fauci.

[Cawa Tran, PhD @CawaTran]

Why you, regardless of where you are and what you do, should care and be outraged about this situation occurring at a small CSU in Northern California, @ChicoState: This kind of thing is pervasive in academia and science. 1/🧵

@alpinewaves @MarineMicrobio Hey Carolina! Thanks, awesome to see things are going well for you 😊

[Nick Shikuma @ShikumaLab]

Phenomenal scientists and research happening at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology @MarineMicrobio. It was an honor to be invited for a talk and chat about microbes.

[Nick Shikuma @ShikumaLab]

@CCRoggatz @MarineMicrobio Great to meet you too! Thank you for the thought provoking discussion.

@christo71213435 @MarineMicrobio Ohh I didn’t see them hiding in the front aquarium. But I did get a tour of the oligochaetes!
