Our latest review is now live! Check out our thoughts on how the filamentous lifestyle of Actinomycetes and their ability to make a diverse array of natural products may be connected 👇: https://t.co/j3kgaxqfnU
Our recent work on Actinobacterial G protein systems is live on bioRxiv! These regulatory systems are conserved in Actinomycetota and are involved in secondary metabolism, phage defense, and cellular development. Check out the preprint here: https://t.co/LxRHUe7jcS
"UBC Forestry has an incredible research community representing a broad diversity of approaches and perspectives."🍄🔥
Meet @MonikaSFischer, the newest #UBCForestry and @UBCBotany Assistant Professor👋
💡 Get to know her in our latest In The Spotlight: https://t.co/wJgmQw6Y5T
@HelenaShomar@MDMlab_Paris Thank you! The Actino's world is still full of mysteries. We are looking forward to more cross-disciplinary discoveries. The BGC and their regulation are such a cool field of research 😎
🚨Super excited to share our pre-print describing how we used genomics to discover a family of anti-phage lanthipeptides from Actinobacteria 🦠
This marks a significant expansion in the number of bacterial natural products involved in chemical defense.

🌟Congrats to our own Dr. Monika on joining @UBCBotany and @ubcforestry as Assistant Professor! 💪 We are incredibly excited for the launch of the Fischer Fire Fungi Lab this fall. Best of luck, @MonikaSFischer! You've made our team proud! 🔥🍄 #TeamSuccess#UBC#FireFungiLab
Thrilled to announce that I will be joining @UBCBotany and @ubcforestry as an Assistant Professor very soon! Stay tuned for updates from the Fischer Fire Fungi Lab, opening this fall in beautiful, fungiful, Vancouver, BC! 🔥🍄🔥
Super stoked to share this paper, now in its final form @Environmicrobi !! Thanks to the reviewers who helped us improve our story that began with a totally epic time-series of post-fire soil samples and ends with a dynamic and pyrophilous subcommunity!

Not ideal that I'm losing my voice the day I needed to give my talk at #MSAfungi23! But the Fungi and Fire session this morning was awesome! 🍄🍄🔥🔥@sydneyglassman@MonikaSFischer
Enjoying the progress of Mira's amazing work with post-fire microbes @TraxLab! Glad to see you again since our great time at Dubrovnik #SSAMM2022! Love these academic connections ❤️ #ASP2023
Massive CONGRATS to newly minted Dr. @NeemJPatel !!! 🎉🎉🎉 Absolutely phenomenal Phinishing Talk. My heart is bursting 🥹. It’s been such and honor and a privilege to be her postdoc mentor and partner in science! Watch out, cause she’s on fire!!🔥 @TraxLab@PMB_Berkeley
Having a data/file organizing day and realized I never finished my annual tradition of updating this plot of CA wildfires (total acres burned +highlighting specific named fires that burned >100,000acres). 2022 was a phenomenally moist year, with nary a fire >100K!🔥
Student-focused one-day microbiology conference at UC Berkeley next month!!! Open to all! Registration is FREE! ....as a former chair of this event, I'm totally biased in saying this is one of the most awesome micro events ever. Come hang, share your work, met new micro-pals!
Best papers of 2022 in ecology and evolution, according to members of Mordecai (@morde), Peay (@mykophile), and Fukami labs at @Stanford
