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

Huge congrats to the newly minted Dr. Luis Cantu Morin (aka @s_coelicolor) for graduating and for an incredible finishing talk!!

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

@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 😎

[Traxler Lab @TraxLab]

Excited to see research uncovering a family of anti-phage lanthipeptides in Actinos. Including systems related to our work on Cvn8 in Streptomyces! Great work of @MDMlab_Paris and @HelenaShomar

🚨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

[Monika Fischer @MonikaSFischer]

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!

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!🔥

[Monika Fischer @MonikaSFischer]

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!
