🚨It’s been a long time coming, but…
using my first B. burgdorferi strain as a grad student — 11 years ago — now @NatureComms with @NICHD_NIH Adams Lab post-bacs, we corrected a gene annotation mistake and discovered a conserved flagellar assembly factor! https://t.co/DCOgkZ3skW
The cytoplasm is not necessarily chemically uniform, says Delerue, Updegrove, & @Sylvia_Char. Surface of the developing spore inside the #Bacillus subtilis mother cell is acidic & needs a chaperone to activate MurG (lipid II synthase)

Dear friends who write NSF GRFP rec letters, this year rec letters are due BEFORE the applications, so about 10 days earlier than normal on Oct. 11. Please don't let NSF's deadline change on rec letters screw over the applicants in your lives.
Want to join the conversation on how to celebrate the gains and envision a more inclusive @ascb? Tune into a conversation with @OuttoInnovate and @brunodra on making your ASCB more prideful! https://t.co/Sd5nJb4bS9
Do you have any talented biology/microbiology students who just graduated and need a job? Send them my way please. The Burton Lab is hiring a research tech.

Katelyn Cooper is an inspiration in and out of the classroom. Her lab at ASU seeks to make STEM classrooms more inclusive. Check out her labs most recent work and why being on the LGBTQ+ committee @ascb is so important. https://t.co/BIOw5jgxOh
Did you check out the latest @ascb newsletter? If not, take a look on the reflections on the LAGBTQ+ committee a decade into our mission of making a more inclusive society for all! #cellbio#pride2024#outinstem#LGBTQIA#queerinstem
We are #queerscientists and committed to #cellbio. Making @ascb a more inclusive and inviting society. Join the conversation. Tell us what what #pride as a cell biologist means to you! We welcome all voices.
LGBTQ+ Committee: Who We Are
This blog post highlights the voices and insights of several members of the ASCB LGBTQ+ Committee, sharing their perspectives on the significance of having a dedicated LGBTQ+ Committee within a scientific society.
https://t.co/df842H4XDT #pride
Over the next couple of weeks, we on the LGBTQ+ committee @ASCBiology would like to share why we think our work is important to our community. First up are our fearless leaders @brunodra and @ImgeOzugergin. #pride2024#cellbio. Join in the conversation!
Congratulations to you, Nymphia Wind @66wind99, for being so accomplished in the difficult art form of drag, and for being the first Taiwanese to take the stage and win on @RuPaulsDragRace.
Right after being crowned queen, you said “Taiwan, this is for you.”
Taiwan thanks you for living fearlessly.
Excited this work is fully published!
Key takeaway: yeast are using a complex that is more similar than previously thought to that of other eukaryotes (including humans) to methylate their mRNA!
Recent data by Park et al. suggests that Vir1p, the #yeast homolog of virilizer, is required for cells to initiate the meiotic program and for progression through the meiotic divisions and spore formation. #GENETICS | @ZachoryP | https://t.co/vx69XDTjSK

Yale has announced an across-the-board raise for postdocs, with salaries for 1st year postdocs starting at $65,000.
Plus, the administration is giving PIs extra funding (for one year) to cover funding gaps due to the new policy.
Seems like a good step!
