We are eager for feedback from our community as we prepare for journal submission – hoping to go back-to-back with another group who has discovered this ClpCP adaptor via a completely different route. Stay tuned…

Rivka (@rli22) and I met in 2001 in Pam Silver’s lab and have been collaborating ever since we both became PIs at @kclchemistry (Rivka) and @mtholyoke (me). We’ve published together before but are thrilled to share our big story that goes back a decade!

A novel ClpC adaptor protein that functions in the developing Bacillus subtilis spore https://t.co/YBbYglW4Ym #biorxiv_micrbio

Through a range of genetic, microbiological, biochemical, and biophysical assays we discovered that the Bacillus subtilis protein YjbA functions as a novel adaptor for the ClpCP protease during spore development.

The @mtholyoke biology department is seeking a visiting instructor to teach Microbiology with lab in Spring 2024. A great opportunity to gain teaching experience in a small liberal arts college setting. Please share, and msg me directly with questions/how to apply.

[Amy Hitchcock Camp @amycamp]

I typically teach this course and could share class and lab materials. I would also be happy to serve as a mentor, as I will not be on leave but rather teaching another course.

[Amy Hitchcock Camp @amycamp]

@gramnegativity Would love one if still available!

[Bryan Dewsbury @BMDewsbury]

Hi all,

It is my pleasure to launch the HHMI Biointeractive and SEAS program's FREE course on 'Inclusive Teaching'. More than anything, this course asks us amidst the haste to slow down, pause and reflect on being human-centered in teaching .

@Aisha_Burton @CornellMicrobio Congratulations!!! So excited for you and your future colleagues and students!!!

[Amy Hitchcock Camp @amycamp]

@DrPhilipAdams @goleylab Your talk was fantastic — beautiful in fact!!! So great to see you again, here’s hoping our path cross again soon.

@han_arbach @AllenInstitute Congratulations Hannah, you are amazing!!!

[Amy Hitchcock Camp @amycamp]

@RamamurthiLab @Dr_Savage_Sci Oh Kumaran, this is heartbreaking news 💔 A huge loss—for her loved ones, colleagues, our microbiology community, and science. I always looked forward to seeing Christina at conferences and hearing her latest discoveries about B subtilis sporulation. She will be deeply missed.

@sexinnature @aaas Congratulations Patty you are amazing, this is so well deserved!!!

[Amy Hitchcock Camp @amycamp]

@LauraBundesen I’m so sorry Laura ❤️ Sending you and your mother and family peace and love
