[Wild Microbes @WildMicrobes]

We are thrilled to announce the close of a $3.3M Pre-Seed round, funded by @climatecap, Freeflow Ventures, @AgronomicsLtd, @FallLineCapital, and a network of climate-focused angels.

Stay tuned, folks, more microbes to come 🦠🦠🦠

We are hiring a Head of Product. Come join us, and bring our strains to their full potential!

We are Hiring! Specifically I am looking for a Research Assistant to work with me directly in the lab. If you know anyone looking for a new opportunity or anyone who will be graduating this spring, please tell them apply at https://t.co/m4Ad1V4vXk Please distribute widely.

Hey @harvard — maybe you could do this across the whole university? Salary minimum at FAS/SEAS is still $52K and doesn’t even increase over time…

[Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis @COVIDOversight]

Parents have been waiting many months for vaccines for their young children.

They deserve to hear from @US_FDA why this lengthy process has been in children’s best interests.

First article from my post doc! Big win for everyone involved! Thank you for making this happen. @Quinn_Labs @ISMEJournal @DVGMicrobe @cmartinhdz #sheblindedmewithscience #WomenInSTEM #microbiome #microbiology #cysticfibrosis #pathogenesis #antibiotics https://t.co/JdH3m9PgeI

Best way to get to know your new bacteria? Infect it with phage! Check out my preprint 👇 where I used tn-seq to find phage resistance in Corynebacteria and ID'd new genes involved in mycolata envelope assembly

[Brendan O'Hara @Hydroxide_ion]

Happy to finally have my preprint out in the world! I isolated phage from stool to identify anti-phage systems on conserved V. cholerae genomic islands

The Vibrio cholerae Seventh Pandemic islands act in tandem to defend against a circulating phage https://t.co/BS4ro2tXPi

if this isn’t an argument for >6 weeks of paid family leave I don’t know what is.

[Harvard FAS Postdoc Association @faspda]

#HarvardPostdocSurvey | In conclusion, we strongly recommend that @Harvard amend its salary guidelines for FAS/SEAS postdocs urgently. Harvard has committed itself to being actively anti-racist and anti-xenophobic. (1/4)

[Harvard FAS Postdoc Association @faspda]

this! we need to talk about how taking a job that pays ~3x less than what one could make in industry is a privilege that many can't afford + how this contributes to an increasing lack of diversity as we go up the academic hierarchy

Harvard childcare centers will be closed for the first three weeks of January, while @harvard is expecting parents to continue working, finding other care solutions on a short notice. #anxiety #stress #covid @ewarren

[Harvard FAS Postdoc Association @faspda]

The FAS PDA has sent a letter to @Harvard admin urging them to reverse their decision to close campus childcare facilities in January. Here's a summary:

(1) Harvard expects postdocs to continue to their research during this time, so they need to enable safe, reliable childcare.

[Harvard FAS Postdoc Association @faspda]

Good morning #Harvard #Postdocs! Start your day by filling out our annual #PostdocSurvey. Last year 350 postdocs responded: this year we're hoping to #Reach400. Your responses help us #advocate for postdocs with Harvard admin and offices. Using last year's survey... 1/3

1st paper of my PhD is on bioRxiv!
Bacteria receive secret messages from kin during migration. We show that a conserved serine transporter enables self recognition. Molecular co-option of nutrient uptake may constrain the evolution of “message” proteins.
