Here is our recent work on T7SSb LXG effectors and the proteins that are required for their secretion. Thank you to everyone that contributed to the work and to @mbiojournal for the valuable reviews and speedy publication. https://t.co/xwzzVXrF17

Dual targeting factors are required for LXG toxin export by the bacterial type VIIb secretion system https://t.co/lmUDKyzcyR #biorxiv_micrbio

Very pleased to see our review published in its final form today! Here we compare and contrast key features of the Type VII Secretion Systems found in Firmicutes and Actinobacteria. Hope you find it interesting! https://t.co/L5nkNtFf70

Glad to see this work in its final form. I couldn't have had better coauthors nor a better mentor (JCW). Thank you everyone for all the support! @dirk_grebenc @GandhiShil @McMasterIIDR @BBS_McMasterU

Illusionist James Randi devoted much of his career to debunking frauds. Seen as a lodestar by the ‘sceptical movement’ that confronts superstition and magical thinking with science and rationality, he famously collaborated with an editor of this journal. https://t.co/OfkPyrTIcl

For all the fans of bacterial physiology, novel structural biology, and in particular the type VII secretion system, do I ever have a paper for you! Check out the work we've been doing over the past two years on BioRxiv now. @McMasterIIDR @BBS_McMasterU https://t.co/fT1UCvQCjo
