Bacteria don’t just shut down under starvation — they rewire gene expression.
Our study shows how (p)ppGpp directly activates transcription programs during nutrient limitation.

Crosstalk between guanosine nucleotides regulates cellular heterogeneity in protein synthesis during nutrient limitation

Thinking about biological collections lately I'm reminded of the time that somehow at age 4, I got a personal tour of the @UCBerkeley entomology collection (Essig?) from a kind scientist (anybody know who?!). Asked my parents how on earth THAT happened, and it turns out...🤯

@ProfTomEllis @FeagaHeather @benjaminbarad except that >90% of the bacteria in the world are not growing and probably not making very many ribosomes. busy staying alive.

🚨 We are hiring! 🚨

Please RT: We are looking for an enthusiastic and creative postdoc to join our team in beautiful NYC to study the (de-)regulation of RNA turnover and RNA quality control pathways during viral infection.

@ckinzthompson wow - Kittel is one my heroes! I'm sitting at my desk looking at my undergrad textbook Thermal Physics by Kittel and Kroemer - probably to most elegant textbook in science I've ever used

@rosenthal_adam Hi Adam, Many thanks for the plug! I'm very into your bioRxiv paper - so cool! I'd love to chat some time about this technique and how it might be applied. Cheers,Jonathan

@kjhealy Respect. As they say, 'takes one to know one'

@Curiostory_bio Hello! Email is fine: [email protected]

[Jonathan Dworkin @dworkinlab]

The Dworkin Lab (@dworkinlab) at Columbia U in NYC has funded postdoc openings to study entry and exit from quiescence in bacteria. Other areas of interest include phenotypic heterogeneity and the energetics of bacterial spores. Pls contact directly if interested, and pls RT.

All 4 of the biggest technical advances in the history of biotech - recombinant DNA, sequencing, PCR, genome editing - require enzymes from bacteria.

So is Kaepernick taking a knee still an inappropriate way to protest?

[Dr. Michael D. L. Johnson @blacksciblog]

To be clear, if Black people did this, they'd have been shot dead.

A virus is not anyone’s instrument of moral retribution- the AIDS crisis taught that. But it is nature’s implacable bullshit detector.

Phosphine gas is used as a dopant in semiconductor manufacturing to create n-type silicon. Phosphine was just discovered in the clouds of Venus. The obvious conclusion is that there is life on Venus and it is manufacturing semiconductors.

@rubenlgonzalez worth every penny!

Was just introduced by the session chair at the #cshltranscon meeting at being from #JonathanDworkin’s lab! 🙄🤣 I wonder if this means I can get Jonathan to pay my salary? 🤣

People don’t get it. The only reason last month 25 people died of axes in their head was because they all asked someone if they had an axe in their head. If they hadn’t asked, they wouldn’t have died. But the Socialists don’t understand that. Remember: Don’t Ask, No Axe!

@FrankBednarz @florian_krammer This is awesome 😂😂
