Our study about S. aureus evolution on patients with atopic dermatitis is out! Check out a thread about all highlights by my awesome PI @conTaminatedsci back at @MIT. Shout out to @teresadefresa for enrolling patients, for @vedomics functional work, and the entire team. 🍾

[Tami Lieberman @conTaminatedsci]

Our paper on S aureus adaptation in atopic dermatitis is published in @cellhostmicrobe. Proud of this collaborative work led by @fm_key

Its been a while since the preprint, and there are some updates, so a thread is in order 🧵

[Louis L'Hote @louis_l_hote]

I am delighted to share my first first-author and the first paper of the @gingerhowley lab published in Nature Communications this 20th of July. An 8000 years old genome reveals the Neolithic origin of the zoonosis Brucella melitensis :

[Felix Key @fm_key]

First prehistoric Brucella genome from a sheep allows us to time stamp the evolution of a zoonotic pathogen and shows the power of moving ancient pathogen research into the zooarcheological record. Great work led by @GingerHowley & @louis_l_hote

[Tami Lieberman @conTaminatedsci]

MIT has a wonderful new postdoc fellowship program aimed at increasing ethnic and gender diversity at the postdoc stage. $75k/yr stipend and lots of support.

We have several great projects queued up around mutations within microbiomes -- get in touch!

I'm hiring a 3-year-Postdoc for my group at @MPI_EVA_Leipzig for archaeogenetic data analysis. https://t.co/fslhmbXS8z. Please RT and let people who are looking for jobs know. Thanks!

[Felix Key @fm_key]

Well said Aida, and what a party we miss. Kudos to @maxplanckpress for recognizing the potential in Svante and aDNA early on.

[Aida Andrés @AidaAndres]

Amazing news! For Svante obviously, but also for the department and the institute, and for the research field as a whole. So well deserved. I would love to be in Leipzig to help celebrate!
