Our paper in #cephalopods #cuttlefish is out! With beautiful- interesting results

[Holly L. Lutz @fieldomics]

Check out our latest work on #cephalopods - Cuttlefish #FISH and a simple #microbiome. A new experimental system perhaps? @microtabi @gilbertjacka @NeilGottel @camouGuy @MBLScience @CMIdigest @microbiomecntr https://t.co/FilSsZiCN8

Have you ever tried hybridizing a biofilm with no success? Our new paper provides a universal solution for visualizing all bacteria in polymicrobial communities by physically slicing through the cell wall barrier before FISH. 🔬✨ Check it out!

#MicrobiologyMonday: Seeing all bacteria in a biofilm is tough—G+ cells walls block probes, and fixes harm G- cells. A new method slices bacteria embedded in plastic resin, letting probes in without damage for clear visualization. #JournalSpectrum:

Why do bacteria live in specific parts of the mouth? Forsyth scientists have been working to answer this question. @julian_tom and the @JMarkWelch / Gary Borisy labs recently published a paper that adds to our understanding. Read the full article here https://t.co/2fCas807fJ

[Julian Torres Morales @julian_tom]

I am thrilled to share with you my recently published work showcasing the distribution of Gemella species in the oral cavity using metapangenomics. This accomplishment was made possible by the extraordinary team at @Forsyth. Congratulations!

You can't leave out microbes when talking about the tongue! @ScienceMagazine's deep dive covered it all and featured some Forsyth imaging. Scroll to the bottom of the article to see @JMarkWelch's explanation of microbial communities on the tongue. https://t.co/BUDYanQW8Y

Congratulations to Dr. Gary Borisy for receiving an S10 grant to purchase the Zeiss LSM 980 microscope!

[Boston Bacterial Meeting (BBM) @BostonBacteria]

Just one more day left to register! For more information and to register please visit: https://t.co/37z9eVv5vP

[The ADA Forsyth Institute @ForsythResearch]

We are glad to see @microtabi 's work featured on the poster for the Boston Bacterial Meeting! Dr. Ramirez-Puebla explains, "This image shows a dense and diverse microbial community around a core of human tongue cells."

[CJohnstonLab @CJohnstonLab1]

Finally, two papers out within a day of each other from the @BullmanLab and @CJohnstonLab1 relating to the intratumoral microbiota, today in @Nature (https://t.co/crU4Azm6Ck) and yesterday in @CellReports (https://t.co/ESITlazD6h). 🧵below to those interested!

[Vivikarina @vivikamorillo]

Our paper with @JMarkWelch, @MBLScience Revealing the microhabitat taxon specificity in corncobs structures of dental plaque is out! Here the link https://t.co/33B1GpGeXn

[Cynthia Wolberger @CWolberger]

At a recent conference, most talks ended with an ad for postdocs. Unchanged @NIH modular budgets, low postdoc salaries, visa complications, uncertain career prospects, are problems. Yet the U.S. research model depends on postdocs. Something has to change.

Take a look at the bacteria on "your" tongue in this #FluorescenceFriday
😛🔬👩🏽‍🔬This is the kind of fun research we do @ForsythResearch

Microbial biofilm on #Bullkelp blades #MicroscopyMonday #Nereocystis

[Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) @MBLScience]

#MicroscopyMonday🔬| Kelp forests can tower up to 150 feet high, but like many living things, kelp survival depends on microorganisms associated with its surface. This image of kelp blade shows microbial biofilm on both sides of the blade.

Welcome Dr. Jessica Mark Welch who has joined Forsyth as a senior faculty member of staff. Dr. Welch studies the spatial organization of microbial communities using spectral imaging microscopy and genomic techniques.

[Tabita Ramirez @microtabi]

So excited to present my work at #Bostonbacterial22! See you Monday 🔬🧫👩🏻‍🔬

[Boston Bacterial Meeting (BBM) @BostonBacteria]

We are so excited to hear more about the cool science happening in the Boston area! Here is a thread of the talks happening at the Microbiomes & Microbial Communities session: #Bostanbacterial22

[Tabita Ramirez @microtabi]

Thrilled to see our paper on #kelp #microbiome out!
