St. Louis to Boston! Postdoc at Tufts👨‍🔬🍷🏳️‍🌈

[Cell Host & Microbe @cellhostmicrobe]

Protection against C. diff by avirulent strain:
@sciissue_077 show avirulent C. difficile isolate ST1-75 outcompetes virulent C. difficile to protect mice from colitis, likely by depleting amino acids. ST1-75 has biotherapeutic potential for recurrent CDI

So excited to be part of this forum to celebrate LGBTQ+ STEM Day, and for the chance to present my work in @ShenLabTufts on the unique mechanism underlying cell division in C. difficile (and likely other important Clostridia)! See below to register for this inaugural meeting!

[Pride in Microbiology @prideinmicro]

Our 1st Pride in STEM Day Virtual Symposium is next MONDAY! Check out the speakers of the Environmental and Applied Microbiology Session🌈 🌱 🔬
Join us on November 18 & learn about the science shaping our community

It has been 10 years since I started doing Western blots in the lab. Wow, what a rollercoaster!
Based on my successes and failures, here are some tips for perfect Western blots. A thread (1/5)…

[Greg Harrison @mostly_microbes]

@hualiang2018 @asm It was amazing catching up with you and hearing about your lab’s latest discoveries! Those images of ferrosomes keep getting cooler and cooler 🤩 I hope we cross paths again soon at a future meeting!

[Greg Harrison @mostly_microbes]

@Emy_nim @hualiang2018 @hoanghamyy @chattergenius It was so much fun! I’m looking forward to hearing about your next chapter. I hope we cross paths again soon at a future meeting!

[Greg Harrison @mostly_microbes]

It was such a pleasure convening a bacterial/archaeal cell biology session at #ASMMicrobe featuring incredible talks on bacterial/phage vesicles, carboxysome trafficking, and archaeal decision-making by @hualiang2018 @Emy_nim @hoanghamyy and @chattergenius - mind-blowing work!🤯

[Greg Harrison @mostly_microbes]

@DesSidDes @CUAnschutz Congratulations Sidd!! 🥳 Such exciting news!!!

[Greg Harrison @mostly_microbes]

@sciissue_077 Congratulations Qiwen!! Fascinating work!

[Qiwen Dong @sciissue_077]

Following up our Cell Reports paper, an avirulent C. difficle clinical isolate out-competes virulent strains in mice via quickly depleting multiple amino acids, and protects mice from developing colitis!

[Greg Harrison @mostly_microbes]

@alfmireles @NDscience @UNDResearch @NotreDame Congratulations Ana!! 🥳 Such exciting news!

[Woolston Lab @WoolstonLabNEU]

New preprint! https://t.co/I8uywMK7IM Genome engineering in Clostridia is arduous. With help from @jgi we screened a large library of recombinases to enable oligo recombineering in E. limosum. The library is based on widely used Clostridial parts and available for others to use

[Greg Harrison @mostly_microbes]

@BobbaSuhas @KhaderShabaana Congratulations Suhas!! 🥳 Amazing work!

[Greg Harrison @mostly_microbes]

@jkimmey @UCSC_Research Wow! Congratulations Jacqueline!!! So well deserved!

[Greg Harrison @mostly_microbes]

@m_strent @mSphereJ It’s really inspiring work! I’m grateful I had the chance to highlight it!

[Greg Harrison @mostly_microbes]

Thanks to @mSphereJ for giving me the chance to highlight these landmark studies from the labs of Tom Silhavy, Natacha Ruiz, and @m_strent! Super cool that the commentary came out within days of a new study describing the AsmA-like proteins in Pseudomonas: https://t.co/dfEfkjDqox

[mSphere @mSphereJ]

#mSphere of Influence: Gregory Harrison reflects on studies that employ complementary genetic approaches to define the crucial role of AsmA-family proteins in transporting phospholipids between the inner and outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria. https://t.co/oZXvOQLusI

"But I have this fear that some #science students avoid branching out, not because they don’t want to, but because they believe they’re not supposed to." #AcademicChatter https://t.co/ZHJ8BSJxHP

[Greg Harrison @mostly_microbes]

@AnanyaG_ @ARNm17 @StallingsLab @FredrikAlmqvis1 @gjpattij Thank you Ananya!

[Greg Harrison @mostly_microbes]

Can’t believe this is out!! This is the culmination of >6yr of work to define the mode of action of the compound C10 in Mtb. There’s a LOT we still don’t know about this remarkable compound, but proud of the work accomplished with @StallingsLab @FredrikAlmqvis1 @gjpattij labs! 😃

[mBio @mbiojournal]

Using a small molecule to dissect the physiology and antibiotic susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, work from the @StallingsLab reveals new mechanisms to sensitize this dangerous pathogen to existing antibiotics. #mBio https://t.co/oYsY20JpuR

[Greg Harrison @mostly_microbes]

Just came across this fantastic piece by @Magnetic_Megan in @CellChemBiol - great suggestions for cultivating belonging and creativity in science!

[Megan Ken MD PhD @Magnetic_Megan]

Big thanks to @CellChemBiol for inviting me to write a story for their 30th anniversary special issue on RNA, its wonderful to be part of this vibrant community!
