More than 40 percent of #postdocs leave academia. Those who landed a coveted faculty position were more likely to have had a highly cited paper, changed their research topic between their #PhD and postdoc, or moved abroad after receiving their doctorate. https://t.co/SkU2JVisuu @PNASNews -> https://t.co/GZKmXombKN #ScienceCareer
Our lab is recruiting postdocs with strong expertise in molecular microbiology and/or phage biology to work on different antibiotics-related projects (more info https://t.co/zkDrD2h3Aw). Please get in touch if interested (with CV and references)!
Research on the human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae suggests extracellular vesicles contribute to gene transfer in gram-positive bacteria and, in doing so, may promote the spread of drug resistance genes in the population. Learn more in @mSphereJ: https://t.co/jwkXOJRJDd

40 years ago today at 9.05am, Professor Sir Alec Jeffreys made the landmark discovery of the world’s first ‘genetic fingerprint’. 👉https://t.co/eHvWdUFw2U
Our researchers continue to innovate, and as #CitizensOfChange, we are dedicated to solving society’s most critical issues.
Evidence from omics that aging is not a gradual, linear process. The new study, highlighted here, only assessed people up to age 75 among 108 participants with short term follow-up (1.7 yrs). A previous large study (N>4,200, up to age 95) found a 3rd peak at age 80.
