@wm_schneider and I are delighted to announce the 2026/27 series of the Systems Virology Journal Club! 🦠 Join us to learn about fascinating studies introducing new methods and concepts in virology. Starting Oct 15 (this Thursday!)

Free registration: https://t.co/TERKeTEijC

Ok let me explain how cool this is from my perspective , please RT! I developed one of the first methods to probe RNA structure in high throughput inside living cells, and it takes tons of time and $$ to apply on thousands of viruses - it’s practically impossible. This ML approach is just as good and works in seconds for nearly free ! Not only that, it highlights the MOST IMPORTANT structures that track with function. It’s the future of RNA strucute prediction and discovery across all families 🔥 https://t.co/aAJOXI7xrN

[HHMI @hhmi_science]

Antibiotic resistance isn't just a genetic problem; it's ecological. Research from #HHMIInvestigator Harmit Malik & co shows that when a bacterium shares space w/ fungi, it can be pushed toward resistance it wouldn't develop alone — but w/ a built-in weakness https://t.co/TRakdEjo5r

[Ruzek Lab @LabRuzek]

What makes tick-borne and mosquito-borne flaviviruses different? Beyond their different vectors, our recent Nature Communications paper with @JiHoloubek as the first author reveals a key distinction — their maturation process 🦠🦟🔬

How did octopuses evolve novel traits? Rishav Mitra, Richard Han, Trey Scott, et al serendipitously discover a unique ribosome adaptation that increases the accuracy of protein synthesis and evolved alongside their elaborate nervous systems. https://t.co/r5ZJi2GHeV

[Utrecht Virology Lab @UtrechtVirology]

📢 We're hiring!

We are looking for an Assistant or Associate Professor to join our team at Utrecht University.

If you're excited about leading an independent research programme in a collaborative #virology community, we'd love to hear from you.

Please share! 👇🦠

[Kevin Forsberg @kvnforsberg]

Humans and bacteria share strategies to defend against viruses.

We wondered: could they use each other's genes? Yes, both can!

Bacteria can use human immune genes to defend against phages AND

Human cells can use bacterial genes for viral defense.

We’re recruiting at all levels—if you're curious about how fungi and bacteria compete and co-evolve, come join us!

[Science in Seattle @science_seattle]

Introducing ReLiC! 🤩

The Subramaniam Lab (@arvind_rasi) at @fredhutch and @uwgenome have published a scalable and high-throughput RNA-linked #CRISPR approach to measure the responses of RNA metabolic processes.

Check it out in @naturemethods: https://t.co/jCx582mt90

Our first article in this journal. Special issue coming in June edited by ⁦@BookerMan_PSU⁩ | ACS Bio & Med Chem Au https://t.co/RbGHHvDxcy

[Oded Rechavi @OdedRechavi]

WOW!! A new pre-print rethinking how mosquitoes, the world's deadliest animal, mates. Amazing work from Leah @LeahHouri (former PhD student in my lab) conducted in @leslievosshall's lab. Huge implications!
Leah found that contrary to what was previously thought, mosquito mating is a female-controlled process, and discovered a new active "lock and key" gating mechanism that controls mating. https://t.co/L3oGyZvKU8

Virology lost a giant last week. I and so many others have lost an advocate, mentor and friend. RIP, Ann. 💔 https://t.co/eDv257dolC

[Tamanash Bhattacharya @poly_microbial]

An excellent opportunity to work on some really cool biology. Nandan is not only a brilliant scientist and a fantastic mentor, he also knows how to make science fun!

[Nandan Gokhale @nandangokhale]

So excited to join the Division of Immunobiology at Cincinnati Children's Hospital MC in March 2025. My lab will study how RNA biology regulates and is regulated by infection and immunity.

We'll be hiring at all levels in 2025 - stay tuned!
