New preprint! We have assigned adenosylcobalamin (a biologically active form of vitamin B₁₂) as the ligand of a previously orphan riboswitch that controls expression of the rpfB-ksgA-ispE operon, involved in the resuscitation of Mtb from dormancy. Read https://t.co/KHL0TeVitk.

So, in March, I decided to open a Substack account to write about music and other things. This is my second post. It's about @diamondplatnumz's gains in Amapiano.

Amazing tribute to your grandmother @TerryKipkorir. Her life is truly inspirational.

[Terry Kipkorir @TerryKipkorir]

On this year's #InternationalWomensDay    I would like to celebrate all the women in my life beginning with my person @wsambu, my mom and sisters, and my grandmother, Taplulei, of whom I plan to someday write a biography! Her life is one of such courage and hope...

Tomorrow, I'll moderate a session discussing Somalia's admission into @jumuiya. Dr. Bashir Sheikh-Ali, who wrote on this for @HIPSINSTITUTE, and my good friend @SylWekesa, will share their insights on the topic. I welcome you all, especially the citizens of Jumuiya & IGAD.

[Winnie Sambu @wsambu]

@rideyourcity @ProfSrilaRoy Agreed!

@edowino @QuietStorm254 @s_chepkorir @rollybishop @s_chepkorir @QuietStorm254 have you two considered writing a book together about music evolution in the region? I would love to read it.

I am hiring several pre docs/research assistants in Medellin. RT! Apply!

Past RAs have regularly gone on to top-10 PhD programs or to great policy careers. My earliest field RAs are now professors at top universities.

Too many pre-docs are US-based and focused on data analysis. This is a chance to learn the craft of field research—primary data collection, quasi/randomized experiment design, team management, government relationships, data management, etc.

3 positions open:

1) Senior research assistant (Typically has an MA and previous RA or managerial experience): https://t.co/nyIOtczh9W

2) Research assistant (typically a high performing recent undergraduate, ideally with some RA experience): https://t.co/WOpgBO0MpP

3) Research analyst (typically a recent undergraduate, more of a technical support staff, looking for an entry-level step in a research analyst position): https://t.co/1hB7Yif3mL

If you are not sure which to apply to, apply to one and we will sort you, or apply to more than one (same materials) and we will figure it out.

Finally, this is one of the most beautiful cities in the world with the best weather. Also a mecca for cuclists and climbers.

[Centre for Transport Studies @CfTSAfrica]

Call for abstracts: African Conference on Transport Research (ATRC) 2024, to be hosted by the Volvo Research and Education Foundations and @CfTSAfrica. We invite you to submit extended abstracts with a word limit of 1500 – 2000 words. See details below:

Very excited about attending @transport_sa #SATC2023 conference with @rideyourcity. I am looking forward to what I am sure will be interesting conversations.

With my person @wsambu relaxing to a peaceful rendering of Edgar's serenade on strings directed by the incomparable @sueperkins on this final day of @MaryleboneFest in Central London. Great music outdoors can really quench the heat of summer.
