Micronaut 👨🚀 Postdoc @TraxLab @UCBerkeley. #actinomycete Previously in the @JFClab @deDuveInstitute #ecoli #bacteria ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-5093-
It is now my pleasure to officially announce the start of my Postdoctoral research in the @TraxLab to work on the peculiar physiology of S. coelicolor. From antibiotics to antibiotics, I will continue to work on bacteria !! #Postdoc #postdoctoral #UCLouvain #UCBerkeley
Fascinated by the new paper of @MDMlab_Paris and @HelenaShomar on Lanthiphages. It connects to my work on the Cvn8 conservon system in Streptomyces coelicolor, showing the diverse strategies Actinos use against pages. #Microbiology #Actinos
🚨Super excited to share our pre-print describing how we used genomics to discover a family of anti-phage lanthipeptides from Actinobacteria 🦠 This marks a significant expansion in the number of bacterial natural products involved in chemical defense. A thread 👇: @MDMlab_Paris
🌟Congrats to our own Dr. Monika on joining @UBCBotany and @ubcforestry as Assistant Professor! 💪 We are incredibly excited for the launch of the Fischer Fire Fungi Lab this fall. Best of luck, @MonikaSFischer! You've made our team proud! 🔥🍄 #TeamSuccess #UBC #FireFungiLab
Thrilled to announce that I will be joining @UBCBotany and @ubcforestry as an Assistant Professor very soon! Stay tuned for updates from the Fischer Fire Fungi Lab, opening this fall in beautiful, fungiful, Vancouver, BC! 🔥🍄🔥
Not every week in science are great week... BUT.... Some teas, definitely coffee and amazing colleagues such as @MonikaSFischer put you back in track to nail it after all! #Science #failureisok
My latest @newscientist cartoon. #science #discoveries
Thrilled to have attended #GRCSTIM2024 on Sensory Transduction in microorganisms in Ventura, California! 🧫 Thanks for the insightful discussions with my amazing labmates @varunsridharr and @TraxLab. Here's to the science journey! 📸 #ScienceConference #TeamScience #ResearchLife
Ken is obviously S. coelicolor... the weirdo in the middle of all the bacterial dogmas 😉🤷♂️ @s_coelicolor #scoelicolor #traxlab @TraxLab
E. coli, P. aeruginosa, B. subtilis
Coming from "Usually-on-fire" California to "Green and water-friendly" New Hampshire... But finally, I ended up in smoke and barbecue smell anyway 😅🤦♂️🤦♂️ #BacCell23 #StaySafe #NewHampshire
Smoke from Canadian wildfires may cause poor air quality Today in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. More: epa.gov/newsreleases/c…
Getting ready for the GRC to kick off ! 🥳🥳. So great to spend time with current and former labmates ! @JovanaKaljevic @RemyOphe @LalouxLab @possiblyLuis @s_coelicolor @TraxLab #BacCell23 #TraxLab
Whitehouse released much awaited executive order report 🔥 on “Bold goals for biotech & biomanufacturing” One of the 😳goals: “In 5 years, sequence the genomes of one million microbial species and understand the function of at least 80% of the newly discovered genes” 🤯
It's like Kevin McCarthy is trying to get an R01 funded.
We are very happy 🥳 to share our new story about how prey cell size modulates the cell cycle of #Bdellovibrio, an intracellular #predator! A short (thread: 3) and unusual summary below🧐🤩 RT and feedback are appreciated! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I stand in strong solidarity with the 48,000 academic workers at the University of California who are on strike for higher wages, better child care benefits, and expanded paid leave.
Today, everyone knows who's got the power. Now it's time for @UofCalifornia to settle fair contracts with all 48,000 workers who make this University run. @UAWonStrike #FairUCnow fairucnow.org/support
Apparently the @BerkeleyUAW2865 and @UAW5810 just gained the support of my cat 😹😹😹 #UAW2865 #UAWonStrike #UAW5810 #Sruuaw #FairUCNow
No GSR! No Streptomyces in the lab! #UAWonStrike #UAWstrike #actino #SciComm
