Big news, friends! I've joined "Kurzgesagt โ In a Nutshell" @Kurz_Gesagt as a Researcher & Fact-Checker ๐ฆ๐ป๐ Basically I get to nerd out over science with wildly creative people every day. Dream job! ๐ Go watch their stuff if you havenโt already! youtube.com/@kurzgesagt
Funded #PhD project to work with me, @DrSelvaDhan, @andymitch20, @arwynedwards, & @LindaOyama on zoonotic bacterial pathogens and their mobile genetic elements, available through the OneZoo DTP: findaphd.com/phds/project/mโฆ Please share!
My labโs 5-year NIH R01 grant, awarded to study gene therapy for hearing loss, was abruptly terminated. I want to share how this action has been incredibly harmful and disruptive, not just to my lab, but to the scientific process itself. 1/15
I've launched a Patreon to share progress + exclusive insight into the creation of our graphic novel. It's about Fanny Angelina Hesse & the introduction of agar to the laboratory. Please support us! You can also sign up for free (w/o bonus content) ๐ patreon.com/corradonai
Yay! Published today in PNAS: multi-toxin T6SS attacks can limit resistance evolution in competitors. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnโฆ
(1/6) Really jazzed to have this out - my first @wellcometrust fellowship paper! biorxiv.org/content/10.110โฆ Can bacteria evolve resistance to competitors' T6SS weaponry? We find that the answer depends on **how many toxins** competitors are using. A thread:
