The biofouling marine tube #worm, #Hydroides #elegans, is an indirect developing #polychaete and significant model organism in #developmentalbiology, #metamorphosis and the #evolution of #host-microbe interactions. @ShikumaLab doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.6…

Come be my lab mate and join our quickly growing team tackling microbiome editing!

Join the team developing the new field of #microbiome editing! We are recruiting a jointly advised postdoc with Jennifer Doudna @doudna_lab to apply new CRISPR-Cas systems to editing clinically and environmentally relevant microbiomes. Learn more ⬇️ aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF03866

Looking forward to this! Genetic Tools for New Model Organisms janelia.org/you-janelia/co…

Is immunity tied to development in a basal metazoan? Check out PhD student Emily Darin's poster at the Chicago @SocDevBio meeting tomorrow! 2pm - 4:30pm Poster # 542 Board # B106 #2023SDB

Register for the SoCal #microbiome #symposium at #UCR on 9/22/23!Awesome lineup: DianneNewman @mwallenstein @RoperLabUCR @DrSueIshaq @IvanVujovi3 AnselHsiao @MRebolleda @emmala! Hosted by @UCRiverside @UCI_Microbiome @CedarsSinai @UCSanDiego

Happy to share a passion project from my PhD working with bacterial genetics and corals! This work wouldn’t have been possible without support from @morganvfarrell Alyssa Demko @DrJMSneed Valerie Paul @BradMoore_SIO @ShikumaLab Stay tuned for the final version!

The second chapter of my PhD is live! A modular plasmid toolkit applied in marine Proteobacteria reveals functional insights during bacteria-stimulated metamorphosis biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/n)

Congratulations to @SDSU professor emeritus Stanley Maloy for being named a 2022 @aaas Fellow for his accomplishments as a microbiologist, entrepreneur and science advocate. newscenter.sdsu.edu/sdsu_newscente…

Hi twitter friends! We’re thrilled to announce the return of Micro Student Symposium. Join us April 15, back in-person for the first time since 2019! 🦠🔬 Registration is free & open to all researchers/students interested in joining us #CalMicro2023

For decades, Dr. Anthony Fauci has led with science to fight infectious disease. His leadership during the pandemic saved countless lives, & his commitment to evidence-based science is a key reason why public policies have been able to protect public health. ASM stands w/ Fauci.

Why you, regardless of where you are and what you do, should care and be outraged about this situation occurring at a small CSU in Northern California, @ChicoState: This kind of thing is pervasive in academia and science. 1/🧵

Phenomenal scientists and research happening at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology @MarineMicrobio. It was an honor to be invited for a talk and chat about microbes.

John Henry at the Aquatic Cell Biology meeting @Scripps_Ocean with automated aquatic systems for marine organism culturing (including #Hydroides!).

In 10 years of studying tubeworms, we discovered novel molecular syringes, made evolutionary connections to the human gut microbiome, and founded a biotech startup @Metamorphotech1. Can't wait to see what the next decade has in store for us.

Synthetic biology in marine microbes. Check out @Amanda_T_Alker‘s talk today at 16:35CEST at SynBio Day in Monaco or via live stream. @Metamorphotech1 @eureKAREfr

I'm excited and honored to be speaking tomorrow at SynBio Day 2022. Interested in synthetic biology for the protection of the planet? Check out the live stream below. linkedin.com/video/event/ur… @eureKAREfr @ShikumaLab @Metamorphotech1
