@FridgeComics gets a tiny facelift! Check out more comic bits at @FridgeComics on Instagram and Twitter!!




Happy to share our new paper in @NatureMicrobiol on mapping spatial relationships of the human gut microbiome. We identified distinct spatial hubs between gut bacteria that reflect sub-community assemblies at the micron-scale. Led by Miles Richardson & co nature.com/articles/s4156…
Any microbiologist out here who has been using Chatbots for their bioinformatics/computational needs? I want to know more about their experience. Please RT for visibility! 🙂
Please spread the word! We have an opening in the Atkinson lab for a post-doc with a focus on molecular mechanisms of microbial immune systems. Can be a fully computational or experimental or hybrid project. Read more & apply here: lu.varbi.com/en/what:job/jo… #phage #Bioinformatics
One of the more sobering realizations from the @KeystoneSymp was the immediate impact of the events unfolding in the US—scientists unable to travel, unable to present, and unable to submit their exciting research.
For a new editor like me, conferences are the best way to meet amazing researchers and show them the face behind those emails requesting them to review manuscripts. 😄😄 #KSHostMicrobe25
My thoughts when I graduated with a PhD:
I'm smart enough to know that I'm dumb.
🤯🤯
With @jrpenades, we challenged AI co-scientist @GoogleAI to generate hypotheses. In just 2 days, it recapitulated our unpublished, experimentally confirmed mechanism for how cf-PICIs spread between bacterial species! 🤯 @imperialcollege @FlemingCentre tinyurl.com/3byyaeh2
Sulforaphane, found in broccoli sprouts, has been shown to reduce blood sugar levels in individuals with prediabetes – according to a study published in @NatureMicrobiol. go.nature.com/3X75pZH
Disappointing to see that retraction rate is twice the global average for papers originating from India 😞
Exclusive: These universities have the most retracted scientific articles A first-of-its-kind analysis reveals which institutions are retraction hotspots Read the full story here: go.nature.com/4gMhkmG
Come work with us! We have a PhD position on the analysis of longitudinal microbiome data in large population cohorts. This position is part of ExposomeNL consortium and will be embedded in @UMCGgenetica and @GroMicrobiome . werkenbijumcg.nl/-/vacatures/ph… Application deadline 2 March
This is like AlphaFold, but for protein localisation rather than folding It's a deep learning model that predicts a protein's subcellular compartment based on its amino acid sequence alone:
Spectacular!

It was my first presentation as an editor and I couldn't have enjoyed it more. Super friendly and quite curious audience. Loved it. 😊
Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming the publishers of @NatureMicrobiol. During this session, we hosted the seminar "Publishing in Nature Microbiology," which featured an engaging presentation by Atin Sharma, Associate Editor.
I am looking for a #PostDoc in the frame of this exciting project. Somebody out there willing to work with #microbiome metabolic modelling and some #archaea? Please contact me, or check the link below, for some details.
We are recruiting!! Are you interested in Immunometabolism research? We have open Postdoc and PhD positions in within our Special Research Progamme (SFB) to study the metabolic interplay of macrophages with tissue cells: immunometabolism.at/job-openings/ Please RT! #immunometabolism
One new position is available in our interdisciplinary group located in the north of Sweden @mims_umea @UmeaUniversity🌟If you are passionate about science then it is time to apply!🙌Looking forward to your application! 🙂
