@chadisaadroy.bsky.socialReposted by @bjesseshapiro.bsky.socialVery excited to share our latest paper, with my terrific student @prakharj.bsky.social, and wonderful collaborators Dan Coombs, Caroline Wagner, and @troyday.bsky.social
We use simple models to explore how interventions could mitigate post-infection morbidity
@vscooper.micropopbio.orgReposted by @bjesseshapiro.bsky.socialGlad to share this new Microbial Primer on Mirror Biology written w/ Jolien Sweere. It's free to all in the @microbiologysociety.org
journal Microbiology, edited by Steve Diggle.
Thanks for this opportunity to outline our scientific knowledge of this significant topic.

@michaelhendricks.bsky.socialReposted by @bjesseshapiro.bsky.socialTHERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE PROJECT GRANT PROGRAM EXCEPT IT IS UNDERFUNDED. Breaking it, redesigning it, etc, cannot fix this.
@michaelhendricks.bsky.socialReposted by @bjesseshapiro.bsky.socialMore CIHR musings, because I think we don't actually know what's going on in important ways that might influence how we think about prospective solutions. These are questions CIHR could answer if it wanted to.
@surtlab.bsky.socialReposted by @bjesseshapiro.bsky.socialPSA for those submitting genome assemblies to NCBI… Had a complete bacterial genome submitted and stuck at “processing” since April. It took one email and it’s being released soon. Know I’m not the only one in that boat
@danielbolnick.bsky.socialReposted by @bjesseshapiro.bsky.socialNot sure I’ve ever seen an essay that so precisely hits the mark as this. Read it. Share it.
@pavelpayne.bsky.socialReposted by @bjesseshapiro.bsky.socialI'm really excited to share my latest research paper with the world. It has been a long and bumpy road to finish this project and get it published, but finally, it is out!

@richardsever.bsky.socialReposted by @bjesseshapiro.bsky.socialAs AI increases both productivity & ease of creating slop, there's a big challenge for those of us disseminating science. This from @pracheeac.bsky.social is an essential read.

@aharms485.bsky.socialReposted by @bjesseshapiro.bsky.socialCover image alert 🎨🚨👇🏼 - check out the amazing drawing of Sophia Zimmermann from our group in Nature Microbiology @natmicrobiol.nature.com !
Fun fact: Sophia initially drew it as a present to Dorentina @humollidorentina.bsky.social when we celebrated her recent paper on TnSeq with phages 🥂😊.

@dannagifford.bsky.socialReposted by @bjesseshapiro.bsky.social📣 New preprint: We looked at population survival and recovery of the thermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius at near-boiling temperatures—conditions that occur in its environmental niche.

@sciria.bsky.socialReposted by @bjesseshapiro.bsky.socialPleased to share my first preprint from my postdoc, where I ask what drives mobile DNA movement between bacterial cells in complex communities like the gut microbiome. To answer this, we built a way to capture mobile DNA in the act of moving between cells, using short-read metagenomics. 🧵
@vincentburrus.bsky.socialReposted by @bjesseshapiro.bsky.social#plasmidbiology #plasmid Just out! 🚀 Thrilled by our discovery: the function of the C-terminal domain of MOBH1 relaxases! We uncovered this thanks to a fertility inhibitor encoded by a parasitic mobile genetic element. Congrats to Florence on a great piece of work! 👏
