Attention Nashville parents, save the date for a great (and free) event that teaches kids about the exciting world of microbes!! 🦠 🔬

Excited to share the latest pub from Sarah Price in collaboration with @tvanop! Here we used a new form of TnSeq to identify the yersiniabactin secretion system in Y. pestis. A short teaser of the findings. 1/10 embopress.org/doi/abs/10.152…

So happy to see Louisville Science Pathways still flourishing! Way to go!

We are looking for a postdoc to join our team. Please retweet and tell you your friends. Join our collaborative team of plague doctors!

Congratulations to the newest Eric Skaar lab PhD candidate Kyle T Enriquez!

On #InternationalMountainDay, read about ANYmal, a legged #robot that completed an hour-long hike on the Etzel mountain in Switzerland. Learn more in Science Robotics: scim.ag/599

Attention postdocs! Faculty cluster hire at Vanderbilt in Infection, Immunology, Inflammation, Metabolism, or Neuroscience. Multiple positions supported by the NIH FIRST program. 🔬 🦠 Please share and apply!

Excited to announce Sarah Price last manuscript with the Lawrenz Lab in collaboration with the Jewell Lab Dr. Christopher M. Jewell and others. Check out how we used MNAs to model Y. pestis flea transmission and explore nutritional immunity in the dermis. cell.com/iscience/fullt…

Sean Callahan, PhD and I are co-chairs for the 2024 GRS on Microbial Toxins and Pathogenicity. We started reviewing applications so get started and apply early! Please, include abstracts to be considered for acceptance. grc.org/microbial-toxi…

Eager to share our 1st foray into inflammatory lipids during plague PLOS Pathogens ! Amanda Brady led these studies, but we couldn’t have done it without our collaborators. A short🧵into Amanda’s exciting discoveries about Y. pestis manipulation of LTB4. dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

Our latest Plague Doc defended her PhD today! Congratulations to Dr. Amanda Brady! So proud of your discoveries.

It was great to celebrate Dr. Brady and catch up with Matthew Lawrenz (he/him) @lawrenzlab.bsky.social and the Lawrenz lab fam!

Favorite taste test yet. Dr. Valeria M. Reyes Ruiz’ flan was killer!

Does anyone know of or have a bacterial strain with all of the PTS sugar transporters knocked out? #microbiology

It's the 2nd day of the United States of Science, a fundraiser supporting Skype A Scientist. We match 1000s of classes w/scientists every year! Each bubble represents classes we matched in the last year. $10 donations fill in bubbles! Fill a bubble here 👇 givebutter.com/Wj5JGG

On our way to start the #GRCToxPath Seminar! Can’t wait to connect with such an outstanding group of trainees. Sarah Price Zach Lonergan Kara Eichelberger

Grateful and honored to receive the Damon Runyon Fellowship! 🎉 It’s a privilege to be recognized with such a talented group of scientists. Huge thanks to my incredible mentors Eric Skaar, Matthew Lawrenz (he/him) @lawrenzlab.bsky.social, and Lucio Gama for their guidance and support. Excited for the journey ahead!
