I was a bit confused as to why the US wants Dr. Akinwumi A. Adesina, CON, CGH out of the AfBD so bad. Then I saw this video. His understanding of agriculture as a business represents a threat to their economic interests. Pretty simple

The #COVID19 crisis has been extremely challenging for everyone. And there's something we want to say... Thank You #TeamUofG ♥️🙏 #WeAreTogether

These kids have to be some of the MOST creative on the net.. Incredible! RESPECT

The reason not to trust the government. Their words aren't their bonds. To the deceased, we failed you. The system failed you. Nigeria failed you 💔. #EndSARS #EndPoliceBrutality #GoodGovernanceWeSeek #NigeriansDeserveBetter

Happy Friday 🥳 our paper is out in Current Biology! Thrilled to show here how the arbitrium system in the SPBeta group of #phages plays a key role in the induction of resident prophages in B. subtilis Nuria Quiles José R Penadés cell.com/current-biolog… 1/

Congratulations to Dr. Mohammed A. Thabet. 👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉

Latest from the lab. Alfred Fillol and Jakob T Rostøl deserve all the merit. Here we show that PICIs carry an impressive arsenal of defense systems that block HGT. We also demonstrate that phages benefit from mobilizing these PICIs to target competing MGEs. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Thrilled to share our latest work about PICIs published in Cell! It was a pleasure to work with these brilliants scientists! Huge congrats to all them (Jakob T Rostøl, Adaeze D. Ojiogu, JChen Lab, Gill Douce, Suzie, José R Penadés)

Here is the link for the paper (cell.com/cell/fulltext/…), but please read the magnific thread that Jakob T Rostøl has tweeted x.com/jakob_tr/statu…

Happy Friday. My first first author paper is out as a preprint with Alfred Fillol José R Penadés @epcrocha et all. We report the discovery of a new family of PICIs, that encode all the proteins required for the PICI capsid & packaging but only steal phage tails to spread in nature.

Huge congratulations to the winner of the Sir Howard Dalton Young Microbiologist of the Year Competition 2022, Aisling Brady (Aisling Brady) from Imperial College London! 👏 #MicrobioShowcase22

Latest from the lab! We present a novel repression-induction system involved in the transfer of SaPI-encoded virulence factors in nature. All the merit for Laura and Mohammed. Great fun with @olwynbyron, JChen Lab, Gail.. and specially, Alberto Marina academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…

Happy to see the final version of this paper out in nature. Led by the incredible Tong Zhang and fantastic collaborators Gemma C Atkinson Vasili Hauryliuk and Abel Garcia-Pino. Started after serving as outside examiner for a student of Gem and Vasili's. 1/6 nature.com/articles/s4158…
