We examined the fitness of T6SS+ vs - bacteria competing in liquid media (metabolic costs only) and when grown on solid media (+ friendly fire). In either case, the cost was v. low! 0.025 +/- 0.5% (95% CI) without friendly fire and 0.11 +/- 0.75% (95% CI) with friendly fire. 6/18

📣 📣 📣 The shock of my day: Over the last few days, I measured power consumption of our -80°C freezers CECAD Cologne . ~13 kWh per day each 🤔So, one freezer consumes much more electricity per year than my family and me🙁

Happy Pride to the goofy bi science man 🩷💜💙🔬 We love you Hank Green!!! Keep hydrating and pissing out that cancer 🫡

Whoever can help, please do. Being an immigrant, alone and afraid and feeling like you have no options is one of the lost soul crushing feelings out there

If you are sedentary, you are unhealthy, even if you don’t have a diagnosed health condition. A new study makes this quite clear. Researchers compared sedentary adults (no structured exercise) to a group of adults who were moderately active (they exercised at least 150 minutes

The week ends with good news 🥳 Recently, I made a playful artwork about the wish of a structural biologist's inner child: building his own Lego enzymes. And it made the 2. place in Australian Research Council  CCeMMP's Exhibition! 🥰 Thanks to the organisers, jury and all involved artists! 💪

Molecular dynamics simulations in mixed reality! With Luciano Abriata and Lucien Krapp we’re scaling our multi-user WebXR platform to enable immersive molecular simulations, fully based on web technologies. Stay tuned, lots of cool stuff coming soon! Three.js #WebXR #Quest3

The ggh4x package is an extension for ggplot2 that enhances the flexibility of creating complex and customizable visualizations. It adds extra functionality, allowing users to build more sophisticated plots with less effort. Opportunities and advantages of using ggh4x include:

To make our research more approachable, I used #Gemini to develop (mostly by #vibecoding) a simulation of #T6SS mediated bacterial interactions. I hope that you'll have as much fun as I have with this and that you'll learn something new! sites.google.com/view/bacfight6/

Your results don’t matter if your discussion is weak. You can’t publish on findings alone. You have to tell us what they mean. Your discussion section is your main argument If you're stuck on the discussion section, this is for you:

🧵 Why the obsession with p < 0.05 is hurting science. A meme. A truth. A reality check.
