Social anxiety disorder-associated gut microbiota increases social fear Not feeling social this Xmas? Latest lab paper out in PNASNews-further implicating the gut microbiome in social brain functioning Well done Nate Ritz on leading the charge on this! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

The first small molecule that prevents the evolution of AMR through inhibition of Mfd from our group published today! I am proud of the many contributors to this work over 8 years, especially Juan Carvajal García for refining and completing this massive undertaking. academic.oup.com/narmolmed/arti…

Excited to share - EcORep! Now you can simply electroporate a PCR product into E. coli and let the linear DNA replicate orthogonally in the cell. EcORep can be used to evolve proteins rapidly and continuously! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Vacations are difficult. You meet your family after months and that too for a few days. You come across so many difficulties. Both parents and you create a house of cards of lies. While they lie how great they are and living their best without your support or company but you

In our article published today nature , we report complete all-atom structural models of a fully packaged bacteriophage particle. Congratulations to Kush Coshic on his first publication! Many thanks to Chris Maffeo and David Winogradoff for pushing this 6-year project forward.

Last stage of cancer is often very painful, both for the patient and the family. The best one can do is to reduce the pain and provide quality life in those last few weeks or months. Bagchi Karunashraya Palliative Care Centre, Bhubaneswar has started its in-patient services

Secondary messenger signalling influences Pseudomonas aeruginosa adaptation to sinus and lung environments The ISME Journal by Dilem Ruhluel, PhD et al from @MicrobeAdapt academic.oup.com/ismej/advance-…

Good stuff. Sequencing proteins by reverse translating them back into DNA, and then sequencing that.

🚨New analysis from The Royal Society UK visa costs for researchers: 🫣 21x higher than France (Talent passport for researchers) 😱34x higher than Germany (Scientific visa) 😬Have increased by 126% since 2019 while other countries have made theirs cheaper royalsociety.org/news-resources…

A team from @uodMedicine has completed Scotland's first ultrasound thalamotomy - a non-invasive operation that will allow people suffering from uncontrolled tremors due to Parkinson's disease to control their movements. For patients like Ian Keir, this is life-changing. 👇

Today, I finally got the visa I applied for nearly 3 years ago to attend a conference in North America. Unfortunately, the conference took place 2 years ago. Academic Chatter™

Amazing opportunity for DiMeN students to learn about industrial jobs and startups from various experts throughout the day at The Guildhall, York.

A 1,000,000th reminder the crucial importance of basic research. Ambros and Ruvkun were looking into understanding nematode genetics and development, not looking for a drug, and ended up opening an entire new area in biology

UK doctoral training programmes now expect PhD researchers to submit within 3 years *and* spend 3 months of that on a placement. UKHE needs to touch a lot of grass.

What an elegant paper: intuitive yet unexpected, fiercely uncovering what many of us have suspected but clueless on how. nature.com/articles/s4158…

You want to run antibiotic MICs according to best-practice clinical microbiology protocols, but you are not sure how? Our article will walk you through it all! Great to work with Nikol Ayesha Mahmood and a pleasure to publish in npj Antimicrobials and Resistance. rdcu.be/dZp04 #AMR
