This couldn’t be more true. RIP #parafilm

#Genetics lies deep at the base of biology knowledge pyramid, with today's #SynBio at the top. Next edition of the #ASBE conference will come to these roots, to #Brno🇨🇿 the city of Gregor Mendel. We look forward to hosting #ASBEVII in November 2024 and welcome SynBio enthusiasts!

Is it difficult to get non-magnetic bacteria to produce magnetosomes - the prokaryotic magnetic organelles and biogenic nanoparticles of biotechnological importance? 🔬 Find out in our new research paper 👇#magnetosomes #mtb #biotech

The press release on our study is also already out. Thanks to the PR department of #UniBayreuth

I've just written my first blog post ever😊 It is about our findings published recently in Nature Nano From Magnetotactic to Magnetized: New Hosts for Magnetosome Biosynthesis microbiologycommunity.nature.com/posts/from-mag…

!!!! Postdoc wanted !!! for an exciting project in collaboration with Ariel Lindner at Université Paris Cité to combine RNA-based synthetic organelles with CRISPR. Email [email protected] with a subject line starting with [GERPSO] for more info!

קהילת מכון ויצמן מתאחדת בצער עמוק על מותם של חפים מפשע ומייחלת להחלמתם של הפצועים ולשובם של השבויים, החטופים והנעדרים בשלום. בשעה קשה זו, אנו מחזקים את תושבי כל ישראל, כוחות הביטחון וההצלה ומקווים לימים שקטים יותר. שמרו על עצמכם ועצמכן. In light of the recent events, the

🎶Reunited and it feels so good Reunited 'cause we understood🎶 🧲We are back! 🧲 In this brief article, Christopher Lefevre and I give an overview of what we know so far about creatures that use magnetic orientation. - Of course is heavy on the best ones: MTB💜 elementsmagazine.org/wp-content/upl…

Just submitted my resignation from eLife - the journal's board of reviewing editors...

The respected German Journal Jaborpraxis has just featured an interview with Dr. Mickoleit and me on our quest to bring magnetosomes to real-world applications. Ein mächtig kleines Tool: Biogen produzierte Magnet-Nanopartikel laborpraxis.vogel.de/ein-maechtig-k…

Job opportunity! I will soon announce a PhD position in cultivation of novel microbial lineages (#archaea!). If you are interested in joining our Laboratory of Microbiology at WUR lab at Wageningen U&R campus and live in wonderful Wageningen, stay tuned here! Feel free to notify potentially interested candidates.

Preprint alert! The astonishing discovery of my colleagues at the University of Bayreuth: MamF-like magnetosome proteins likely build a translocation system essential for proper magnetosome formation biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Sci Hub is a "pirate" website with 88M research papers freely available. Using it is not advisable. We should all try to make billion-dollar acdemic publishers richer. Here's a thread on integrating Zotero with Sci Hub to get free articles. PLEASE DON'T DO THIS 😉

We have a Postdoc or PhD position available in the field of Plant-Microbe-Interactions from early/ mid next year on Universität zu Köln . If you are interested 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬, pls get in contact. Pls share. Ta!

Today is a deep dark and sad day. I can only hope to see someday that those involved in his death are brought to justice. We shall not let our hope for free Russia die with him. RIP #Nawalny

If any postdoc candidate wants to work in my lab via a Simons Postdoc Fellowship, please reach out! Our lab is going on a cruise to Guaymas and Pescadero basin in April and there will be a lot of fresh samples to work with to pursue your ideas.

Good news: we are offering two PhD positions in the frame of the recently funded #MSCA Doctoral Network #ARCTECH, led by fabulous Tessa Quax ! Come and work with (human) #archaea in beautiful #Graz, Austria!

Thank you to everyone who attended the 8th International Meeting on Magnetotactic Bacteria! It was great having you in Bilbao, we hope to see you all in two years in China :)
