A reminder when we’re discussing 4 weeks of paid family leave that most daycares won’t take infants until 6-8 weeks at the earliest

Another fascinating mechanism by which phage profoundly influence bacterial evolution and physiology.

Really enjoyed reading this detailed, mechanistic story describing the newly discovered prophage-encoded phage defense element, BstA.

Wow!! Congratulations to my graduate advisor Joseph Mougous for his election to the National Academy of Sciences!

Come be a #newPI with me - @WUSM_MolMicro is recruiting 2 new assistant profs this coming year!

A fascinating example of RNA ADP-ribosylation by a bacterial toxin.

Have you seen our posters? Pregnant students, lactating students, and student parents have RIGHTS, and we want everyone to know! Visit our website to download our posters and share them with your campus: thepregnantscholar.org/posters/ #TitleIX #StudentParents #Posters

Some great suggestions here to promote an inclusive lab culture!

Love this beautiful work on another set of toxin-antitoxin phage defense elements!

Happy to share our new preprint! We used viperins🐍, to understand the conservation and diversification of immune genes across domains of life. A deep dive in the evolutionary history of immune genes shared by prokaryotes and eukaryotes! biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…
