So these "bacterial taxonomy people", are they with us in the room right now?

Please RT: We are looking for a postdoc or research associate/technician to join a multidisciplinary team on an antibiotic discovery project combining high-throughput microscopy, imaging AI, and chemical AI. See bit.ly/3F854La. Apply at [email protected].

Shameless plug: "‘Phages are the most abundant and diverse biologi- cal entities on the planet’. This opening statement has become a favourite of many viral ecologists." (Dion et al Nat Rev Microbiol 2020)

Il fait tellement frette que ça fait geler mon application 🥶

You know you’re in lockdown when your exciting Saturday night activity is to throw an exotic fruit tasting with your bf Philippe Després 🍍Do you recognize some of these?

Il ne reste que quelques jours pour soumettre votre résumé (en français) pour le colloque ACPHAGES (Applications et caractérisation des phages) qui aura lieu lors du congrès de l’ACFAS en mai prochain. Voir ci-joint !

@mRoussy23 and I have been looking at the current state of Tri-Council awards for grad students. It's not great. For ex, the NSERC / CRSNG PGS-D award has not changed in value since 2008. The red line is Statistics Canada's poverty line (dashed is an estimate based on inflation).

It is with great pleasure that we annouce the return of the Phage Canada Virtual Symposia series. Occurring from August 17th-19th, the symposia will feature presentations from trainee phage researchers from all over Canada.

Super programme organisé par mon boss, j’y serai !

Excellente session d'affiches ce midi !! La prochaine génération de chercheur.e.s sur les phages sera TRÈS solide ! Gros merci à Moïra Dion, PhD Félix Croteau Michael Shamash et "Twitterless" Alexia, Nathalie, Laurie, Nava et Gabrielle ! #acphages #acfas

A tous les scientifiques & ingénieurs canadiens ! SVP signez cette lettre ouverte adressée à Justin Trudeau & François-Philippe Champagne (FPC) 🇨🇦 bit.ly/3vWWDQt pour une augmentation des bourses graduées et des bourses #Postdoc NSERC / CRSNG à un niveau de revenu raisonnable. SVP RT !

Our latest contribution to the #CRISPR and #phage fields is now out in Nature Communications. Congrats to Cécile Philippe and the #bacteriophagebunker for this superbe work: A truncated anti-CRISPR protein prevents spacer acquisition but not interference rdcu.be/cNTxM

Question for foodies living in Boston/Cambridge: what restaurant would you recommend that is walking distance from MIT and🤰🏻-friendly? I’m going to the #CRISPR2022 meeting in three weeks and am looking for a nice restaurant to spend the evening with Sylvain Moineau and Rousseau Geneviève

Great first day at the #CRISPR2022 meeting 🧬😷

Congratulations Brayon Fremin! Great work on the identification of thousands of small, novel genes in global #phage genomes from IMG/VR. Amy Bhatt Integrated Microbial Genomes & Microbiomes (IMG/M) - cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Dan Turner starts the workshop on viral genomics and taxonomy by listing the most common errors in phage genomes submitted to NCBI this year. #vom22

I’m excited to announce a new preprint with Rachel Whitaker! We developed a command line toolkit for the identification and analysis of CRISPR arrays, called the CRISPR Comparison ToolKit (CCTK). A thread about what it can be used for: 1/15
