Just finished reading this erudite work. Highly comprehensive yet lucid history of zoonotic diseases. @DavidQuammen any plans to add a new chapter called "I told you so" ? ;)

I have a joke about senior faculty asking questions at seminars but it’s actually more of a comment

Congrats Swarup Lab members!

Excellent thread on the search of much sought-after vaccine(s)

BREAKING NEWS: The 2020 #NobelPrize in Chemistry has been awarded to Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna “for the development of a method for genome editing.”

Ribosomes: getting the job done since 4 billion BC.

Growth curves remind me how hard it can be to date as a microbiologist. “What time do you work tomorrow?” “Oh, 7am-10pm but only every 3 hours for 10 minutes.”

weird news day

Enigmatic microbes pumped oxygen into the air and gave rise to the life as we know it. Now other enigmatic microbes can potentially solve one of the biggest problems of our times

Mesmerizing work! Congrats to the researchers!

A mind-blowing paper has come out today in nature In 2016, JC Venter Institute scientists trimmed a bacterial genome to its barest minimum required for life to synthesize what they called a "minimal genome" (science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…). Today, a group of scientists from

I am happy to share our recent article. I would like to congratulate the co-first author, Omkar Kulkarni and all co-authors for their efforts. Thanks nature.com/articles/s4158…

It was a great pleasure! Thanks for the steadfast support from SCELSE and Swarup Lab!

Exciting discovery by NUS Biological Sciences scientists showing how roots can ‘converse’ with microorganisms in the soil to boost plant growth by 30%! This paves the way for new generation of agrochemicals to improve crop yield. #NUSResearch #NUSImpact SCELSE news.nus.edu.sg/nus-scientists…
