Proud to announce our review article on RpoS and its regulation is out now! Want to learn more about how bacteria can control the general stress response? Full of what we know about the RpoS system, what we don't, and how well it applies to other organisms!

The alternative sigma factor RpoS regulates the general stress response in E. coli & is conserved in most γ-proteobacteria. How do stresses lead to RpoS induction? What have we learned about RpoS-dependent genes & pathways? Find out in #MMBR: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mm…

@felixrl_ took on a ~50-yr-old mystery in #Staph aureus cell biology and came out on top! Check out his paper on how #Staphylococcus aureus chooses its cell division plane, how it forms clusters, and why all this matters during infection... nature.com/articles/s4156…

"In order to compensate for the gender gap in names of prokaryotes honouring persons, we propose new taxon names to all newly described species to honour female scientists" e.g. Streptomyces doudnae, S. gottesmaniae, S.lonegramiae, Pseudonocardia charpentierae

Did you know there are more than bilayer #membranes in nature? Meet the #archaeal monolayer and its surprising mechanical properties! New #preprint! (1/7)

Happy to share our newest preprint from @AnuKhareLab and my first postdoc project: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Here, we characterized how S. aureus adapts to pyocyanin, an antimicrobial produced by P. aeruginosa. This project was started by the supremely talented @microbiosara

Kicking off BBM! Boston bacteria meeting 30th year anniversary at the GSU at Boston Univ. Campus Wouldn't be possible without our amazing co-chairs - Molly and Laurent, the organizing committee, and sponsors :-)

It was a pleasure working with @PopoMicro on this review of CRISPR-Cas associated transposons (CAST). Hopefully it gives a sense for the diversity of Tn7-like transposons and CRISPR systems that independently combined.go.shr.lc/444PwFh

Having worked on E. coli, we can all tell you it's one of the weird ones

(My next grant) There is great interest yet little understanding of the location of Kate Middleton. If funded, we propose to use our new superresolution microscope to check if she’s in the cell nucleus
