The Bartlett Lab is open for business at the Wadsworth Center! We study pathogens with "unusual" shapes (balls & corkscrews) to find vulnerabilities in their growth plans, and learn how bacterial shape impacts infection. We are hiring... join us! wadsworth.org/research/labor…

It has been a joy to be a part of this international and local collaboration! Read the story at @PNASNews or the thread below. Stayed tuned for more discoveries from @sb_worthan and @megbehri As microbes find new and clever ways to thrive, we’ll keep asking them how they do it.

🚨This week in @PNASNews 🚨 Our new paper led by @sb_worthan examining a pH sensitive substitution in the Rho transcription terminator that evolved experimentally in the lab and then found in natural populations! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… A thread 🧵!

What does diffusion look like in the crowded bacterial cytoplasm? Is it as weird as people say? Check out our new preprint on 3D tracking of GEMs in live E. coli from @dsvalverdem and @AlpSunol! A fantastic experiment-theory collaboration with @TheZiaLab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Preprint Alert! 🚨🚨🚨 Exciting collaboration between my group, @MarcBoudvillain’s group and @bpbratton! From populations experimentally evolved to extreme feast/famine cycles, we find pH-sensing rho alleles that confer pH-dependent plasticity in transcription termination!
