Check out this awesome work by Strock et al. on how Archaea can turn nasty against Bacteria. Very honored for the opportunity to spread their story in a primer with @apapageorgiou.bsky.social. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

If you are curious about plant evolution, cytogenomics, and big-picture questions about biodiversity, feel free to get in touch with Sreetama @sreetamabhadra.bsky.social!

This was fun! Folding whole proteomes… looking at tomogram, looking at genomes🤩 lots to discover!🧬🧶

Check out this weird protein we found in a Loki Asgard archaea.🧬🧶Only found relatives in other Lokis. 🤔 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Alright, last one, now I need to get back to real work... 😸

📣 We are proud of the publication of the second paper of @bbaker24.bsky.social PhD thesis. In collaboration with friends in Halifax we have studied the difficult question of the phylogeny of the DPANN archaea, composed of several phyla of highly reduced, fast-evolving epiparasites 🧵 rdcu.be/erkkU

One more appointment with great science in a few days, one click away 👇

It's publication day of my first book: The Tree of Life. The tree of life is a time machine that can take us back 4 billion years to meet our most distant ancestor. It is the magic that lets us tell the origin stories, beginning with this ancient relative, of everything from mushrooms to man.

Interesting paper alert! #eukaryogenesis www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

When asked to draw a scientist, school-age kids in the United States are increasingly sketching women, according to a study from 2018. Read more on #WomenInScienceDay: https://scim.ag/4hOUuvx

Closing out our winter premier, @florianwollweber.bsky.social will tell us about his investigations into the elusive cell biology of Asgard archaea using state-of-the-art imaging techniques! Show your love for archaea by tuning in on WEDNESDAY! Remember, they're everywhere, always watching 👀
