We desperately need sponsorship funds. We cannot currently afford to do a mixer or even have t-shirts. Help if you can. venmo.com/code?user_id...

Registration is now open for Binning Singletons @asm.org #ASMicrobe 2026! We are committed to lowering the activation energy required for you to have a great meeting. We're looking for Mentors and Singletons, so please spread the word. forms.gle/fUhhWyHQqQe1...

Sara Alexander (@saraalexander.bsky.social) in the Goulian lab defends her thesis tomorrow!

New insight published in @molecularmicro.bsky.social by @saraalexander.bsky.social + Mark Goulian about how the phosphotransfer system known as PTS-Ntr mediates methylglyoxal resistance via K+ transporters. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Hey y’all! #ASMicrobe is 2 months away. We want to be there but our funding is unexpectedly short. If your institution can help us out please get in touch. We don’t want to ever charge people for our service but if we don’t raise money we can’t do it this year. binningsingletons.com/sponsor/

wow, it’s finally time! DM me if you’d like the zoom link 🥰

hi everyone how are we holding up?

New preprint from our lab! We found that Staph aureus evolves tolerance to pyocyanin produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa via CodY mutations. Project was started by @saraalexander.bsky.social and then led by @tmartini.bsky.social who tested so many possibilities to pin down the mechanism!

Happy to share our newest preprint from @anukharelab.bsky.social and my first postdoc project: biorxiv.org/content/10.1.... Here, we characterized how S. aureus adapts to pyocyanin, an antimicrobial produced by P. aeruginosa. This project was started by...

Check out our preprint from @anukharelab.bsky.social at NIH about how the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa co-opts interkingdom secreted public goods for flagellar-based motility!

Why doesn’t the bigger one simply eat the smaller one?
