Congrats to Dr. Ching Ko and colleagues for this advancement in engineering of mycobacteriophages!

Anyone have book recommendations for graduate students for scientific writing and/or presenting ?

#microsky #mevosky The UNC Chapel Hill Biology Department is hiring 2 Teaching Assistant/Associate Professors with expertise from any area of biology. Individuals with expertise in microbiology are particularly encouraged to apply. Read more and apply at unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/307...

Very excited to share the latest work from our lab, which was published today in Nature! nature.com/articles/s41... PhD graduate and now post-doc Sofia Dahlman, along with co-senior author Sam Forster from The Hudson and other researchers from our lab and others.

Science chats over donuts are the best chats!

Interested in a tenure track position teaching and doing research with undergrads at a PUI? We are looking for a broadly-defined microbiologist who can teach Med Micro and Immunology. Apply at universityofscrantonjobs.com/postings/8308. Pls share widely to feeds (& on twitter if you still tweet)! 🦠

Excited to annouce the latest research published by our lab, which is led by Dinesh Subedi and is out today in Nature Microbiology. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Nearly 300 patients screened for phage susceptibility ✅ 50+ FDA-approved treatments and counting ✅ Phage therapy is making a difference — and we’re just getting started. #pittsburghphageprogram #phagetherapy #P3

The Wetzel Lab is one! 🥳 Grateful for these enthusiastic scientists who have joined me for the ride.

Come hang out with us!

Do you love phage? I have an opening for a postdoc in my lab at the University of South Florida College of Marine Science (@cmarinescience.bsky.social) looking at interactions between marine phage and iron, which is an important limiting trace metal in the oceans (1/5) 🧵#phagesky 🦠🌊

Thrilled to share our most recent paper describing the antimicrobial activity of engineered mesoporous silica nanoparticles targeting intracellular mycobacteria in macrophages and zebrafish. Outstanding work headed by Yara Tasrini, John Jairo Aguilera Correa, Miguel Gisbert and others. rdcu.be/eAcN4

Scientists! @skypeascientist.bsky.social matches scientists with classrooms, libraries, & more for virtual Q&As! It's easy and fun! We are looking for 750 more volunteers by 8/15 If you're down to chat with 1-5 classrooms this semester, sign up here www.skypeascientist.com/sign-up.html

The excitement continues! Check out my latest preprint examining how phages have adapted to lyse different bacterial envelopes. I found a lysis gene (lysZ) that is conserved in phages that infect corynebacteria mycobacteria, and other actinos. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New phage lab just dropped!

Big day for the Gurney lab, first paper from the lab is now published. @sczerwinski.bsky.social led this work and answered a simple question does phage steering work when other bacteria are around? Tldr: yes! journals.asm.org/doi/epub/10....

Do you love phages? Other viruses? Cool science done by cool people? Check out this paper by my former bay mate @kfreeman.bsky.social and colleagues that sheds light on the cool molecular machines that are phage tails.

The Ross Lab is recruiting a PhD student! We study the physiology of chronic bacterial infection using M. abscessus. Contact me if interested! Check out the projects here www.findaphd.com/phds/project...
