Hey, who doesn’t like endings? End is near.

I love kids. I have two of them. They’re amazing. However, kids are the absolute least self aware, clumsiest little puffins on the planet. Please don’t drive tonight unless you have to, and if you do drive, drive super slow and pay 100% attention at all times. Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻 💀 #PublicHealth

New preprint out! 📣🚨 We found that loss-of-function mutations in the carbapenem entry porin OprD of Pseudomonas aeruginosa do more than confer #AntibioticResistance: they reshape the bacterial membrane and interaction with the host, enhancing epithelial colonization capacity 🦠 #Microsky

This study has been really intriguing. What does this mean? There is no host specificity that we see in the lab? 😳 #phage #phagesky #microsky

What is it like inside your head these days?

@joann-trejo.bsky.social, @marymunson4.bsky.social and I have a commentary in @natcellbio.nature.com on recent attacks on DEI in biomedical research: "If scientific research, especially biomedical research, is meant to serve everyone, then it requires that everyone has an opportunity to participate"

If you are in the US and in science, you know where we all are headed in 5 months. It’s a steep cliff….

Join us in Birmingham for the annual BSAC #AntibioticResistance & Mechanisms workshop - excellent talks and it’s designed to make conversation & networking between attendees easy #MicroSky bsac.org.uk/antibiotic-r...

Wow. Harvard nuking its PhD programs - Science PhD admissions reduced by more than 75% - Arts & Humanities reduced by about 60% - Social Sciences by 50–70% - History by 60% - Biology by 75% - The German department will lose all PhD seats - Sociology from six PhD students to zero

Happy to share the final version of this work out in ACS CS. Inspired by ‘binding-focused’ chemoproteomic methods, we developed a ‘function-focused’ strategy to agnostically identify degradable proteins. This was a big team effort led by @inesforrest.bsky.social and in collaboration with AbbVie.

Microbiology Postdoctoral Position (Please re-post) A funded postdoctoral position in Chicago will open in 2026 to study aspects of Neisseria gonorrhoeae pathogenesis, antigenic variation, genetics, or physiology. If interested, please get in touch with Hank Seifert [email protected]
