Our new study shows that a #phytopathogenic bacterium uses distinct #chemoreceptors to detect plant defence compounds, revealing an important role for #chemotaxis in plant #virulence. @krelllaboratory.bsky.social @gavirius.bsky.social @robertagenova.bsky.social journals.plos.org/plospathogen...

Chemotaxis to plant defense compounds in phytopathogens. Pathogen attack triggers the release of defense compounds by plants. Bacteria move chemotactically to these compounds.Nice collaboration with Ashleigh Holmes, @gavirius.bsky.social, @miguelmatilla.bsky.social journals.plos.org/plospathogen...

Happy to share our new paper! Many thanks to the @embo.org fellowship for supporting this new collaboration with Dr. Ashleigh Holmes at the @hutton.ac.uk , and many thanks to all the people who contributed and collaborated @miguelmatilla.bsky.social @gavirius.bsky.social

Artemis II mission will send humans back to the Moon for the first time since 1972. The first time around, in 1969 it was a global event that had almost everyone glued to the TV screens. Turns out many scientists are not that excited by what’s scheduled for April 1st 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Amazing-looking creatures!

Happy International Women's Day! 👩‍🔬 To celebrate we're highlighting some of the impactful work published with us in 2025/2026 led by women researchers worldwide. Read our collection👉 pubs.rsc.org/en/journals/... #Chemsky #IWD2026 🧪

We couldn't let World Handwriting Day go by without sharing Kathleen Lonsdale's penmanship ✍️ Lonsdale conducted pioneering research in X-ray crystallography and worked at the Ri. In 1929, she proved that the structure of benzene was flat—the chemical was also discovered here, by Michael Faraday.

Registration for the 11th European Crystallography School (ECS11) is now open! Topics: single crystal XRD, powder XRD and 3D electron diffraction. Details can be found at ecs11.org and registration at docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F.... We hope to see you in Stockholm!

Me preguntan por la financiación de distintas áreas. Son muchas... Aquí pongo de ejemplo una humanidades (Historia), una de ciencias "básicas" (Química) y una de biomedicina (Cáncer). La financiación media varía mucho, claro, pero el raquitismo relativo se mantiene... 😕

The fourth talk of the 5th Virtual ChemBioTalks will be given by @cathleenzeymer.bsky.social. She will talk about her group’s exciting research under the title “Design and directed evolution of artificial photoenzymes”. Make sure to register for free: https://cvent.me/G1geWW

A unique honor to become a Foreign Member of the @royalsociety.org, together with my @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social colleague Stuart Russell and old friends like John Briggs, Asia Akhtar, Patrick Cramer or Ruth Lehmann. Learning about great science and science history was a real treat.

This is some really cool natural history, but I don’t like the spin that Science is putting on it. I don’t see any reason to think it’s evolving into a virus and the one outside researcher that they spoke to was dubious as well.

I am really happy to share with you our latest publication on turning the inhibiting nucleation effect of silica gel on protein crystallization by increasing the hydrophobicity through controlled functional modification. #chembio, #ge3c-rseqf pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....
