Congratulations, Maria and team! 🤩 👏🏾
When we wrap up all the dissertation projects started by @drmariawhite.bsky.social, Dr. White will easily have another 4-5 publications! 💪👩🔬
Or call it the Amorphous Society for Microbiology! 😅
What!? 🧐
I'm not a fan of the new logo nor ASM not being an abbreviation. Imagine that for WHO.
Perhaps we should look at the revenue structure and call it the American Society "of" Microbiologists (like our Canadian counterpart).
Or GSM for Global Society for Microbiology!
This news is heartbreaking!
I remember Allie's excellent talks at Phages (Madison, WI) and at ASM Microbe last year. We spoke just few months ago regarding collaboration.
What an immense loss to the scientific community!
🇺🇸 🇫🇷 🇯🇲
Deepest condolences! 🕊

Today marks 30 years since we identified the apicoplast, a relict plastid in human and animal parasites (PMID 8632819). Apicoplasts are the target of the widely used antimalarial prophylactic doxycycline, which has saved many thousands of malaria infections.
Bacterial transmembrane proteins usually localize inside the cell by "finding" a pre-localized protein, but how did the 1st protein get there? @vanipande.bsky.social found a protein in #B.subtilis that localizes by recognizing a *lipid* localization cue. #Microsky

@agnese75.bsky.social's work is out. She shows that under iron starvation M. tuberculosis splits flux through the Krebs cycle and secretes metabolites, akin of fermentation. Why is this important? Metabolic flexibility is what makes it so hard to kill in vivo.

Researchers have identified superparamagnetic macrophages in the livers of rock pigeons to be crucial for magnetic sensing. The finding uncovers an unexpected role for immune cells in sensory perception and may fundamentally change our understanding of animal navigation.
