Glad to have presented my postdoctoral work from the @voslab.org lab in the last machines on genes conference. Thank you to the organizers and to the @biochemsoc.bsky.social for the opportunity and for bringing us to beautiful Crete.

Archaea are the hornets of the microbial world. Discuss.

TLDR: Archaeon kills bacterium with secreted phospholipase. Pretty nifty way to kill bacteria for a microbe with a very different lipid make-up, I reckon. No need to worry about accidentally killing yourself.
Science really takes a village. Thrilled to share this with my friend @dudinlab.bsky.social, and with our brilliant and fearless teams, our collaborators around the world and our mentors - in my case a special shoutout to Buzz Baum, Jan Ellenberg and @monicabettencourt.bsky.social.

"The Case for a Validity Layer in Life Science Research" - a very interesting article by Meir Maor, QED's CTO.
Meir explains why biology is harder for AI than mathematics.
