💫 I am recruiting a postdoctoral candidate for a 3-year position starting in summer 2026 to work on the role of extracellular RNA (eRNA) in interspecies interactions.
Should an iconic #bacterial #chassis be renamed without community consensus? Our @mbio.bsky.social #article vindicates the established identity of #Pseudomonas putida KT2440 & argues for continuity, community practice & common sense in naming · @vdlorenzo.bsky.social

Very sad news about the passing of Prof. Jeff Cole. Jeff was a central figure for biotechnology in Europe who inspired generations of researchers. R.I.P.🕊️

LGBTQIA+ lives are increasingly at risk in 2026, but you'll probably see the usual 'things are better/acceptance has increased/stop shoving it in our faces'
No.
Love loud, continue to fight, support queer art and businesses, and stand up for your trans siblings :)
How do you react when your favorite microbe is renamed by taxonomists who are completely outside your field—and who ignore the community that actually works with it? Here is our clear answer re the case of Pseudomonas putida KT2440 👉🏻 journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
Abstract. Genetic circuits for model bacteria often perform poorly in non-canonical hosts, limiting the deployment of regulatory programs in industrially r
