Learned societies and especially scientific academies constitute unique assemblies of expertise, talent and convening power. They are go-to sources of solutions and guidance. Especially in times of challenges it is essential that they assert agency and provide leadership: doi.org/10.1111/1751...

Academic renewal needs pressure from below and responsibility from above www.timeshighereducation.com/depth/academ...
The final version of our latest paper is now published in @natcomms.nature.com!
This study illustrates how #AntibioticResistance mechanisms can reshape bacterial physiology beyond resistance itself, ultimately influencing infection dynamics in clinically relevant ways🦠

#MicroSky: Park et al present ways for fighting antibiotic resistance by targeting bacterial persisters. bymBDZ accelerates persister regrowth & increases antibiotic susceptibility in E. coli, boosting killing during early recovery. A promising strategy to prevent relapse. doi.org/10.1111/1751...
Stingless bees may lack a sting, but they’re powerful pollinators with sweet medicinal honey and vital microbial partners. Threatened by climate change and habitat loss, these tropical bees are crucial for biodiversity, ecosystems, and future food security.
¿Sabías que los microbios ayudan a las aves a construir nidos, proteger sus plumas, intensificar sus colores e incluso atraer pareja? Su alianza invisible mantiene saludables los ecosistemas y desempeña un papel vital en la supervivencia y bienestar de las aves

New paper out!! Really enjoyed working with Juhyun Kim from Kyungpook National University thinking about how microbial cell factories, minicells and microbial communities can be harnessed for safe and precise food production.

J'ai dit ça entre autres trucs. C'est vrai.
In this work, authors show that the loss of the carbapenem porin OprD in Pseudomonas aeruginosa reduces mucus entrapment and enhances airway epithelial barrier crossing, illustrating how antibiotic re...
High-level declarations pledging not to misuse metrics in research assessment are important, but they are far from enough. Senior academics, in particular, must use their influence to ensure instituti...
The latest Chief Economists’ Outlook cites ‘grave concerns’ about disrupted food production due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Here's what we can do now to avoid the worst possible consequenc...

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 🦠
