Another famous quote of Carl Sagan that should be never forgotten in research practice (or anywhere, in reality): ‘… Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence …'

For the past two years, we have been working on a novel approach to identify origins of transfer by conjugation in plasmids from any bacterial species. We are thrilled to see this work now published in @NatureMicrobiol after thorough peer review! nature.com/articles/s41564-0…

Cannot believe 35 yr have passed since this photo in Berlin, Nov 1989. My Lab in Braunschweig where I was postdoc-ing with @KennethTimmis was a mere 2.5 h drive away 😱! #DeutscheEinheit

📢 Happy to announce that the first experimental pre-print of my PhD is out! We (@LabNikel) present CIFR (Clone, Integrate, Flip-Out, Repeat): a transposon-based tool for integrating synthetic modules in Gram-negative bacteria (shorturl.at/XXHpi)! A X-torial 👇 (1/11)

Thrilled to present for the first time our glyoxylate & glycolate sensors to the #Synbio community at #ASBE7—an incredible first public reveal in a planetarium! Not every day you get to share science in such a unique venue. Looking forward to the other sessions' presentations!

This week, I had the opportunity to visit London and present my work @ #SynBio24 on the beautiful Welcome Trust Campus in Hinxton. A big shout out to the organisers @billerbeck_s @ProfTomEllis @DNARNAProtein01 @GallowayLabMIT! It was a BLAST!!!
