There’s a new permanent position at the USDA Cereal Disease Lab on the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus. If you want to help protect cereal crops from rust fungi— it’s a great place to work! #fungi usajobs.gov/job/783688700

Holly heck: $80 for a bacterial genome. If four scientists had a 15 min meeting to decide on IF they should send samples, $80 of wages would be used up. Get onto it. – at Melbourne, Victoria
Hello microbiologists! If you send us gDNA, you receive FASTQs in 2 weeks. $80 per bacterial genome, library prep included. For just a bit more $, we'll provide world-class bioinformatic analyses. Place an order directly at our website or ask how we can accelerate your research.

Interesting and important work to address challenges in working with highly redundant bacterial efflux systems. Reminds me of D36E - a similarly-motivated effector deficient P. syringae mutant strain
A new paper from @GeoCox44, @laurakthompson and @tanishatamara12 developed a tool kit to study bacterial efflux pumps and the movement of compounds across the cell envelope to profile efflux pump inhibitors and substrate specificities. Free to read link at rdcu.be/cU1SO

Anyone have tips for matching @JGI locus tag annotations to those on @NCBI (ie. genbank/refseq)? Seems like sometimes they match and sometimes not.

If I could, I'd have every college Bio1A student watch this superbly cogent explanation by Dr Cynthia Wolberger @CWolberger of what Rosalind Franklin's X-ray crystallographic dataset told us about DNA structure. Two minutes of magnificence. #WomenInSTEM youtube.com/watch?v=2tMuMRY1…

Happy to share the first preprint of my postdoc. We constructed #RBTnSeq libraries in 3 #Dickeya soft rot strains, and tested them in tubers of 3 commercial potato cultivars. This project is hopefully just getting started! @FiliatraultLab

#PlantHealth2021 I'll be presenting my work on Dickeya potato soft rot Thursday 1:30 EDT during the Host-Microbe Interactions session. A lot #RBTnSeq a little comparative genomics

Writing is... going... but at least this pup is clean for the first time in what feels like months

This is a really great mentoring opportunity for a summer undergrad research project in microbiology! Still looking for mentors.
With a little over two weeks left to go with our applications, I can tell you that we need more mentors. There are a lot of students hungry for science. That feeling that you felt reading this, yes, you can do it, AND it will be rewarding. #NSURP2021 nsurp.org

For #NSURP2021, students are GETTING PAID! Thanks to major funding by @NSF and @uarizona, NSURP will be a full-time, 8-week, $600/wk program for microbiology & computational immunology. Apps for mentors and mentees will be available at NSURP.org starting April 12th.

BTI's REU program for undergrads provides an excellent opportunity to gain research experience in a lab setting, broaden your knowledge of #PlantScience, prepare for graduate studies & explore scientific careers. Deadline to apply is 2/5/21. btiscience.org/education-out… #internship
Any Ithaca folks know anyone selling girl scout cookies?
