Bacterial sporulation (endospore formation) is complicated,but it turns out a lot of steps are regulated by classically defined developmental "checkpoints", and not events that are intrinsically required for the next step to occur. Zac Park reviews these in #Bacillus subtilis doi.org/10.1146/annu...

Developmental processes are carefully regulated programs that are present in multiple kingdoms of life and that generally result in cell differentiation and specialization. This regulation can be medi...

Finally a small win: NIH rescinds requirement to denounce DEI as a condition for receiving funding. Which is great, since saying I don’t care to create inclusive spaces is antithetical to my mission as an educator. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

I know you all know this, but apparently it needs to be said that basic science is a NECESSARY PRECURSOR to translational science

Fellow bacterial cell biologists, message me if you use @thermofishersci.bsky.social Gene Frames for microscopy! Thermo are planning to discontinue these in September but have indicated they will look into this further. If I make list of labs using them Thermo might not kill the product Please RT🔬🦠

This does away with awards based on underrepresentation, student support services based on race, scholarships, etc. Let me explain, pre coffee (wrote this morning, no time to update, you're getting a cut n paste), why this is a bad idea. 🧵 www.insidehighered.com/news/diversi...

‪I don't see any indication in this statement that ASM thinks they did anything incorrectly. If that's the case, are they telling us they would do it the same way the next time? Not even communicate differently with members?

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

Folks associated w/ PhD programs: it’s *not* too late to send an email to all letter writers apologizing for not realizing that your standard 12/1 deadline fell on a Holiday-weekend Sunday and announcing that letters would be accepted through midnight on 12/2. Even NIH extends Sun deadlines… 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Met with a student today who shared that she had been told numerous times — by both peers and faculty — that she doesn’t “*seem* like a Chemistry major.” Please . Don’t . Do . This . This “sense” can only be fueled by implicit bias, and it erodes a student’s deeply deserved sense of #belonging.
