I was doing inventory and moving boxes in my tall black boots on lab chairs. Zero effs given for safety. Since my grants won’t be reviewed, I might as well do something! We should start a bartering thing, I have way too many random plates and tissue culture flasks.

I’m thrilled to announce that Nerina Jusufovic’s manuscript on B. burgdorferi PlzA and cyclic-di-GMP has been accepted for publication in Mol Micro. There’s been a lot to sort out regarding this DNA-binding protein that has more in common with histones than with the classic Lac repressor protein 🧫🦠🧪
