Do you know how far phototoxicity can hinder your experiments?🤔 @mariodelr.bsky.social and @gomez-mariscal.bsky.social have just published their work on #PhotoFiTT in @natcomms.nature.com where they explain how to quantitatively measure it in live-cell imaging.⚡🧫🔬 Read more at: shorturl.at/ly9Zn

This week we had an amazing science #outreach period at @itqbnova.bsky.social! We had the #openday which had over 2000 visitors. Also our guest Federico from @cambridgeuni.bsky.social was kind enough to volunteer for the "A scientist walks into a school" to talk about #DNA #nanostructures and #AMR

Having fun playing with the OGI3 #Bioreactor System from @ogibiotec.bsky.social! No more waiting for our #bacteria to reach the right OD before infecting some host cells (poor cells) :D #happy #microbiology #automation

We have quite a range of PhD projects this year, covering cryo-EM methods, bacteriology/bioenergetics, and infection/antibiotics/vaccines. Would really appreciate if people can RT and share with their teams!

New paper out in @ScienceMagazine! In 8 studies (multiple platforms, methods, time periods) we find: misinformation evokes more outrage than trustworthy news, when it does it's shared more + ppl are less likely to read before sharing. w/ @killianmcl1 @Klonick @mollycrockett 🧵👇

My friend & colleague @micsysecolab.bsky.social Matthias has written this extremely insightful and fascinating perspective on bacterial collective metabolism, out now in @naturemicrobiol.bsky.social. So happy to see this out & super excited for proteome allocation! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This Perspective explores why microbiome members perform partial metabolism of substrates and suggests that proteome efficiency is a driver of collective microbiome metabolism.

Hi everyone! For my first interaction with 🦋 I thought about sharing a Scholar Goggler (scholargoggler.com) about me... why? well, because I discovered it here at 🦋, I am indeed doing sciency things 🙂 and it's always good to know that my bio is accurate 😂 #accurate #bio #science #IMIBlab
word cloud about my science, highlighted are words related to microscopy, microbiology, bacterial cell biology, and also some related to outreach work I have done.
