My division has been laid off from NASA. I’m really proud of building a lab from scratch and starting up a great project. I’m heartbroken. I think I’ll take some time off to travel for a bit before planning what’s next. I really hoped this was going to be my last job.

Thank you all for the kind DMs. So far my job at NASA is ok. Of course, things change daily and the budget CR in March will likely have some serious consequences. For now tho I’m keeping my head down with the space microbes. 💜

Crazy stuff in PNAS dental plaque bacterium 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘺𝘯𝘦𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘪 can divide into an unprecedented 14 daughter cells at once—then each daughter cell starts growing immediately in a rare process called multiple fission, achieving 0.5 mm per day of expansion www.snexplores.org/article/bact...

These mouth bacteria use a new type of cell division to make 14 cells at once

The newfound strategy seen in C. matruchotii might help oral bacteria recover lost territory after each eviction by toothbrushing.
