I'm extremely happy to share our work looking into the specialized metabolome of Streptomyces 11-1-2, a plant pathogenic strain isolated in Newfoundland! We found that besides phytotoxic compounds, it can also produce antimicrobial metabolites 1/2 nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

We also saw, for the first time, that Elaiophylin has some phytotoxic activity, and that nigericin is capable of affecting lateral root development on radish seedlings! @Bignell_Lab @MemorialUSci @humans_MUNBIOL @MemorialU

Pretty stunning chart here from @AlexUsherHESA. Things feel tight and a bit financially insecure at UBC, but not desperate. But our situation must look rosey compared to places in other provinces right now... The chart shows prov transfers to PSE sector. higheredstrategy.com/provinc…

#Budget2023 is making science fall behind with no increase in funding, and graduate students under the poverty line. Totally absurd since science got us out of the pandemic, and is essential to solve environmental problems. @cafreeland @justintrudeau #SupportOurScience
