Sabe por que nenhum bolsonarista está pedindo para Flávio abrir o sigilo bancário? Porque eles sabem em quem estão votando, e que todo o discurso moral deles contra a corrupção não passa de uma retórica para justificar o voto em um miliciano corrupto!
Eu to rindo tanto dos 3% de b*lsonaristas nas minhas redes sociais afetadissimos com o movimento de hoje. Tá triste que estamos usando a camisa do Br? Se for chorar, manda audio 💁🏻♀️ #LulaJaSomos5Milhoes #bateuodesespero

Excited to share our new paper in @AEMjournal. We examined how dietary oils affect black soldier fly larval performance, gut microbiome structure, and biomass composition. A great example of how host physiology, nutrition, and the microbiome intersect.

The Streptococcal Biology GRC/GRS are open for applications. Acceptances are underway and the meeting is on track to fill up.
If you’re aiming for a short talk (lots of slots), registering early is important for full consideration.
Plz share widely!

A reminder that UTK Microbiology is hiring for two tenure-track faculty positions — one in quantitative plant-microbe interactions and another in microbial drivers of chronic disease. Review of applications begins November 21.

Now published @NatureComms, congrats @Bevika2 Kinki Jim, @vincentdebakker Florian Bock, @PaddyGibson2!

Checkout @Bevika2 preprint! She used CRISPRi-seq to determine antibiotic-stress signatures, specifically of pneumococci treated with fluoroquinolone antibiotics. It's a really powerful approach revealing a surprising antibiotic combination therapy. 1/9 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

From bench to bedside—innovative research in our department is driving real impact. Dr. Lindsey Burcham’s collaboration with UT Medical Center connects lab-based studies of the vaginal microbiome to maternal and infant health outcomes.

Getting the spiderwebs out to excitedly share our new work @KimInGeneva lab. We studied how Enterococci use lactic acid to suppress the inflammatory response and promote virulence.
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… It is now under review, stay tuned for a revised version when published.=)

Applications are open for the 2025 GRS/GRC on Staphylococcal Diseases! Make sure to get your abstracts submitted for the opportunity to present your work in beautiful Barcelona! grc.org/staphylococcal-disea… @turley20_mary
Our paper is out! If you work with systemic models of bacterial infection in mice, we hope this is a good tool to decide the best model for your research!
