Justin Silpe awarded the 2024 Tiger Entrepreneur Award for entrepreneurial achievement. While a postdoc in the Bassler lab, Silpe co-founded the company PumpKin pumpforourkin.com to extend the shelf life of human breast milk. princeton.edu/news/2024/11/0…

These laureates are VERY deserving. But an important addendum—no model could be trained without 40 years of Helen Berman and others’ work at the PDB, and we would not be certain of AF’s success without 30 years of John Moult and others’ work on CASP. Hats off to them as well 🥂

This #MicroscopyMonday shows millions of Vibrio cholerae bacteria. These #bacteria have a mutation that makes them constantly produce biofilm-a sticky substance made of sugars & proteins which helps bacteria stick to surfaces.

New preprint from my postdoc with Bonnie Bassler! We show that phage VP882 responds to different host factors depending on the environmental context of the infected host, highlighting the need to study phage-bacteria interactions in relevant contexts to get the full picture.

It's not that complicated. We can and should simultaneously celebrate Dr. Kariko for her ideas and persistence in the face of adversity, while acknowledging that she succeeded in spite of us, and realize it is our duty to do whatever we can to never let it happen again.
