Big thanks to the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at University of Otago for hosting me for a sabbatical. I thoroughly enjoyed the stay! Time to travel slowly back to the UK (and start being a stranger on an island), but first a visit to IMB/University of Queensland.

In B. subtilis, TerC proteins function in Mn export to support the metalation of exoenzymes. MeeY is also required (directly or indirectly) for production of surfactin, a lipopeptide required for swarming motility! (collab. with Dan Kearns' lab @IU). #MicroSky journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold. We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940. 2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

I always recall a line from The Exorcist, which said that the devil doesn’t lie—he does something far worse: he mixes truth with lies. The same can be said for journals like Frontiers or MDPI. They publish good papers with others which are absolute BS, to the detriment and disrespect of the first ☹️
