🚨New #astrobiology Paper Alert🚨 Great work by my colleague Clare Fletcher on publishing another chapter of their thesis which, in a nutshell, aims to stop _certain people_ from putting flags on Mars and trampling the planet. 🧪🪐 doi.org/10.1016/j.ps...

🚨 bogus paper alert 🚨 Guess what's wrong with this preprint!? Level: easy But at least it gave me a good chuckle 🤭 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #microsky #archaeasky

When supervisors vanish, where do you turn? Dr Yvonne Couch offers guidance on surviving and thriving in the absence of academic support. @dryvonnecouch.bsky.social #phdlife https://buff.ly/4fI92fT

An interdisciplinary initiative dedicated to Archaea!!! 🦠🔬🦠 I'm very excited to see the things that will come out of it! 🧪 👩‍🔬 #archaeasky #microsky

🚨 New paper alert! 🚨 MinD is famously known for positioning FtsZ at mid-cell in bacteria In our study, myself and @iduggin.bsky.social found that MinD homologues in Haloferax volcanii influence the localisation of CetZ1, a homologue of FtsZ and tubulin #Archaeasky #Microsky

Have you ever heard about sheaths? Happy to share our last paper with @sgribaldo.bsky.social and Guillaume Borrel @pasteur.fr where we investigated their distribution and evolution! doi.org/10.1093/isme... Below a thread of our major findings:

Bacteria, archaea and phages, oh my! 🦠 It's work like this that shows how important it is to study all the domains of life 🧬 #microsky #archaeasky

Hello #microsky! Now that I've made it here, let me introduce myself: 3rd yr PhD uncovering the world of archaeal tubulins 🧬 🦠-iologist by training but dabbling in proteins thanks to @kmichie.bsky.social Also your friendly neighbourhood @jamsorgsyd.bsky.social secretary ✍️

JAMS Sydney has made its way to Bluesky! ✨ Help us connect JAMSters as they make their way over so let us know if you'd like to be added! 🦠 go.bsky.app/B1uUprK

Anymore archaea peeps out there keen to be part of the ‘kingdom’? #archaeasky go.bsky.app/PEx7P9v

There have been a lot of new additions to the starter pack. If you are into any aspects of microbial cell biology or cell biology in general, now’s a great time to follow and engage with the new arrivals 🦋 go.bsky.app/L3L2iFz

Hello Blueskis. Here is a starter pack of General Microbiology. It's a small list currently. Please feel free to self-nominate and I will add you. go.bsky.app/QgSQHJ9
