First preprint from my PhD looking at the #hostrange of a #bacteriophage across a panel of 64 hosts. We found that the relationship between hosts is an important determinant of #viral susceptibility and replication across #Staphylococcus hosts🦠🧫🔬

Neat study by my new labmate Sarah Walsh et al. on how susceptibility to a bacteriophage is largely explained by host phylogeny across Staphylococcus strains + species. There are a few clade effects, but by and large the correlation between host phylogeny and susceptibility is very strong.
That might be expected of animals: a species is likely to behave biologically similar to its relatives.
But with #bacteria 🦠? Horizontal gene transfer could be a whole different ball game.... or maybe not!?

Take a look at our recently published story about an unexpected role of B cells delaying intestinal mucosal healing!⏳🩹
A huge collaborative work with Annika Frede, Paulo Czarnewski, @ejvillablanca and many other! 🎉🎉🎉

It feels like this will be my last month in Twitter. I hope to see you guys at Mastodon or anywhere not run by such a douche

Hopping back on for a sec: if Trump owned Twitter, removed COVID info moderation, reinstated antisemites, then promoted all his tweets incl "prosecute Fauci," would you really stay on Twitter?

Musk's tweet about Fauci is stochastic terrorism.
America doesn't prosecute oligarchs so they know they won't be held accountable. That is why Musk feels he can get away with sending the mob after Fauci.
@NicoleCRust I've cut pretty much all use of twitter except to run a sort of Mastodon phone book of science accounts over there. I'm liking it over here - not quite up to where the Other Site is for news and some cultural content (I miss all the art bots and cinema accounts), but the science and research community is shaping up nicely. Here's one indicator: after a month, I have yet to block or mute anyone.

With Musk’s call to prosecute Fauci, I’m thinking it’s finally time to step back from Twitter.

I’m also enjoying Mastodon more.
There are still powerful communities there doing good (URMs; advocacy) and I don’t fault anyone for staying there for that. But I don’t think I can justify my own contributions there, ethically.
How are all of you thinking about this topic?
@christlet Good move Christophe

An advantage of living in the semitropical city of #NewOrleans is that wildlife can be seen year-round here. A disadvantage is that some of that year-round wildlife is made up of #mosquitoes.
