The biofouling marine tube #worm, #Hydroides #elegans, is an indirect developing #polychaete and significant model organism in #developmentalbiology, #metamorphosis and the #evolution of #host-microbe interactions. @ShikumaLab doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.628

Happy to share a passion project from my PhD working with bacterial genetics and corals! This work wouldn’t have been possible without support from @morganvfarrell Alyssa Demko @DrJMSneed Valerie Paul @BradMoore_SIO @ShikumaLab
Stay tuned for the final version!

Come be my lab mate and join our quickly growing team tackling microbiome editing!
Join the team developing the new field of #microbiome editing! We are recruiting a jointly advised postdoc with Jennifer Doudna @doudna_lab to apply new CRISPR-Cas systems to editing clinically and environmentally relevant microbiomes.

For decades, Dr. Anthony Fauci has led with science to fight infectious disease. His leadership during the pandemic saved countless lives, & his commitment to evidence-based science is a key reason why public policies have been able to protect public health. ASM stands w/ Fauci.

Why you, regardless of where you are and what you do, should care and be outraged about this situation occurring at a small CSU in Northern California, @ChicoState: This kind of thing is pervasive in academia and science. 1/🧵
A prominent @ChicoState biology professor allegedly spoke of killing two female colleagues who cooperated in a 2020 investigation that found he had a prohibited sexual affair with a graduate student, state court and newly released university records show. edsource.org/2022/chico-stat…

Check out this SDSU Research highlight on our work developing bacterial products for biotechnology. @ShikumaLab @SDSU_RF @Metamorphotech1
The work of @SDSU scholars touches every aspect of society – from racial injustice to conservation – and takes place in nearly any location you can imagine – from outer space to the Pacific Ocean.

Some bacteria produce tiny syringes to deliver protein into cells, making these #nanosyringes an exciting new tool for protein #DrugDelivery.
@sci_steph talked to @ShikumaLab @SDSU, @CharlesFEricson @ETH, & @NanoSyrinx to learn more.

I did not have the privilege of directly interacting with Dr. Lynn Margulis outside of occasional Q&A sessions after her seminars. Fortunately, @jfosterUF and Margaret McFall-Ngai did, and here they introduce the special @IntlSymbioSoc journal issue on her link.springer.com/article/10…

Our paper featured @NIEHS Environmental Factor! Am immensely grateful for the @NIH investment in Oceans and Human Health research. The #seaurchin continues to pay dividends - here in understanding drug transporters during development. bit.ly/3bqHCPt

“When we got our first look at them down the electron microscope, it was a bit of a ‘Wow!’ These really do look like syringes,” @Nick_Waterfield @NanoSyrinx & @warwickuni told @sci_steph about his discovery of bacterial #nanosyringes.
