Baylink Lab

Call for manuscripts on bacterial chemotaxis and swimming! I'm partnering with JoVE to assemble a new collection of method, reviews, and research. ➡️Abstracts due Nov. 23rd. I invite you to share your love (and knowledge) of swimming bacteria! www.jove.com/topical-coll... 🧪 🦠 🧫 #microsky

Please share! I'm hiring a new NSF-funded Lab Technician, ideally to start in June at the Claremont Colleges. We study the development of social behavior and its regulation by behavioral, endocrine, and neural mechanisms using a highly social cichlid fish 🐠🧠🧪 +info TessaSolomonLane.com/Hiring

🎉 Congratulations to Bruce Redden for being accepted into the @harvard.edu Medical School MD/PhD Summer Program! This summer, Bruce will work on a mentored research project at HMS and train with clinicians at Massachusetts General Hospital. www.hms.harvard.edu/md_phd/heart...

Lots of great vector-borne disease research in our department here at #WSU in Pullman, WA. Come join the team! Borrelia, Anaplasma, and more! Veterinary Microbiology & Pathology Dept within the College of Veterinary Medicine. #lymedisease #microsky #idsky 🧪🦠🧫

Scientists: scale of 1-10 how do you feel about the new required SciENcv biosketch format? 10=love 5=no difference to old 1=deep hatred 🧪🦠🧫🧬

Enjoying the great science at STiM in Ventura, CA!

12+ years & multiple generations of scientists. We are excited to share a new preprint describing structure(s) of H. pylori transducer-like protein D (TlpD), a key chemotaxis protein and a model for a widespread class of soluble chemoreceptors. ▶️ Preprint: lnkd.in/gUw67dU8 🦠 🧪 #microsky #idsky

Heading to the Sensory Transduction in Microorganisms meeting shortly - looking forward to hearing the latest and greatest on bacterial motility and #chemotaxis www.grc.org/sensory-tran... 🦠 #microsky 🧪

A little lab holiday spirit

First major snowfall of the year in #CougarCountry! Perfect for writing papers and grants.

A big congratulations to future #IDsky physician-scientist Bruce Redden for his research presentation award at this year's ABRCMS. Lots of time and practice went into that presentation! Such a great meeting for the next generation of researchers to network & share discoveries! 🦠🧪 #medsky #medsky

ASM NW was wonderful this year! In addition to the great science, this trainee-focused meeting plays such an important role in providing the next generation of scientists, microbiologists, and clinicians an opportunity to learn, network, and share their own research. 🧪🦠

#BLAST A great lab to investigate bacterial locomotion and signal transduction! #microsky #idsky 🧪🦠🧫

Registration is open! Come join us at the sensory transduction in microorganisms GRC! Spread the word! www.grc.org/sensory-tran...

Talent recruitment programmes have enticed many researchers to return to China. But how successful have they been? I spoke with several researchers who have analysed these trends and assessed their impact on China's research ecosystem 🧪

And this also biases the directions and priorities of science in ways that don’t necessarily reflect the values of the broader public.

Scientists: anyone else's first draft of manuscript figures look like these? 🧪 #chemotaxis #microsky #motility

June is #NationalCancerSurvivorMonth. Thanks to cancer research, millions of people in the U.S. and worldwide are living with, through, and beyond a cancer diagnosis. Test your knowledge with our Cancer Survivorship quiz. www.aacr.org/Pages/NCSM-Q... #CelebrateSurvivorship

A paper in Nature reports the discovery of a new species of tyrannosauroid — the group of dinosaurs that includes Tyrannosaurus rex. This discovery sheds new light on the evolution of wider tyrannosaur species. go.nature.com/4jM0KVo #Paleosky 🧪

I've got some expanded thoughts on yesterday's State of the Science event.

Interested in the microbiome? Don’t miss this meeting at CalTech in September!
