Join us in beautiful Madison WI! In addition to the postdoc call I previously announced, I am seeking applicants for a Scientist position. IMO this position is best suited for someone who successfully completed their postdoctoral training, see here for more details: jobs.wisc.edu/jobs/scienti...
New paper from us.
If you're interested in genetic manipulation of Clostridia, we have a few new tools for you! 36 new plasmids - all available from @addgene.bsky.social

You mean my hours spent as a chronically online teenager are finally going to benefit me 20 years later!?!?
I am on version 10 of my NIH Common Form cv because I spent the last 2 hours doing HTML formatting on the text and finding things I missed formatting.
My heart goes out to all the reviewers who will be reading biosketches next round that are a sea of plaintext with no white space.
No ads. No paywalls. No sponsors shaping the message.
MicrobeTV exists to make science education freely available, even when that’s the harder path.
If our programs have informed or helped you this year, we hope you’ll consider making a contribution.

Friday we lost a brilliant mind, colleague, and friend to her battle with pancreatic cancer. Those who knew her will remember Helene Andrews-Polymenis for her warmth, generosity and leadership. She will be missed by many. RIP
Helene was so giving to others about her battle, and went through to make it into maybe the top 1% of survivors of pancreatic cancer, before succumbing Dec 19, 2025 all while losing her father to it. She supported @letswinpc.org and the family asks for you to consider supporting them as well.💔
Can we, as a community, agree to stop submitting papers before a Winter / Holiday break? On the reviewer side, it’s gonna be a while. On the editor side, it’s impossible to find reviewers. That paper can wait until January. 😇

Dr. James Smith’s research in TAMU Biology is uncovering powerful new antimicrobial agents to treat multidrug-resistant infections. By combining discovery with clinical innovation, his work is shaping our fight against these dangerous pathogens! tx.ag/smith25
The long-haired people in the lab would go home smelling like autoclaved anaerobe cultures. The sulfur compounds……. So smelly.
This fall, Texas A&M Biology welcomes over 750 new biology students to campus! We’re excited to kick off a year of discovery, learning, & scientific growth with our amazing undergraduate & graduate Aggies. Here’s to a great semester, welcome Aggies! tx.ag/welcome25

Can viruses help fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria? Dr. Jolene Ramsey in TAMU Biology is harnessing bacteriophages, bacterial predators, to develop targeted therapies against dangerous infections. Discover how phage research changes the future! tx.ag/ramsey25
How does Toxoplasma gondii breach barriers like the placenta to infect the body? Dr. Sangaré’s lab in TAMU Biology is unraveling the molecular tricks this widespread parasite uses to spread and cause disease. Their research could pave the way for new treatments and better protection! tx.ag/sangare25
Congratulations to Dr. Marie Strader, recipient of the NSF CAREER award! Her groundbreaking research in TAMU Biology explores how jellyfish adapt and thrive in changing environments, while her innovative teaching and outreach inspire the next generation of scientists. tx.ag/stradernsf25
In light of today’s news about the National Cancer Institute announcing a 4% payline, it’s really important to communicate to people that the previous 10% payline was still effectively a lottery and the result of decades of underfunding the NIH. Paylines used to be 25%.
How does the brain’s internal clock keep our bodies in sync with day and night? Dr. Jeff Jones in TAMU Biology is uncovering how the SCN, our central circadian timekeeper, shapes everything from sleep to metabolism! tx.ag/jones25
How do our internal clocks shape health, and what happens when they break? Dr. Jerome Menet’s lab in TAMU Biology studies the genes that set our body’s rhythms, revealing connections to sleep, metabolism, & disease. Discover why circadian timing matters: tx.ag/menet25
How do internal clocks drive the “butterfly effect” behind monarch migration? In the Merlin Lab at TAMU Biology, researchers study how circadian clocks in monarchs’ antennae keep their journeys perfectly timed. tx.ag/merlin25
How can we repel harmful immune cells to treat disease? The Gomer Lab in TAMU Biology have discovered new chemorepulsion mechanisms that could help clear neutrophils from the lungs in Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). tx.ag/P91fRyi
