🎤Welcoming @hendersonlab.bsky.social to @bactivac.bsky.social ANM26! 📅 10–12 Nov 2026, Rio, Brazil 💉 Agnostic approaches to vaccine design: developing a pan serovar #Salmonella #vaccine 👉 bit.ly/ANM26 #BactiVacEvents #AMR @wellcometrust.bsky.social @britsocimm.bsky.social @microbiologysociety.org
Finished my work trip earlier this week with a visit and seminar at @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social - many thanks to @bugsinblood.bsky.social for playing host! Great catch up with Gadi Frankel too! Most coincidentally, met @hendersonlab.bsky.social on ICL campus - what are the odds?!

I’m from the generation that remembers when these diseases ran rampant. Perhaps we need to be reminded with a dose of repeated history
Why does daptomycin resistance appear so fast in Enterococcus? We finally have a clue. DAP resistance in enterococci pops up quickly. What’s been missing is why resistance-associated membrane changes look the way they do, and why the classic path of mutations is so predictable.

Autism should not be seen as single condition with one cause, say scientists
Those diagnosed as small children typically have distinct genetic profile from those diagnosed later, study finds

Delthia Ricks@dricks.bsky.social · 10mo agoAutism is not a single condition & has no single cause. New British research—which hasn't been tainted by RFKjr's lunacy—reveals that those diagnosed w/ autism early in life show distinct genetic & developmental profiles from those diagnosed later www.wired.com/story/autism...
Your data is lying to you. Here’s how technical artifacts distort biology—and how to see the truth. 👇 1/ Beautiful t-SNE? Shiny heatmap? Look closer. Technical artifacts can fake whole cell types. Here’s where the ghosts hide.

4 years ago I was honored to host the legendary Elio Schaechter in the microbiology journal club, when he was only 93 yo... Elio told us about very peculiar microbes that travel 1 mm/sec, reside inside mitochondria, ride a microbial bus...He named my kids who also joined "micro microbiologists" RIP

I know you will all play a tiny violin but I genuinely very rarely get invited to speak at big conferences. So the invite this morning to present at ESCMID next year is a career highlight! Can’t wait!!!!
Thank you @inflammasomelab.bsky.social and @s-burgener.bsky.social for the invitation to visit the IMB@UQ in Brisbane! I had a fantastic time presenting my postdoc work in the Kagan lab (@jkagan1.bsky.social) and talking science!
