OK. I’ve been waiting for this moment for a while… 🤗🫣🥳
Excited to share our new preprint where we discover 21 new anti-phage systems:
"An expanding arsenal of immune systems that protect bacteria from phages"

To ensure you can benefit from our findings, we developed ConfoundR confoundr.qub.ac.uk/ to easily interrogate the potential confounding effects on individual gene or signature across colorectal, pancreatic, breast, ovarian and prostate cancer datasets - why not try it out!

Looks like the future has arrived. Cell biology and structural biology, traditionally considered distinct disciplines, will be merging further.
This imaging platform brings together 3D super-resolution fluorescence microscopy and electron microscopy—and it works on whole cells preserved cryogenically. It’s revealing the fine inner structure of cells in new detail. Read (and watch) more here: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

It's hard to refuse opportunities, but here is an advice Bonnie Bassler gave yesterday (paraphrasing):
"Say no to things you'd do just because you can so they can go to someone who will maybe treasure them"
Guilt-free wisdom to improve work/life balance: say no, pay it forward. – at Chicago, IL
