1. CRISPR came from basic research on bacteria.
2. Optogenetics started with a discovery in algae.
3. The GFP protein comes from jellyfish.
The biggest breakthroughs all trace to scientists follow their curiosity. This is one huge reason why we must keep funding basic research!

Can bacteria have too many flagella?
More flagella help Salmonella swim faster and spread farther, but building them slows growth.
In our new preprint, we quantify this trade-off and predict an optimum close to wild type.

How do bacteria build their flagella?
We’ve put together an animation of Salmonella flagellum assembly based on cryo-EM and X-ray structures.
From the membrane-embedded machinery to the growing filament, here’s how the parts come together, step-by-step.

Ok Bangalore Twitter need help.
My cousin is undergoing cancer treatment at HCG (near Mission Road).
He needs blood donations and we have exhausted our family members.
If anyone is willing to donate please ping me - I will share details. Any blood group is fine - the hospital just needs replacement.
(Please RT for karma. We need as much blood as possible)

The 3 most important ingredients for good science are solid experimental design, proper controls, & well executed statistical analysis. Other stuff, cool new techniques, fancy pricey machinery, nifty AI tools? Those are nice to have but won't matter if the basics are done badly.
Last 2 days for PhD Program application
