📢'The World Is Your Oyster' is for those who are born in global north countries--don't experience visa bureaucracy & emotional burden that non-white global south scholars do. Citizenship is a privilege that we need to recognize in the academe. 1/n

Super fun collab with @mike_wuo. We image mycobacteria treated w/ a mycolic acid integration probe and see antibiotic-mediated ejection of cell membrane. Different drugs induce secretory vesicles with different morphology and immunomodulatory effects on macrophages #tuberculosis
Phenotypic assays are powerful yet rarely report on the nuances of bacterial life cycle perturbation. We developed a chemical reporter of mycobacterial cell division and used it to understand antibiotic action. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/….

WOO for Wuo!🎊 @mike_wuo et al design a new probe to discover how the mycobacterial cell wall rearranges itself in the presence of antibiotics. Why won't the lipid bilayer just let these antibiotics in?? Find out here: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
